ZhuJiaJiao is a small town near Shanghai. During the day they have some touristy stuff and at night it returns to a normal town.
Walking along the narrow back lanes of Zhujiajiao late at night I noticed a light on. Looking in I saw people playing majong (like playing cards). They saw me watching and invited me in, I sat down and watched them play, they invited me to play, I explained I had never played and would just slow them down. They smiled and said no problem I was welcome to watch. I was invited to sit down and someone brought me tea and offered me cigarettes (courtesy in China). I watched them play for a while, then wondered why the menu had not arrived and where the other tables were. Suddenly I realized I was in someone’s living room!!!
I drank tea until I finished and hunger finally drove me out. I am sure they would have offered me dinner but I was already embarrassed by the extreme hospitality. Sweet people
