Hangzhou has a Hooters

Hangzhou is a city to the near west of Shanghai with a population around 4 million. While it is smaller, it is definitely more modern than Wuhan with its Hooters, 500 Starbucks, and cleanesque air. Hangzhou is home to the famous West Lake, Xi Hu, and many cool towers that look beautiful during the day and also the night.

The title may lead you astray, but it shows something important. I went to Hangzhou this weekend to find they had a Hooters on a normal street. This was a weird thing for me to see in China because I always felt that China was against sexually-suggestive-restaurant ventures. However, I didn’t have a chance to go there; we just drove by many times. It was weird.

Also, it is home to the worst silk museum ever, even though it may be the only silk museum in the world. It was called a museum, but I am not sure if it qualified. It was a bunch of different sales pitch rooms filled with fake silk that could be easily set ablaze causing massive holes and structural damage. In contrast, real silk maintains its beauty and structure after a fire; it just ends up smelling like burnt hair. So I guess you could say I learned a lot, but you can’t say I bought a lot because it was expensive.
