Proof that Chinese donuts do exist

Today I went to Yingge with my coworkers. It was fun as we ate, looked around, they made pottery, (I already did it 2x and so I didn't do it again), and went shopping. We got there around close to noonish and we spent about 5 hrs there but we didn't have enough time to go to the museum. It was nice just to check everything out and actually there was another street I didn't get to see before so it was nice to see something new. I couldn't find the pottery place that I went before with my relatives but we found another one which was still good enough although they couldn't choose their colors for the bowls. After they made pottery, we went shopping and I got some cool things including a whistle that sounds like a bird. It's designed like a rooster and you add a little water and you just blow at the tip and it makes a sound. I gave that one to Drew and a pretty bird one for Cala lol They also had panda ones too.

There was a lot of good snack food of course and I passed a donut stand. I've seen many donut stands before but this one has been the most enticing since it looked just like the ones that I made at AAC. The only difference is that I didn't put a filling inside the donut and the ones the lady was selling did. There are different flavors as the signs from left to right are taro, red bean, and butter. The first picture above really captures why I think Chinese donuts are great as the sign directly translates as "time longevity good sip, no eat regrets" and what does that mean? My short, direct interpretation is that "life is too short; eat and have no regrets." Anyway I just wanted to prove that there are Chinese donuts although I'm sure they are just called donuts lol The other pictures are of me and my coworkers at Yingge. It was a fun, relaxing day!
