Here I would love to share with you our travels and adventures as international mushroom consultants. MEMOIRS about husband Pieter Vedder, who was a SCIENTIFIC PIONEER in Mushroom Cultivation Education. His practical handbook is in 9 languages and is called the MUSHROOM BIBLE: https://mariettesbacktobasics.blogspot.com/2020/08/modern-mushroom-growing-2020-harvesting.html

{Part XI of Husband Pieter's Trip to East Asia - Impressions of Fuzhou, China}

It sure was early rising for the team members as the bus picked them up at 6:15 AM for going to the airport and fly to Fuzhou, some 2,000 km to the south.
China is a VAST country!
Again flying on such a rattling Russian Ilyushin Il-62 ...
This is husband Pieter at a Shii-take farm...
After lunch, Pieter did lecture for the Fuzhou Academy on March 27, 1987.
 His translator already got better acquainted with the topic, after his first time in Beijing...
There were several meetings with the Center of Trade etc.
Walking around the city, it again was quite obvious that most people used their bikes!
One can tell it is 2,000 kilometer to the south, more green and people are not that bundled up as in Beijing.
Laundry is hanging outside almost everywhere.
Most are in their shirt, without a coat or jacket...
City life...
In East Asia it always looks like one half of the population is selling something to the other half...
Guess they had not often seen tourists...
Police is watching out...
 Balconies seem to be loaded with plants...
Again laundry hanging to dry from the balconies and windows.
Plants and laundry and one can see the construction with some bamboo poles for hanging things...
Very narrow alleys!
Bikes and laundry hanging from the balcony.
More laundry...
Even hanging from the tree!
Going home with a life chicken...
Just interesting to walk a bit around...
More green trees here.
No markings on the road...
Like mentioned before, everybody seems to be selling something...
Looks like this kid had more often an ice cream...
Did you notice his 'sleeves'?
Guess that is for protection or what... Does anyone know about this?
Is that where the saying 'Having something up your sleeve' comes from?
Everything is being done at street-side...
Nice, road repair or whatever, in front of this shop...
Some goat meat for sale...
No, thanks!
Any chicken?
That was Fuzhou, People Republic of China for a 3-night stay.
Next we will go from Guangzhou, which is even more south from Fuzhou, to Hong Kong by train...

  7. It all looks so grey and the building so dilapidated. One can see how busy everyone is going about their daily life.
    Have a wonderful weekend Mariette.

  8. Those are such interesting photos! Looks like a very busy city. Hanging laundry reminds me of Japan. Though, I haven't seen laundry hung from tree before :-)
    Love your header. What a beautiful spring scenery! Have a wonderful weekend, Mariette. Happy April!

  9. Dear Mariette,

    Loved seeing Pieters photos of his trip to China and must be an interesting place. My sister in law went over to the country side of China to teach some of the growers about kiwifruit and could not get over the squat bathroom out in the open fields.
    They asked her to go a second time but she did not want to go. Hong Kong was like that with washing hanging out on the balconies.
    Have a great weekend dear friend
    hugs
    Carolyn

  11. Hello Mariette, Everything you show here can still be seen in Taiwan (and likely other Asian countries). The sleeve protectors are still readily available; they used to have them in the U.S. also; one sometimes sees them in old period-set movies.

  12. Lieve Mariette,

    Kan er uren naar kijken hier op de blog of tijdens vakantie in verre landen:het actieve straatbeeld en de mensen.
    Wat de mouwen van de pennendokter betreft,het zijn beschermende mouwen die heden ten dagen nog altijd in veel beroepen gebruikt worden voor de veiligheid,Google met het zoekwoord beschermende of veiligheidsmouwen en ze vliegen nog net niet om je oren van allerlei materialen.
    Heb zo het idee dat deze vulpennenreparateur de mouwen van zijn blauwe mao jasje wil beschermen.
    Zou hij specialist zijn in het repareren van de bekende Hero vulpennen(Shanghai Hero Company een van de oudste en grootste schrijfwarenfabrikanten van China?)
    Wanneer ik al die bedrijvigheid zie in het Chinese straatbeeld vind ik het spreekwoord:de handen uit de mouwen steken wel zeer toepasselijk.

    Bezoek al anderhalve maand wekelijks oogarts bij Bergman clinics,heb hoornvlies ontsteking en herpesvirus op oog,verschillende antibiotica kuren in pillen,druppels en zalven,beschermende lens op oog maar tot nog toe geen resultaten,visus is nog maar 45%,maak me grote zorgen.
    Zodra ik wat langer aan beeldscherm kan zitten en beter zie ga ik Pieters China reis en alle links eens goed bekijken,op dit moment is het te vermoeiend voor mijn ogen.

    Fijne zondag en lieve groet,
    Ger

  15. Hallo Mariette,
    sehr interessante, eindrucksvolle Bilder aus China. Ganz anders als wir sie aus dem Fernsehen kennen.
    Die Straßenbilder spiegeln das wirkliche Leben wieder.
    Gruß, Anette
