A western cultural oasis that was both a jolt and a welcome change, after three months in rural China. The multicultural amenities made the transition easier and especially the food choices which allowed sampling of old favorites as well as the daily Asian options that have been my staples and prefered choice for these last few months. Overall a most pleasant visit.
