So some people seem to be confused as to where I am haha. I am in Hohhot (or Huhhot, or Huhaote, etc..), which is the capital of the province of Inner Mongolia, China. It is definitely a Chinese city, but with lots of Mongolian influences. Most things around are written in Chinese, but there are Mongolian and English translations in some places ( the English is usually not correct!). You can tell the people walking around that are Mongolian, because they usually have longer hair and a less "city-like" appearance. Even the foods are different- while the Chinese eat lots of rice, the Mongolian are more about noodles (and onions-yuck!). Chinese food is about soups and such, while the Mongolians like to bake things into pancake-type breads. Both types are food are quite yummy though! From everything I have heard from native Chinese people, Hohhot is a very different city from the rest of China, and I am looking forward to experiencing more areas!
