On day six, at that night, we chose a Chinese restaurant to eat / for dinner. The managers of the restaurant were three Chinese aunties. I guessed that they were born in Munich and I didn’t get any negative feeling from them. They were enthusiastic, warm and friendly and they recommended us some good dishes. In addition, they even gave us a present which was a kettle of Chinese tea and a piece of Chinese rice. Of course, they were free.

On the other hand, they reminded us that refugees had had a bad influence on the safety of Munich. It means that we had better come back to our hotel earlier than planned that night. I was wrong as I had predicted the number of those refugees who came from the Middle East would not be so high in Bavaria province that travelers had better not to stay at downtown at night.

I was so poor that I didn’t even have 10 RMB.
