Potstickers

Day 2 in Seattle.  The day began with jet-lag haze, but we still got a lot done.  We saw the Pike Place Markets and the fish tossing that Kin Mun knew about from Dace.  It was a performance as well as selling!

We went to the Space Needle, found a huge Columbia shop with prices much better than Sydney, walked down to Pioneer Square and in the middle of all that, went back to our hotel room for a snooze.  And another one dollar ride on the light rail.

We inadvertently found ourselves in the less salubrious area of town - a surprise after all the genteel comfort we had seen.  I WAS right about capitalism after all!

Trump doesn't exist until you read the papers.  Haven't put on the TV to watch our favourite MSNBC yet.  No doubt we will get the chance.

This was my lunch - pic below.  The menu said "potstickers", the waitress described them as dumplings, but they were close to gyoza.  I guess when you are the largest economy in the world, you get naming rights. (The coins are us taking the chance to get rid of our loose change).
