I just want to say thanks to everyone who is commenting. While I am not responding directly to them, I read them all and it makes me feel like writing this blog is actually a worth while way of communicating my travels to all of you back home. My Chinese is very basic… thank you, hello, one, i don’t understand, no, i don’t want, essentially all you need to get you into tourist attractions, order food, other simple pleasures. Thanks for the Canuck scores dad, and good luck with the fireworks Mom.
Last night we went out to dinner at a Japanese place of all places, and oh my god the food was amazing. It was all you can eat Teppinyaki, as well as all you can drink. I had soo much, but it was really just the right amount. Today we checked out the “tailor market” where they custom make your clothes for you, then we went to the “fake” market (aka the cheap market) where they sell knock-off everything. Some of it is pretty tempting, but i didn’t bite on anything there. After we went and got a blind massage, where you get a massage by a blind person. I loved it of course… a full hour for like 7 or so dollars.
Plans are dinner tonight, don’t really know where, but it will probably be yummy, and most likely a decent adventure again.
