Hoopin in Shanghai
Got up at 9am to play some hoops. We went ran to this street court about 5 blocks from the apartment, and man, did people look weird at us? Ok, normally they look weird at us, but today in running gear, running on the sidewalk...I don't wanna know what they thought of us. lol. We could play on the court for 5 CNY/hour. So we stayed there quite some time, the 3 or us and 2 kids hoopin on a basket...you should have seen us. Girls in tights playing basketball...imagine that. lol.
Then we decided to go or a walkand see if we could find something interesting to eat. Well, everything is interesting here in China, but seing new things everyday when I'm here, that's a-have-to. We passed this bright pink skyskrape on our mission to find food. Hah, sounds like we're out hunting for food...but we kinda where. I also saw some huge frogs, bull frogs, that people eat. All these animals are alive and you can pick the one you want and bring I guess. Gotta say it's nasty, eeeeeww, i can hardly look at all the alive eals, frogs, fishes, turtles, clay fishs and snails...just waiting to be chosen and die. Either at the restaurant or in someones home.
And today, first evening, we didn't go out and eat. We went to Tesco and bought some grocerys and cooked a delicious dinner @ home. Great success! Oh, and we also got this thing to the toilet, can't be flushed...we needed something to loosen up the big "plug" in on of the toilets...well, let me say it's still "boiling" in it...maybe a call to the plummer one of the days should be on our list, so he can come here and work some magic =)
