A Very Like, Very Interesting Day :)

Well today held many events that I will not forget anytime soon. The most prominent being an old man offering to pay me for "entertainment" while we were walking around downtown. We walked by him and he started to follow me and held out a 10 kuai (about $1.50) bill and smiled at me in a very creepy way and kept following me until my emphatic negative nods finally dissuaded him. He did not offer this invitation to anyone else which made me the object of every joke for the rest of the day... and probably for many days to come.

We arrived downtown around 3pm and went to Zapata's for Mexican food and all you can drink margaritas. It's a good thing we went with extreme skepticism and without high expectations because the mexican food was not mexican food. They had cheeseburgers and hot dogs. We were shocked that they didn't even have chips and salsa. We hung out there for about 3 hours drinking margaritas and then headed out to Nanjing Road, a very popular shopping spot. We were too tired to haggle today but we scoped out a few good places to return to.

Tomorrow Selina and might invest in a bike. I could possibly die while riding a bike here because I don't think any of the drivers have gone through driver's ed but I think it won't be a true Chinese experience unless I get one. Besides, the risk is part of the fun :) I'm also going to Walmart to get a lot of fruit. That's what I miss the most right now, a good fruit bowl in the mornings.

Make sure you guys are being safe with all the bad weather coming in!!!
