Well, we just got back from the university and from dinner. We made some new friends today and had a really great time. I wasn’t playing ball because I was playing photographer instead, but the guys who were playing ball were just planning on warming up some on the first day and just shooting some hoops. Unfortunately for them, that didn’t go as planned haha. The university team showed up for practice, and their coach told them they could play our guys instead. So they played 4 games back to back. The university team won 3 and we won 1. Still, our guys put up a good fight, and since they had never played together as a team before we were pretty proud.
The pictures that I took of the games are not that great since my camera is not that high quality. Elizabeth took some really great pics, so I’ll try to grab them off her husband Jason’s digital camera and post them later. I’ll go ahead and post some of the ones that I have, though.
And then after the game we were out to eat at a Cantonese restaurant for supper. Ironically, the Cantonese food was closer to the Chinese food that we eat at home than the Chinese restaurant that we ate at last night was. Still no egg rolls, though. I’m starting to suspect that the Chinese food we eat at home doesn’t exist in China. I think they just made it up for us Americans.
A few of the guys we met at the university joined us for supper, so that was pretty cool. It’s always great to make new friends.
And then we walked home through what we call Times Square (although that’s not the real name of course). It’s a square in the downtown district that we’re in that resembles Times Square, though. It’s definitely pretty at night! Here are a couple of pics…
Well, it’s time to go wind down by going and getting a 45 minute scalp and shoulder massage for $3-4 U.S. Ahhhh, life is rough. I’ll post more tomorrow! Good night, or good day, depending on where you are in the world…
