Friday Funday

Ok for those that complained about not having updated frequently here is another new blog post. Yesterday I had the day off and I decided I would walk across the river to the other side of Jinhua to go to Walmart. That's right I went all the way to the opposite side of the world and there is a Walmart in Jinhua, in fact if I look out my window I see the Walmart sign on top of it's building across the river.Here is a picture I took of the Walmart building as I was walking there
While I was crossing the bridge their was a really old style Chinese building, I have no idea what it is for but I took a picture of it to share with all of you.
After I went to Walmart I took a taxi home because I didn't want to carry everything I bought for the three or so miles that I walked to get to Walmart. The taxi ride cost me 8rmb which is about a dollar and thirty cents.I went to dinner with a couple of my students at a really popular restaurant here in Jinhua. The people here really like it because all the food is old style, with the fish all being wild caught and not farm raised. After dinner we went to Emily's cousin's bar which is near one of the Universities in Jinhua. I had a really great time hanging out listening to music and got a great laugh at how light weight the Chinese are. Their drink of choice last night was Baileys which they mixed with cans of milk. It was funny watching them get drunk, and the music was American music so it was all good. I played a few games of pool with a random Chinese girl who spoke no English so it was a little amusing at how we had to pantomime our communications. I took a picture of the bar and will include it at the end of this post. All of you stay safe and I'll see ya!
