Friday we bought a new camera because my old one met an early death by cab. So if the pictures look extra blurry it is because I am learning how to use it. After that we headed down to Tianton Park and wandered around there for a while. We saw lots of people walking backwards which apparently is a way to get better exercise. I took a lot of pictures of these people but you have to go on faith because in the pics it looks like they are walking forwards.


The first FFV of the day.


Tianton itself.






I took tons of pictures because I wanted to try out my new camera. One was of a hole in the wall where I had to pretty much lie down to see anything. This made an old woman and her daughter almost die laughing watching me. In the park there was also a cool section where people were singing and dancing and playing cards.






Walking backwards.








An OG playing badminton, note the pant leg rolled up.


Possible the best FFV I saw in China. Note the coordination between the color of the FFV and the clothes she is wearing.




A market selling buddhism stuff.






We wandered around the pearl market as well but did not buy much. My taste for that market has fallen the more time I spend in the other ones. It is just too touristy. We wandered around outside for a while picking up a great Chinese pizza but then headed to WangFuJing for drinks. In the middle of the mall they were handing out free drinks of Cointreau which were pretty good I guess, I did not try one because orange liqueur just does not sound good to me.

We then went to RBL and were the only people in the restaurant. We had decent Japanese food and some really good wine. The dinner was a lot of fun and a good way to send my mom and aunt back to the states.
