For the Books
I’m tired, so this is gonna be quick … Here’s today’s rundown!
- Dad and mom helped me teach 2 classes today … dad told the kids about our family history and mom told a funny story from my childhood.
- We had fried rice and noodles for lunch at my favorite tiny restaurant near my school.
- We also took a guided tour of the Liangang Steel and Iron Factory, a huge modern facility that employs 17,000 people and uses some gigantic machinery to produce billions of tons of metal every year.
- Dinner was at a really nice restaurant with Star and Barbara, two of my local friends … we had eel, beef, lotus root, pumpkin, and green beans.
- Afterwards, we went to another arcade, where we played basketball, danced, and conquered an interesting matching game. We met Grahm (my fellow Loudi foreigner) there and talked for a while.
- To end the evening, Star and Barbara took us to a traditional Chinese tea bar where we (and especially mom) enjoyed some very high quality tea freshly grown in Hunan.
