Not too long ago, we just got back from taking a rather long walk after taking the subway to find the Pearl Market that we went to on saturday. We walked and walked but ended up not finding it, even after trying to ask around, which is hard with the language barrier. At least we got a little exercise and burned off some calories, so it really wasn't all that bad, only that we didn't know we would be walking that far and flip-flops definitely aren't the way to go. Moving on to the earlier events of today...
Today we met with more university students at yet another coffee shop, which is kind of a nice setting actually. We sat around and discussed our likes and our cultures while even getting into deeper conversation if we saw fit. And because music is a big part of their culture as well, Jared and Gabe play and sing some songs, one of which they taught today was "Home On The Range". Kelley also had a fun activity for us and it ended up being the Hokey Pokey, good times. We noticed this time around that a lot of the students didn't know english as well as the first group we met with, so it made talking with them more difficult. Afterwards, we came back to the hotel and just relaxed for a while before going out to dinner, which was good to have since we're always just going until after dinner most days. Tomorrow we're heading off to the infamous Great Wall and invited the students in more organized fashion than when we went to the Temple of Heaven, so it should be a great time!
