usually the internet in the apartment isn't very reliable. whenever it is down and i want to blog or post pics i got to the coffee shop with free wifi but no AC that is on the next block. when you walk in and sit down, a waitress comes over to you, hands you a menu, and stands there until you tell her what you want.
we (the girls) did go get our nails done in a little shop. it cost 50 RMB which is less than 10 dollars. unfortunately i bit my nails off this week cause of all the stress so i just got pink polish. then we ate at a restaurant called little sheep. it is a hotpot restaurant which is kind of like the entree course of fondue except without the little skewers. there is broth in a hotpot and you dump your meat and veggies that you order into it and let them cook. we had lamb, beef, shrimp, and some veggies. the shrimp came whole (including eyes) ahh!! but it was all delicious. on the way out they handed us some kettle corn which was a surprise. today was a good food day :)
i found out where the ping pong tables are today so i need to go buy paddles at walmart and start learning! sean said he wanted to set up a ladder (ranking system) for the RIPS group. hopefully i'll make it to the top half of the ladder.
we are planning on visiting the forbidden city on saturday and maybe the pearl market too. who knows what we will end up doing tomorrow night... with this group, probably singing kareoke at some bar :)
