Day #7
I am still craving for a meal, but not starving.......plenty of snacks and coffee. I think coffee suppresses the hunger in you. Instant coffee is the best. I sit in the office at the rink, and dream of my cup of Dunkin Dognuts in my hand.
Anyways it could be much worse. Myself andthe people are still smiling. Leann's English is getting so much better. Of course it is, she is hanging with me.
We went to the tigers yesterday. I was too cold to purchase a live cow, so all we could get it the dead meat. It was so neat to see so many tigers in one spot. The thought of buying a real live animal and having those tigers tear it to shreds is a bit disturbing. It is China, just smile and nod.
Now lets talk about the taxi ride last night. I wanted to stay a bit longer at the hotel before going to the mens rink. So Stacey thought it would be a good idea to get a taxi to the rink. Hmm lets think, taxi +China.........no so good idea, (that is what Leann would say). So an hr later and a phone call later. I arrived at the right rink. 1 hr drive cost 31 RMB's, like $4.00 US. The poor man was so embarrassed to ask for that amount, but I gave it to him with tip....no tip but did anyways......and left with a smile, when all I wanted to do was scream. 1 hr Taxi ride in China compares to me sitting a Mary Kay Party at Dee's house.........love ya girl. So that is all from here. 1 more game tonight...............then plywood bed here I come.
