Nothing exciting today, just some shopping and some lunch. 'Hot Pot, as you can see in this stock photo (I didn't bring my camera today). I swear this is 100% true. The sales-people were amazed by my haggling skills. One even said that I was the best foreign haggler they ever saw. You know me, I'm a ham. I used all kinds of ways of making a fool out of myself to get the price down. Sometimes the sales-person and I couldn't help but laugh. It was exhausting, but fun. Although, I think they got the last laugh. I bought four shirts, all 18 1/2 neck size (lately I've been really working out my deltoids, or was it my altoids?) but only one of the shirts actually fit! Geez, 10 bucks down the drain!
I just hired Catherine for four days. I'll miss her. It was nice to be around a woman again, Diego Garcia doesn't exactly have a swinging singles scene, and she did make small things like taxis and food some much easier. Thursday is a free day, I leave China on Friday. In Singapore for a night, and then off to Korea for some soju and kimchi!
Maybe tomorrow I'll visit Mao's tomb if the queue isn't too long. I've been meaning to visit the night market, and hit some bars. Although, I brought one of my computer games with me, my elf has a +10 vorpal sword! Decisions, decisions!
