I just got back from two days in Yangzhou where we climbed a 9 floor Buddhist temple, saw a ton of monks, and I got sunburn. Also found the majority of my gifts/souvenirs today so I can check that one off the to-do list.
We played video games and watched a movie- the basketball hoops were the most popular in the arcade and had people crowding them constantly. Basketball is HUGE here. At the movies, you have to choose a seat in the theater and you get a ticket with your specific chair number. There's also a menu at the movies where you can order restaurant-style desserts, snacks, and meals while you watch the movie.
We also visited a wholesale stuffed animal place. Imagine a huge mall with 3 floors and hundreds of shops, but each shop is full of stuffed animals and stuffed animals alone. There were thousands. This kind of place people buy them for bottom-prices and resell them on websites like Amazon, etc.
Today we're going out for "western" food (西餐) and then watching yet another movie with friends, so I'll report back on how that goes.
Whoever's reading this, please remember to stay safe and eat all of your rice.
