Slept in today. Woke up at 10:00 am. It felt nice to sleep in. We went to the China Motel today to meet with David Hunt and another David to go to the Electronics area of the city to buy some things. WOW. There were at least 10 buildings with 5 or more floors of every kind of electronics you can think of. Computers, laptops, IPhones, IPods, Memory cards, PS3, Wii, EVERYTHING. Most of them were fake also. Amazing. I got a 32GB fake Ipod Nano for $15. It looks like an Ipod, but does not exactly work like one.
Tonight Chuck and I went to dinner at The Greenery or something like that down fro our hotel. We order the Western Set Meal. Set Meals are common in China at restaurants. It is like a combo, which includes a soup, salad, meal, desert and a drink. We had so much food, and it all cam out a once. It was all good, but I have had better steak. However, the funnest thing I have ever seen happened when Chuck went to pay. Chuck and I have been alternating paying for means, so tonight was his turn. He gave the waitress his Diners Club card and she returned with the receipt for him to sign. He signed it and she left then returned with another receipt for him to sign. He signed it again and she left again all this time keeping his card. Another person...a manager...returned with yet another receipt for chuck to sign. At this point, we were confused and I am laughing and she told him that his signature on the receipt did not match the one on the card, or at least we figured out that was what she was saying, because she was talking chineese. At this point, I start laughing uncontrollably, because...Chuck had written "Ask For ID" on the signature part of his card and that is what they were looking for him to sign on the receipt. So he did, and they took the third receipt and then came back...We were both laughing hysterically, and the manager asked if his name was "Ask For ID" and Chuck...aka..."Ask For ID"...said yes, and they gave him his card back and we left laughing so hard we were crying...It was so funny. I am laughing so hard right now, I can barely type this...
