This morning I slept in. It felt great. Chuck and I went walking around and bought some souvenirs, and ate lunch down by the Pearl River. We also went to a different electronics district which seemed to have more "real" stuff. Although there were hundreds or booths with cell phone parts. I believe I have found the location where all of the cell phone and computer parts come from on e-bay.
Since we got here, we have been trying to find a bike that had the most stuff on it. We have seen a lot of stuff on bikes, but I think we found the winner today. We also watched some guy catch a huge catfish from the river. See pictures below.
For dinner we decided to take the subway, a method of transportation we had not tried yet, to a different part of the city to eat dinner. Since we both came back from our souvenir expedition and took a nap, we got a late start. We found out that the subway is the cleanest part of the city. It was not dirty at all and did not smell bad. We ate at a Japanese restaurant. It was pretty good. I had sushi and chuck had beef noodles. After dinner we came back to the hotel. I went to bed because I had plans to wake up at 4:30am and watch the Alabama/LSU game on the computer. When I awoke, I found out that you cannot view it from China. Isn't censorship great? However, I would the radio broadcast on the Internet and watched a graphical version of the plays on cbssportsline. Great game, especially since Bama won in OT! WOO HOO! Oh yea, and UT lost to Wyoming. HA HA! All in all a great football day!!! I then went back to sleep and woke up at 11:30.
