So today was our first day on our own without plans. We could do whatever we want.
Tonight for dinner I talked to Amanda and Curtis on Facebook. We decided to walk across the street to some Pizza and Sandwich place that I never even noticed. It was amazing.
When we walked in we noticed an all Chinese menu on the board. We instantly thought we were in for a traditional Chinese restaurant. When we looked at the menu, it took us by surprise when we saw that it was all in English. We finally found the first American diner.
We ordered typical American cuisine. You know, pizza, a BLT, a cappuccino, and a root beer float. What's to go wrong? It was awesome and they even gave is some weird hot lemon flavored water. I am so going back there. It was cheap compared to the states, but expensive when comapred to market food. The 3 of us (Curtis, Amanda, and I) ordered enough for 4 people and it only came out to less than 150 RMB. You gotta love China. TIC!
After that, we got ready and met in Eric/Sam's room. We then hopped in a taxi and went to the miniBull's dance club. That was insane. We danced, drank, and danced some more. We met a lot of cool people and even some kid that studied in France for 6 years. Tianjin is full of people of all origins and nationality. After that we came home and went to our rooms. This place is awesome and seems almost essential to be able to speak Mandarin. If you know the language, you instantly have an 'in' with the local community.
