This day was spent souvenir shopping. Rather dull--but we had fun with it. Laina wanted a bracelet, Min wanted a silk scarf, and Jorg and I just wanted to walk around. We went to a shopping district that was a replica of an old street, and was interesting just to walk around. We stopped in a little stall to have some spicy noodles and some "soup dumplings" (Xiao long bao) and also had some coconut juice for dessert.
After nap Min, Jorg and I walked down to the lake and enjoyed the lights of the city.
THE CAT STORY
The hotel we're staying at has a kitten that lives in the courtyard. He's a friendly kitten, and enjoys the attention of guests and plays around, catching bugs and chasing unseen things. At night, Min and I were sitting outside just enjoying the evening and a couple of ladies passed by. They noticed the kitten and Min said that one lady said to the other lady, "Look, that kitten is cute". And the other lady said, "Yes, it will taste good". The first lady said, "You should just take it". So the lady scooped the kitten up and started walking away with it. At this time, I went to the desk man and told him that a woman took the kitten. The desk man ran out of the office, out of the courtyard and chased down the two women and retrieved the kitten. I told him what the women said, that the kitten would taste good...and he didn't believe me.
