Well, I really wanted that to be an alliterative title, but it's been a long day and I can't think of an appropriate word-starting-with-g to express having a good time shopping with friends. Gregarious at Guanggu? Nah. Oh, I guess I could have just said good times at Guanggu...
Anyhow, due to summer vacation, then bedrest, it had amazingly been three months since I had been to Guanggu, the center of the universe or at least the center of our little neighborhood of it.
After having a 9study in the morning, our group split into two factions based on lunch preference. One group headed to Subway while Micah, Tammy, Jim, Kaila and I were thinking Papa John's. Amy tagged along as far as the bus stop, but decided it was too much trouble to drag around her laptop all afternoon and headed back.
We kept the waitress busy bringing us massive amounts of garlic butter sauce, which we drowned everything in. It's nice to get a fix of American cheese, butter, and bread now and then.
Micah wanted to look for some elusive shirt he persists in thinking he will find here, so Tammy and I followed along, ostensibly to shop as well but really not to miss an opportunity of heckling Micah while he tried to shop. (I'm sure he really values our opinions on his clotthing choices...snort. I say helpful things like "Get the neon orange one!")
Micah's shirt remained elusive, and I ended up being the only one to buy anything. It's rare I find anything in China as I am built very different from the women here, but I found a navy blue sweater with white dots that I am really excited about.
Outside I expressed my enjoyment of being able to go shopping and traipsing around again by taking pictures (really, that's how I celebrate just about anything). I was in a silly mood, but I did make an effort to be normal in one, for Tammy's sake.
