Last Saturday

I don’t have any photos of it, but last Saturday we had a staff retreat at Fu Bao, a large indoor water park here in Kunming. Although, it was not the tropical paradise pictured in their advertising, it was a lot of fun. There were a few huge pools, a bunch of smaller hot tubs, a lazy river, a few water slides, and even a small zip line. In addition to water attractions, there were mahjong (Chinese card game) tables, a big resting room (literally a room of recliners to sleep in), and a mini spa of sorts to get massages. We had a great time playing and getting to know the rest of the staff a little better.
We returned home to our most frustrating China first- Eric’s bike was missing from the bike lot at school. Although it was locked up, under video surveillance, only about 20 yards from a security booth, and among about 50 or so other bikes, it apparently was a hot item. It was so frustrating to come home to that.
Having gotten used to how much easier life is with a bike, it was crucial to quickly replace it. Eric purchased a new bike on Sunday and we now double lock our bikes and will do our best to never park in the bike lot on weekends again.
