After a hearty meal of Korean BBQ, we sauntered over to the teahouse to check out the English Corner crowd. We have not been there since before Christmas (actually, maybe since Thanksgiving) so we were unsure what to expect.
We saw a lone foreigner, standing in the darkened square. It was Glen, one of the main participants and fellow science teacher. We stayed and chatted with Glen for awhile while we waited for any Chinese friends to come. Alas, it seems that now is already break time for the college students and so most are gone. In the end, another American, one Thai, and 2 Chinese came - but we never ventured in to the teahouse. Let's hope things rebound in the spring.
Today we are going downtown with the Brewers to the main Chengdu shopping area to have lunch and spend the afternoon. We will probably eat at Swensen's, an American restaurant/ice cream chain. We have never been - I hope it is good!
