Soccer

We found endless pickup games of Soccer today. The Chinese play very differently than the game I'm use to and focus heavily on making short passes, it's a nice change. It's extremely easy to go to the field and play whenever you want to. In the US I can never find any games so I plan on playing here almost daily.

We went to Xidan yesterday, it was a very cool place but we only had a few hours to spend there. I plan to go back in the next week or so and explore more. It was interesting to see the mixture of a real western like mall next to a market mall. The pollution here is absolutely terrible--at night in the air all around you is extremely hazy and you can easily tell how much pollution there is due to the lights. We're going to Wodaoku tonight--its a foreigner friendly place and it will be interesting to see how different it is from Xidan. Still working on pictures--it's hard to remember to take pictures everywhere but I'm starting to get into the habit.
