A Rough Day in Chengdu

Indian Food and reading at the Yummy Indian Restaurant down Renming Road ($5 for both of us). Foot massage (a.k.a. 2 hour full body massage with an emphasis on the feet) while watching a movie (less than $9). Shopping… I had to buy another pair of earrings ($2). Amy has not been good at holding me back even though I tell her that it is her job. I think I need a quota! Veggie Pita and Minty-Mint milk shake at Peter’s Tex-Mex for dinner ($4)! Pretty good day! Almost perfect. I think I can get used to Chengdu.

Disclaimer: This is not what I would consider a normal day for us but then what is normal here? This serves two purposes… for you to be completely jealous of Amy and me and a consolation price for the 100 year old egg that Amy ate a few weeks ago. We may have exacerbated the consolation prices for that but I think they are all worth it! For all of those green with jealously we do have to work the rest of the week. The graduate students are in the middle of studying for their exams now and are otherwise diverted so we had this day to do a little “Chengdu…ing”. You enjoy your 4^th of July!! Think of me while you’re watching the fireworks and I will get some watermelon and think of you!
