Tea House and Mahjong

Hello I hope everyone is doing well I just have few things that would like to share with everyone about my week. Although it was not as crazy as last week I still had a great time usual. It started on Friday afternoon after school got out it was a rare sunny day in Chengdu. So myself and 3 of my friends decided to go to the park to hang out at play some mahjong. So we went to a really beautiful park next to the river that goes through the city. It was 130 PM on a Friday and the tea house where we stopped to play mahjong, was packed. I could not believe it this is a very laid back city people definitely move at there own pace. I have figured out that in China you either work 12-16 hours a day or 3-5. I am not for sure that a real 9-5 job exists here. There is a huge gap between the have and the have nots. You can see it on the streets people are either driving a BMW, Audi, Mercedes or bycycle or the bus. Anyway we ended up playing mahjong and drinking tea at the park for five hours. It is an excellent way to waste an afternoon. Every so often we would have Chinese looking over our shoulders trying to help us. The enjoyed watching the foreigners try and figure the complicated game of strategy it really was a lot of fun. If you have never played mahjong I would suggest you learn it is just as much fun as cards or dominos.
