So today is day 3 and also Chinese valentines day and therefore another reason to
go out. But before the fun begins we had a tour of Hangzhou that I conveniently
overslept for and so instead spent the morning wandering the streets to see if
i could find any hidden gems. I also took this opportunity to go for a run on
the track which was completely empty in the morning. As I soon found out for good
reason, I managed about 4km before almost drowning in my own sweat. Turns out
40°C is a little hotter than I was used to.
This afternoon we had our first Chinese Business Culture class which
turned out to be a lot more just Chinese culture and our teachers life stories
which all in all were fairly interesting.

So after a quick bite to eat, we were on our way out. A pre drinks session
turned very quickly into just a lot of people sweating in a lobby and so soon
after starting we went out to a wine bar the Vineyard. The bar quickly emptied after our
rowdy group arrived perhaps ruining what was perhaps a romantic evening for
some Chinese couples. Shots, cocktails and way too much beer led us back to the
familiar entrance to Coco Banana club, to which we were quickly becoming well
known customers so it seemed as our orders were already known by the staff
after only 2 previous visits.
Wednesday became my day of rest. With a day of Mandarin lessons that
I only just managed to stay awake for, my football session in the afternoon
finished me off. An early night was ideal considering my 7 am start on Thursday
for Tai-ji and Kungfu lessons.
