For it being a Saturday, today was pretty uneventful. We started off our morning watching the dubs game, which ended in a one point loss. Ah, the frustration! By the time the game was over it was lunch time. We went and grabbed Burmese curry noodle soup from restaurant number nine. It had been a while since we had been there; I forgot how delicious it was. After lunch we decided to look for dress shoes for teaching. We walked towards school, in search of a place that Nick told us he found shoes for a reasonable price. Our walk took us into a part of town that we had never been. It looked as though we stumbled across China town,Since most of the writing and decor were in Chinese. We walked into many different stores to compare prices and styles. The most difficult part was finding shoes that fit us. Most of the shoes we tried on were too small, or way over priced. All of the stores had one thing in common; cranky workers. I wasnt sure if they hated their job, didnt like white people,or were having a bad day, but none of them seemed happy. After the sixth shoe store,we were able to find a pair of black slip on flats for me, and slip on dress shoes for Ryan. Before we knew it, it was four o clock.We had plans to play with our basketball group at five, so we booked it home and changed into our gear. There were about 8 people who showed up, some old and some new. We played full court games for a couple of hours. Afterwards, we grabbed fried rice for dinner and then went home, where we spent the rest of our night researching islands to visit for our trip.
