Everybody loves Kung-Fu fighting.

'English Corner' is a very popular event here in China. It's a multicultural gathering that takes place at various designated venues throughout the city. Chinese people attend to practice English, Westerners attend to help them learn. It's really fun. Yesterday I went.

After English Corner a bunch of us went to some Chinese/Muslim restaurant that was a part of a strip-mall. JP and I parked our bicycles just outside of the restaurant, on the strip. By the time we finished our meal, it was dark out, and we all decided to visit a neighboring DVD shop (Where every DVD is the equivalent to $1.20 CAD). When we came out of the DVD shop, our bicycles were gone. Bummer.

We walked the strip once over before realizing that the owner of the restaurant we dined at had taken them inside his long-closed business. He was simply standing by them making sure they would not be taken, waiting for us to return.

The kindness and consideration of these people is neat.
