As I left the venue last night I decided to come back the next to watch the basketball finals between USA and China.
I got a phone call this morning from Olina inviting me to have lunch with her and her husband.
I was a bit irritated and confused now because that meant I would have to skip the basketball game this afternoon.
But I have learnt that it would be absolutely disrespectful to decline such a gesture.
So I agreed to having lunch with Olina and her husband and rather skip lunch. Besides, I had already watched a number of basketball games involving the Americans and I was much confident they were going to win.
This lunch rendezvous turned out to be an excellent idea because we went to a pretty nice chinese restaurant in a typical chinese neighborhood.
We had what is known as "steaming pot", a huge boiling pot in the middle of the table with assorted types of meat and vegetables. I personally thought this was one of the most delicious meals I have ever had.
Later in the evening, I met with some of the guys with whom I now had excellent relations. One of them, Alex Foing - a french dude, was having his birthday so we all went out to the famous Sanlitun bar area to celebrate with him.
