Bubble Tea, back massages, and dinner on the town! Allie asked me what my favorite part of Beijing was, and I didn’t hesitate to answer…Girls night. The husbands all went to play basketball so we took it upon ourselves to have a night of relaxation and fun. It began with dinner in a little hole in the wall place across the street. It consists of about 4 tables and that’s about it. We piled and and began signing and using the little mandarin we know to order our food. We ended up getting soup instead of noodles, and eggs instead of chicken….but oh well! As we waited for our food we began making friends with our waiter, a 5 year old boy with a yellow yo-yo. We eventually got him to take a few pictures of us! After enjoying whatever food we ordered we headed to a massage parlor. If you have never had a back massage from a Chinese person, I would suggest putting that on your bucket list. It was wonderful! We ended the night with some accountability and bubble teas or smoothies.
I think the part I liked most, is probably tied with the massage, is the fact that I was without Jeremy. I didn’t have him there talking for me or making sure I didn’t order eggs instead of chicken ;) I was on my own experiencing the culture like everyone else. I loved it! It was fun trying to understand and make mistakes along side of everyone else! Don’t get me wrong, I love having Jeremy there to help, but being able to survive on my own was a good experience!
