Hot Pot

Today was a rather quiet Sunday. I mostly stayed in my room during the morning to practice writing Chinese and read through our lesson a bit. Last night I planned to take a little nap but ended up sleeping through the night. This was a refreshment I much needed, as the last few days have been filled with much activity and going to bed quite late. I mostly also avoided going outside today because it was so hot: 33 degrees and scorching sunshine. This is still nicer than snow though, at least for now :D
This afternoon I ventured out with my bike to the campus mini-mart to buy a Chinese-English dictionary as I did not bring the one I have at home, and realized I needed one now. I also bought some water (drinking the water from the taps is not recommended). I neatly placed my purchases in the basked of my bike at wove through the traffic back to the hotel.
For supper a group of us went out on the hunt for a restaurant that serves 火锅 (huoguo) which means Hot pot. This is a meal where a bot of water with seasonings and vegetable is put over a fire and brought to a boil and then meat of all sorts can be added to it and then it cooks and you eat it. It was really good. This is the picture for today.
