A day in the park.

One day I was running and came across a really cool park. There was an all women band playing drums dressed in traditional looking outfits, a camera crew recording the statue in the lake, and a man suspiciously sitting, upon closer inspection I found out that he was flying the highest kite I have ever seen! I didn't know they were meant to go that high! This park was cool to say the least.

Since I basically have 5 day weekends I decided to go and draw something in the park. It was amazing! It was so much fun being able to stare at the statue for a few hours and just draw. I think the ants were biting me though. I think I will buy a lawn chair or some sort of portable chair to sit on next time. And I hope to one day improve my Chinese and muster up the courage to ask the kite man if I can draw him. That would be amazing! I think I found my new Xiamen hangout, I will try to take pics. AND I solved the mystery of how the water is so clean! People go around in motorboats and fish out the litter, I would have never guessed...
