Bench day

Today I bought myself a tennis racket. It took about an hour to find the store, I hope it doesn't break! After, I went to sit on the bench by the river to relax and read my book. As I was reading my book a guy stopped and kept staring at me, so I pretended like I didn't notice. About an hour later he came again and did the same thing! This time he actually came up to me and started speaking Chinese. Luckily I had perfected my "I don't speak Chinese" (in Chinese) so he got the point. Then a second later he whipped out English, I was pretty amazed. After a while he said he would teach me Chinese and I agreed (this brings my conversation partner count up to 4). I took out my books and we started practicing. Every time I would try to speak he would constantly giggle and say "Oh my God." But not in the mean way, like an "OMG" but instead in a super-border line gay accent, followed by a string of "teehehehe"s. It was very amusing, even though it was because he found my pronunciation so funny. Afterward, he asked for an English name, so I named him Leo. He is the first friend I have ever got to name!

At night I was supposed to play tennis but I got lost. On the way home, after walking for 2 hours I found the courts, and the people I was supposed to play with were just finishing up. Atleast I found them!
