Tian Ma

We took a bus to Temple City, a major shopping area in Shanghai. There wasn't much L. and I were interested in looking for (since we could get it in GZ), so we bought some Starbucks and stayed at the food court. We went home for a short rest before heading out to Uncle G's country club. The club is quite a swanky, high-class facility, rivaling anything you'd find in the States, even better than most, probably (not that we've been to many). But it's amazing to have a relative who is privy to all this. Some of us went swimming, others played tennis, or went on walks, L. and I, with a few others went to the driving range and hit some golf balls. It was a bit breezy and cold, so we headed back to the clubhouse pretty soon. I dressed to go swimming later, but everyone was gone, so I soaked myself in the hot tub for a few minutes. After activities, we joined Uncle G. for dinner, where we were entertained with stories about his sons and his life in general.
