Easter Sunday

After a great day on Saturday of watching Godzilla vs. Kong, eating unbelievable fish, and then enjoying a massage, Jack and I planned our next day.

We ate dim sum with friends and I colored hard boiled eggs to give to them.

After dim sum, we went to check out the alpaca Cafe but first found the comic city at the entrance to the metro.

The alpaca Cafe was pretty fun. It was an open air room between buildings with a few smaller covered rooms for the cats, pigs, and bunnies. It was fun to see children excited about the animals.

This Cafe across the alley has Shiba Inu dogs. I’m surprised that there are dog cafes.
This other cafe across the alley has an alpaca as well but it seems to just make some extra money.

We traveled to haizhu district to find the DragonBoat training center. We met a few members at a going away party for my friend Maiko who was headed back to Japan. We learned how to paddle correctly which is much like what you do stand up paddle boarding. If you do it wrong then your arm hurts and you Ajay get schooled. We did drills including two at a time paddling the whole boat. It was quite the workout.

The village deals in bolts of fabric and also small scale sewing of clothing.

The old villages have shorter buildings with evidence of older brick and styling. They look forward to development as they receive multiple apartments for an income.

I had tried going there the week before by myself but was not able to follow the directions to get there without being late. Instead of just going home I walked around haizhu lake instead.
