Shapingba

Yesterday, the Laowai brigade took the bus to the centre of the Shapingba district of Chongqing. For a Wednesday afternoon there were a crazy amount of people just walking around like us. The mall had what seemed like hundreds of tiny clothing and shoe stores. At one point we came across a crowd of people only to realize they were watching a naked man bathing in fountain/waterfall, and then the ensuing capture by firefighters. We then had hotpot for the first time since arriving, which was very tasty and tolerably spicy when the non-spicy pot was ordered. We got a little lost trying to find the bus to take back to the university, but why bother traveling if you aren’t going to get lost once in a while?
