Comments:
A couple of kids saw me doing strides in the dried out concrete bed of the "lake" at the park and started following me around. We had a primitive conversation and I was able to tell them a little bit about my family. Talking to them reminded me how much my Chinese sucks though, as a lot of our chat consisted of the one boy saying something and then me just shaking my head and saying "wo bu dong" (I don't understand). Between their improv sign language and my sketchy Chinglish grammar we were almost successful in starting a three-man race. Almost.
