July 14 – overcast, comfortable.
Breakfast and lunch in the cafeteria. During lunch Julie started choking on a fish bone. I ran and grabbed a trash can because I thought she was going to throw up and it turned out that the trash can smelled so bad Julie gagged and was able to get the fish bone out. Jerry to the rescue! :-)After that we took a walk down the street a little ways just to get some air – all the dragon flies buzzing around were getting to Julie and it was starting to get a little warm so we didn’t go too far.
We went over to the French Concession and had dinner at Simply Thai. We had beef massaman curry and phad thai. Both were good although they messed up the order and we had to ask them for the phad thai which they forgot to give us (the down side of not delivering everything at once). The service was pretty good otherwise. We had mango and sticky rice for dessert. Good but the mango was a little stringy. Walked around the French Concession and Xintiandi a little – it was pretty busy. Movies are really expensive here between $12 and $16 USD. It started feeling more humid as we made our way back to the apartment and called it a night.
Had a little communication trouble with the front desk at the apartment. I am expecting a package and I asked them if they had it and they said “yes”. Then after a couple more minutes, some searching and checking of the computer we finally determined that they did not have the package and that they would send it to the apartment when they got it.
