Things I Never thought I'd do in China...

Something I never expected to pick up in China:

Skateboarding - aren't those kneepads awesome???

But I guess that's what happens when I befriend the owner of a snow and skateboard shop. Tuan is a really cool guy - he's an avid boarder on all turfs - snow, surf, and pavement.

So on Monday I learned how to stand on a skateboard, then how to go straight, then how to turn. I picked up a couple of simple tricks as well - maybe next time I'll learn to grind...

We went out for Korean afterward - not a bad way to spend an evening, huh?
