A Birthday Party



So today was Lindsey's birthday. It was a really fun day!! It has actully warmed up here a little bit which has been a complete blessing. It was the perfect day to be able to go get some bikes!! We've been planning on getting bikes since we got here but I guess we just weren't motivated until now. We found this cute little ghetto shop and totally cleaned the place out with the six of us. The bikes are well.... kinda like the shop. Cute little ghetto bikes :) The man we bought them from put them together right before our eyes. He even used his own spit to get things to stick together :) Although I thought his skills were really impressive we've had three pedals already break off by the end of today. Now instead of watching the insane traffic we get to be apart of it! We feel a lot more Chinese.
We went to an Italian place for the Birthday dinner. It was really fantastic. Jadie and I picked up a birthday cake and put it on the back of Jadie's bike to bring it to the restaurant. She looked just like a cute little delivery girl :) She was a really good delivery girl until she took a spill off the curb sending herself and the cake into a wonderful heap on the ground. Poor Jadie.... and cake. We pushed the cake back together though, all is right with the world again. There's nothing like celebrating a birthday in China! It was a really fun day...
