So I've been noticing every morning on the way to work that at quarter to 7 everyday, North Korea sings. Weird songs. Like I don't know if they have a massive PA that projects music or if they are all actually singing but it's pretty red if u know what I mean. I feel like I got thrown back into the Soviet Union or at least that I need to heil on the way to work....but not really.
Work was same old, a whole lot of cooling my heals in the 95 degrees with humidity. 😊 All in all, not too bad. After lunch, Dir. Ai took me to A.D. Fitness Club which is also owned by the company, big surprise there. I have a pass here too apparently and get to hang out with people my age so I can better master the spoken language and have a good time whilst getting into shape. Tried my first spinning class and it kicked my....well, you know. That afternoon I went to Tesco (one of two here, I know surprising! Plus, they're getting a Wal-Mart in the next 6 months). They also have 3 KFC, a McDonald's and a Pizza Hut. Dandong is getting on the map! Today was a lot of trekking as always but pretty fun. I found out after my workout that I do work on Saturday mornings. Yay Asia. I will be there bright and early for whatever they have planned. Woot.
