• So when we were atv’ing, unfortunately for roger, his ATV broke down and during that one hour they were trying to fix it, Jason and I rode EVERYWHERE, rode next to sheep, horses, cows, windmills..hahaha. So we got an extra hour in
• ATV is pretty scary especially on Chinese ones. All those ditches are scary, I couldn’t steer for a while and I ended up driving my ATV off the rode and I almost flew off..but then I realized that driving in the grass is wayyyyyy fun
• Went back, got a nice tan. Evelyn and Harold look like raccoons hahahahaha

• Went to YuShow bargain market. Bargained. Stupid ladies.
• Went to Alfa again, the place remodeled a bit and was really nice, but the drinks were pretty expensive though the Mojito and the Apple Amaretto Sour were the best I’ve had here. We bought a bottle of Jack Daniels that came with green tea and fries and fruit and popcorn yayyyyyyyy. Went to Sunlitwer to chill again. Got pretty buzzed.
