Sore from badminton

This past Saturday, I picked up my favorite sport again. I played badminton with friends for about 2 hours. In the process of renting the badminton net, the cashier informed me that I need to return the net before 5pm closing time. I assured him that I would only play for 2 or 3 hours, and the cashier said "The Chinese can play for 20 hours!' Hahahah, that's probably not much of an exaggeration. Speaking of badminton, it amused me and my company that some guys needed to warm up for badminton by hopping around pretending they are actually hitting the shuttlecock. Anyways, I played better than I thought, given that I haven't played for such a long time.

After badminton, I went to check out the Italian Culture Fair with friends. I was impressed by the handbags displayed at the vendor's ( I assume they are imported from Italy). As far as design goes, the handbags are as cool as the ones sold in Nordstrom, but at a much cheaper price. No wonder why people always say Italians possess great tastes for handbag styles. The Saturday night ended with a nice meal @ Ennlee's apartment, where we ate with paper plates so no dish washing required. :) And of course, we watched the women's individual and relay swimming race. The Beijing Olympic games has became my favorite TV program to watch, along with Mad Men, that is.
