Went Shopping 19.06.11

Busy day. Went to morning Market, cool morning but so many people on one street including cars and bikes trying to squeeze past each other. Bought duck, pancakes and the best BaoZi I have had in 4 years. Also bought Leon some goldfish and some metal chopsticks. I heard there is a new ruling here that says they cant keep large dogs in apartments effectively ruling out most Chinese in the city, that said they had lots of small dogs, Pomeranians, Tibetan Spaniels and poodles all seem to be popular in total contrast to 2 years ago when most people were seen walking large northren breeds like Samoyed's and huskies. Later went to see DanDan's Da Jiu. He is 81 years old and everyone is worried about his health. The Government are knocking down his home in order to build a subway system, He will be compensated but the family dont think he will be around to see it. We took the bus to Tesco, its a big place. We headed to the 2nd floor as I remembered there was a Japanese tie ban place. Got Leon a Basket ball but unfortunately the pet selection was poor (I am looking for a "Cheap" good leather lead for Titan my Malamute). Today was the warmest so far at 32 degrees. Leon got some glass stuck in his finger, I pulled it out but he didnt cry even though there was a lot of blood. Put plaster on it. Took him outside to play basketball. A lot of Children wanted to get close to the foreign child, but once they did could not think of what to do or say. I had to put on my best act to look like I knew what I was doing as alot of Chinese assume LaoWai should be good at Basketball. It was already dark and DanDan wanted to find a night market she had heard about, we didnt find it but did stop in to a place and ordered some YangRou Chuan er(Lamb Skewers) to take way.
