When we left Hotel Flowers we went to a small town full of little market shops with cobblestone roads. I easily get carried away in these shops. One old man could speak some English and told me he would be a translator...I ended up chatting with him for quite some time and missed the group going to make pottery in one of the shops. Bad move- there was no way I was going to be able to figure out where they went. Thankfully, Charlie came back for me...what a relief! I am learning quickly that time is of the essence. Be on time or you don't go. Pottery making was a great time; this is something I have wanted to do since I was younger. The actual spinning of the clay is the best part. The wet clay is so malleable and morphed quickly. The men that worked at the shop were very helpful to us and got our clay formations started, and fixed them when we destroyed them. "Slowly, Slowly" the guy told me. Charlie wrote out the Chinese symbols for LONGEVITY and that is what my pottery lesson was for me- an insight to maintaining myself and to continually grow through new experiences. I carved those letters & picked a blue/green fade for the color.
When we got to "Great Roots" spa and hot springs, we put on the swim caps provided and jumped in. All the pools had different temperatures/concepts. One pool was oxygenated water, one salt water, some were massage jets and spouts, as well as freezing cold pools that pictured ice cubes on the display sign. SUPER RELAXING. So much for business trip, right? I had a good conversation with Josh about getting an MBA, graduate schools, work experience, etc. I am at the point where it is time to make a decision, either take the GMAT and apply for graduate schools or prepare for interviews and start job searching...hmm...he has given me a good feel of Appalachian's MBA program and what it offers.
Back to LISHE to select our 10 pictures for our picture book. Once again, the ladies working are sweet as can be and seem to like Charlie- (he has excellent connections).
Evening Shopping: Sally bought a digital camera for 3500NT = $107.ooUSD a screaming deal. Maybe I should check out some laptop prices?
We took the MRT alone today and we managed well. I was really pleased with our ability to catch on and get the hang of it.
