DAY 23

Yeryer, get to skip 4 days cos I have no photos for those days :3. I'll get to the end of these soon haha (I was gonna say I'm 'getting there' but I didn't want to sound like I was trying to make another QCS joke).

Today we went to a bike riding place! It's kinda like each business owns a set of bikes and if you decide to use their bikes, it is expected that once you finish riding on the bike route and you go back to return your bike, you go to eat at their restaurant since they loan you their bikes for free (I think ..)

I have a story about these bikes so remember this! XD Actually, it's not a good story so I shouldn't be XDing.

The red and green bikes are a bit smaller. For women apparently.

We were so so lucky because for the past few days, the weather was so gloomy and cold because it's currently winter in China, but the day we went to bike riding, we couldn't have asked for more perfect weather.

They had little markets every now and then so you can stop and rest. This is wear my 'story' comes in lol ><. Can't actually bike ride (I was never taught) and since I'm pretty sure everyone in China can because it's a common means of transport, they all thought I was some weirdo for being so old and still not being able to. So after learning for a while (the whole time I was riding those two people bikes with my uncle btw), I decided to mess around and get on those carriage looking bikes (go back to that pic LOL) with my dad and asdf the moment I got on, he steered it right hoping to avoid this small as hole in the ground, and since he steered I automatically had to follow .. Might've sounded smart to avoid the hole, but he didn't even think ahead about where steering it right went to T.T Ended up like breaking someone's cane fence to a farm or something (literally) and immediately ripped a hole in my stocking. I swear up to a certain point in my trip, I was using a pair of stockings a day .. Using up all the ones I planned to stock up for since Australia sells stockings for so expensive ..

Before .. And a lil after. It got worse the next day .. At least I got to cover it up with stockings and it didn't bleed ><. Right after bike riding, we went to eat, then went to a shopping mall and the first thing people looked at was my ripped stocking = =\\ I guess it stood out since my stockings were dark and there was a massive hole right there .. The hole kept shredding and getting bigger with time as well (as stockings do once you leave even the smallest hole in it ..) so that was bad.
