I’m sad to report that there will be no hip hop dance lessons after all. “We opened the class last week and nobody showed up,” said Mr. He at the fitness club I go to. “You can try 健身操 (fit aerobics) though.” I looked around and struck up a conversation with the only guy in the thronging crowd of middle-aged women. He pointed behind me at a stream of pink tutus that had suddenly burst out of the door. “I’m here to pick up my daughter,” he told me. Oh.
It wouldn’t have been a very practical skill in my 40s anyway, I rationalized to myself on the treadmill.

A camera store in New York does that. It is called bait & switch. Live and learn.
Not that hot these days to go to gym. People in Shekou prefer going for some specific ball sports especially badminton, or outdoor activities such as climbing Da Nan Shan 大南山.
IF JOAN OF ARC CAN DO AEROBICS, SO CAN YOU.
