What a Saturday

We were running from place to place to get pampered. Yes. We started
at 10:30am to have a back massage for both followed by haircuts. That
took till 1:30pm. We then head over to another district for lunch at
a place called Slice. It was setup by this famous chef called David
Laris. He setup a nice posh restaurant called Laris on the Bund. I
was there two years ago. Food, as Singaporean would say "OK La".
Translation "OK, so so".

The lunch was too expensive today. We each had a sandwich and a beet,
carrot and ginger juice. The total came to RMB 170. When the
sandwich came for us, it was on a cutting board and with two halves of
a sandwich on rye bread for me and panini for iron-wife. We looked,
stared and then commented "That's it"? Not even a small portion of
salad or condiment. Nothing! With the soon forced appreciation of
RMB by the brother South of the 49th parallel, our sandwich costed CAD
12.00 each! For two pieces of bread. This was an expansive lunch. I
never spent that much money so fast for 5 bits per half of a sandwich.

After the lunch we headed toward home direction for facial. Iron-
wife's Saturday idea. We walked thru a park. It was warm and sunny.
Green space and the smell of fresh cut grass. Wow... I really took it
for granted with that smell at Murray and Tor all those years. Here
are some pictures from the park today. Notice, the green grass.
People were forbidden to walk on it. The park had crews out to
supervisor and whistle at trespassers.

4pm facial. We were sound asleep while our faces were worked on.
7pm, we stepped out in the dark. That was the end of a day.
