Karaoke and belly dancing in the park

Today was the second time I have been to a park close to my hotel to walk.  Got there about 8:20am and you would have thought it was Saturday instead of Wednesday because the place was full of people!  There were many groups practicing different kinds of dance: ballroom dancing, Tai Chi, Salsa dancing, and yes even Belly dancing!  I saw several places where groups of people had what looked like sheets of music and a music stand like you might have for karaoke.  Was it karaoke?  I don't know.  If not, then how did they become part of the group and what were they practicing and why?  Could I join the belly dancers (I want my own spangles) or the Tai Chi groups? Not enough Chinese yet to ask. I wonder if I will find some of these groups close to my school?

Our group of volunteers are going to climb a mountain this afternoon.  It is our day off and we don't have to do this so I am NOT going!  LOL  They aren't really 'climbing' the mountain, but walking on paved trails up the mountain.  Still, it is supposed to be about an hour and a half walk and it is VERY hot today.  I am not in good enough shape for this so I am going to Wal Mart.  Yes you read correctly.  There are three or four Wal Marts in Changsha!!  Wish I had a camera to take pictures.  Oh well....  I will let you know what it is like.

Until later...
