After the bike ride we went back to Lanhui for a friendship talent show...and the Chinese really showed us up. The only highlights on our side were Tammy singing a song she wrote herself and my ability to use chopsticks (I was the only white guy who could actually put all the little wet ping pong palls into a different tray. The Chinese, on the other hand, had beautiful traditional dancing, instruments and a Peking opera-style performance. The performers and their friends took us all out to Karoke afterward, a multiple story palace of KTV. We rented out two rooms for the entire night, which at the end of the night only ended up costing us 22 kuai each. Note the soccer balls hanging from the ceiling in honor of the world cup. To get up to the Karaoke you go through those elevators to the left of the crowd.
