You see adults playing games here more often than the children. The kids in China have it very, very rough. They are in school or have other responsibilities literally from 6am til 10pm sometimes. They warned us that our biggest problem with misbehavior would be students trying to do another classes homework in your class because they just have so darn much of it! (Thank goodness they don't expect foreign teachers to ever assign homework; I'd just feel terrible adding to that load)
Anyway, people are always playing badminton or card games or whatever this sport is. I kept calling it hacky-sack, but it's obviously not a real hacky-sack. Meh. Whatever. Also, oddly enough, this picture was taken in the Summer Palace. They paid 10 yuan to get in here, and then all they do is play this game? Weird... but there were several groups doing it. And yes, the white guy(s) in this picture are people from our group who joined in. The Chinese people LOVE it!
