It was a laid back May Day Holidays for the past 5 days.
Waking up late, having good meals, cooking up home-cooked food, meeting up with friends, shopping … basically that was it … EXCEPT for a little misadventure …
Went to Carefour last Friday to get a bicycle. We had thought about it for a bit and wanted to get a bicycle so that we could cycle around Shanghai in the great weather. Picked a bicycle that was tall enough so that a passenger could ride behind. Picked out a nice basket to fit in front.
We decided to cycle back from Zhong Shan, which wasn’t too far from our house … mid-way … fionna’s slippers got caught in the back wheel and at the same time scrapped off the skin of her right leg … it was terrible, because we were no where near home and it was a dark back alley. We waited for a cab so that fionna could get home. The taxi did not allow the bicycle on, so fionna went ahead first to the hospital to get her wound cleaned. I cycled on behind and reached the hospital as well.
The guards at the hospital did not allow me to bring my bike into the compound, said I had to leave it outside. However, the new bike’s lock was with Fionna. So, I ran in to get the lock and dashed out to lock the bike. Little did I know that I had locked the wrong bike. When we were done at the hospital and went out to get the bike, I realized that I had locked the wrong bicycle and that my bike was no longer there. 
Apparently, in few minutes that I ran in to get the lock, the bicycle was stolen … sighs … bike was stolen within an hour of purchase … Welcome to China! 
Anyway, the holiday is kind of over and it was a good break, though I am getting a slight cough which is quite irritating. Hope to get well soon .. no more break till Oct …
Ok, hope you all have fun too.
