how I spent the so-called end of the world

       It was a relaxing and luxurious day today. Actually it has been like this since I came to this town.
       First of all, the weather was pretty nice in this winter time--50F. I walked down the street and passed by the Silver City Museum. Then I turned back and walked in. The building is very cute so that you can't really just pass by. The lady was so nice and explained everything to me, even though I was just thinking to walk around by myself at that time. :P Actually, everybody is very nice in this little town.
      After this, I kept walking down the street. Arrived all kind of antique shops. The owner of the first antique shop is an Indian American. How did I know? Just like you know right away which continent I am from when you see me. :P Seem like it is redundant too explain. I have to say sorry though because I was scared when I saw the owner. I guess he was the first Indian American I saw. Not stereotype.
      Then I walked around the other antique shops. The first time I went to the antique shops was two years ago. I was very excited and amazed how expensive and how cheap things could be. There are not many antique shops in Shenzhen where I am from. Everything is NEW, NEW, NEW. They can tear down one building and build another one in one month. Crazy.
      Done with antique shopping, I went to the coffee shop called JavaLina Coffee House. I guess it is the biggest coffee shop in town. When I walked into the shop, I was surprised that there were many young people inside and they watched me like I was an alien...Well, I am though. "Alien" can be described as "foreigner", I suppose? Anyway, I got my caramel latte and sat with my book. It was a lovely time. Life of Pi made me giggle a lot. Like the expressions.
     Later on, before all the shops close or the town kind of shut down, I left the coffee shop reluctantly. BUT! I had a great time walking around the galleries and shops! They kept me busy looking. It was my second time to walk into some shops. I guess they owners will recognize me when I walk in the third time..."that not buying but looking at everything Asian girl." :P
     About 5p.m., twilight fell. Walked back home in 5 minutes. Yes, it is THAT convenient! Sounds like an awesome day, doesn't it? Come and spend time here! :)
     Never be tired of walking around here because you can always find something new and delight your day. (Woahaha...should I be Silver City commercial lady?) They should think about it. :P
