Fotball

Sooo where did i leave it last time?

Oh yeah i went to a fotball game and saw Gamba Osaka take on Công An Hà Nội in the asian champions league! And really good timing i did it because there is the international break now, so not much fotball being played localy.

And it was great atmosphere, the crowd sang the whole 90 minutes which was fun. They didn't react much to what was happening on the pitch though since they were to busy singing. So that was a bit weird.

But that was the last of my trip to japan. After that I took the flight over to Chengdu! So that is my current location. Since time goes by so fast and there is a lot happening it still feels like I'm always trying to catch up.

But first impressions of China is that it's a lot of things to sort out with your phone. You need lots of different apps because they have their own local apps for everything. The second problem is my E-sim I'm using, it's not working that well in China. It's very slow with the Chinese apps. So everything is very slow. And since most things are digital in china it's very annoying, even buying something from a small shop requires paying with alipay or wechat and with a slow connection it can take some time and sometimes it doesn't even want to connect properly. I could buy a local sim card and use that and it would probably go easier. We will see maybe I will give up and do that, so far I have been doing fine it's just a luxury problem the speed.

So far in Chengdu I have been trying some local food and I can say they really love their chili oil in this region. I tried some different dishes and many of them were drowned in chili oil. Maybe it's as simple as you take what you have and here it's noodles, oil and chili. So that is what people eat here. Surprisingly little rice dishes and mostly miànshí (wheat based foods) as they say here in China.

Also went out on a pubcrawl with some random westerners. Which was fun, to see the nightlife of China. It was very simular to other parts of southeast asia I've been to. It's lot's of standing tables instead of a dance floor and then people just stand around drinking, but hard to mingle or meet new people since you have your table your assigned and the music is to loud to interact with other people. So you are left with two options, drinking or smoking. So very different then europan nightlife.

I guess that's it for now, I will try to be quicker with the updates. Feels like i say that everytime, but this time I mean it!
