This morning, Hamer and I headed out to watch the Beijing Half Marathon. She was fascinated by the huge crowd of runners, and we stayed until the 8km cut-off point.
Craving lamb offal soup, we went to Xiaoguan Market. Hamer curiously tried my lamb tripe and ended up eating the entire extra portion I had ordered.
At home, I practiced solving the Rubik’s Cube, following a tutorial. Xiaoyan tried to nap beside me while I made clicking sounds—she was not thrilled. Later, she took Hamer to a café with her math homework. They also discovered a massive playground near Side Park—definitely worth a revisit.
I kept practicing the Cube and finally solved it around 3 p.m.—an exciting moment. I continued practicing until I got faster, then watched a Korean drama that was underwhelming but passable. By night, I felt mentally drained and didn’t want to start anything new.
