Taiyuan day three

The people I met yesterday seemed nice and were keen to take me out again and show me around a bit, we walked a bit and then went to a very tasty place for hotpot, they first got a huge catfish and cooked that in some soup, which was very tasty with a peanut dip, and then they brought lots of vegetables to add to the soup, but we were all already stuffed full from the tasty fish! 
After a bit more walk in got seriously cold again so they invited me to go to the cinema to see a film again, about Jackie chan recovering stolen treasures from other countries! Very.... Patriotic, haha, and typically Chinese.... 
After the film we went back to the bar again for a few drinks but I made my excuses a bit early and let, the bar was very studenty, with silly games and prizes and a girl walking around dressed in the clothes of a six year old girl carrying a huge teddy bear, I asked why and they explained that you could buy the bear for 30gbp for a girl you liked, or just to show you had lots of money, and some girls would be interested in you... A weird town! They even had a raffle for one bear which was a chance for the guys to prove how much money they had and buy a bear, the same as the ones sold for 30gbp ( and 3gbp outside) but in the raffle it went for 800rmb! 80gbp! Crazy! Ad the people that bought it were a group of guys! They left it sat on a chair in the corner so everyone could see that they had more money than sense...
