After the games we went to the local market for whatever you can imagine. Bought some shoes, gifts, etc. then stopped off so a couple of the girls could get their hair cut and nails done. The coaching staff occupied ourselves with foot massages conveniently run next door to the hair salon and run by the same people. Felt great, I could probably use one of those a week.
On the way to the market we drive by the CCTV buildings, so cool to see.
Night ended with a team trip to McDonald's to try to get some normal food after a week of Chinese hotel food. Thank heavens for French fries and mcnuggets.
Headed home in the morning. Back to the real world.
Thumbs up Beijing, it's been real.
