Hi,
Invited to play paintball, something I never done at home but happily do in China for a social event. I must be mad? The common day off for the EF teachers in Shenzhen kids saw a large majority of us turn into badly dressed modern day "soldiers" (or refugees from Tenko?) on our morning off.
Safety equipment (shirt and trousers, helmet), a belt to mark the above the belt line fatal shot..., a bevy of paintball bullets, two teams set off to do battle.
NanHai Hotel in Shekou, has a game range where corporates do battle with red paint, laugh a lot at each other, develop strategies to win the flag, and at the same time avoid getting shot in the tender parts or the bigger targets (the butt). Cheating abounds amidst the laughter and the cries of I'm out, don't shoot (it hurts!).
Bruises , most of us have a few small welts like bad mosquito bites or decent small bruises (about the size of an Aussie five cent or Chinese 5 jio coin) as souvenirs.
Adjourn to Mc Cawleys for lunch : a pint and a roast pork and gravy sandwich... a debrief, a chat and a follow up visit to the butcher and two supermarkets FULL of western, familiar yummy delicious food. I am so glad I don't live in Shekou ( about 10km bike ride), the pay would go just on familiar food. Captain Morgan Rum was my big find, I needed it when I was down with that bad cold and no voice so it's medicinal of course.
Pate!
