Gambling


These guys are always gambling outside my apartment. Sometimes, when it gets too cold, they move their game into the entrance of my apartment building and it's impossible to get by them because often there are like 15 of them. They are usually either playing cards or some kind of board game with big wooden puck-things, I think it might be Chinese chess? They get really into it sometimes and it can be very noisy! This one time I wanted to take a picture so bad because this really short, scowling, bad-a$$ old man was playing cards with a cigarette in his mouth and he was just slapping the cards down as hard as he could and speaking in really aggressive Chinese. He reminded me of like Joe Pesci or someone? lol.

I'll have to get a better picture sometime...it just feels rude to get up in their faces and take a picture. That one guy didn't seem to mind though, look at his smile!

Gambling Instruction

I just happened to see an English workbook lying out and looked at the page it was opened to. I can't believe that this is one of the questions they have in their workbooks. The Chinese love to gamble....
