After a morning of prepping for work and random web surfing, Jodi and I decided to take an outing. First we rode the light rail up to Chifeng Rd and ate dinner at our favorite Tumen BBQ (图门烧烤), a place where you cook your own skewers over open coals: lamb, beef, pork, quail eggs, chicken wings, green peppers, hot dogs, mini-mantou buns, potato and taro root slices...

Then we walked down to Hongkou Football Stadium and bought seventh-row tickets from a scalper for the Shanghai Shenhua vs Atlético de Madrid game. It was the last in a weekend friendly tournament, and Atlético played a strong game to finish 3-0 with a tournament standing of first place.
