I was all excited to tell you all about my awesome weekend in Hangzhou when I looked back through my posts and realized that I never posted about my day-trip into Tianjin before I even returned to the states. Seeing as I don't have a ton of time to write these posts these days, this one and the one about Hangzhou will (hopefully) be mostly visual. Here's a brief recap of my day in Tianjin (that would be the actual city of Tianjin):

I took the light rail, which is about a 10-minute walk from the Sheraton, into Tianjin. Despite Google telling me it would take an hour and a half, it actually took about 50 minutes. This gave me some time to wander before meeting the Beijing and Tianjin Ultimate teams for our round robin (basically a mini tournament where everyone plays everyone). I wandered around Er Gong park before finding Er Gong stadium (where we were playing), which was confusingly NOT in Er Gong park. The park, however, was quite pretty, so I took a bunch of pictures.

Here are two couples on the Ultimate team for comparison. I'll let you decide which couple appears to have more energy (this is before we even started playing).

After the round robin, our teams went to a restaurant together to eat, drink, and be merry. The costume theme (because there is ALWAYS a costume theme at tournaments in Asia for some reason) was "tight 'n bright,"which basically means lots of brightly colored spandex (something I seem to own a lot of).

Post party, I took the train back to Tianjin while the rest of the Beijing team took a party bus back to Beijing. At the time, I was sad to leave them all, but it was definitely worth it to FINALLY get a day to sleep in at the hotel, particularly since I had a free massage awaiting me the following afternoon :D
