I'm going to struggle describing this, but bear with me. I arrived in Ningbo this afternoon and spent the day checking the town out. It is a really pretty city, by the way. Anyways, on my post dinner walk I ended up at a park/community square. It is kind of like a combination between Green Lake and the Seattle Center (for those familiar). There, I came across a group of about 50 say 45-65 year old women doing some kind of Thai-Chi / Aerobics / Electric Slide routine in unison to Chinese techno-music blasting from a boom box. I decided to get a bit closer and try to snap a photo. (Obviously I couldn't get the settings all squared up and the photo looks like crap) Then, when I walked up into the park a bit more, I noticed another techno song blasting. I'll be damned it was another Thai-Chi/Aerobics/Electric Slide crew. The only thing that separated them from the first was the routine, the direction they were facing, and the song they were jamming to. I started looking around some more and found a third crew. They all seemed friendly enough and I don't know why they don't all just combine into one large outdoor line dancing monopoly.
I continued on and when I passed by on my way back to the hotel, they were going still going strong. This would have made a perfect video. I was just too much in awe to remember.
