hua bing 在冰
Ice Skate.

Last Friday, to celebrate the release of an NI product we went out to celebrate. I had nothing to do with the creation of the product, but I will happily be a part of any celebration! The first stop was at a hot pot restaurant (the subject of a future blog, I am sure) and then to the rink for some hua bing! The rink was outdoors and is a swimming pool in the summer. Interestingly, none of the NI-Shanghai Chinese were familiar with the English word 'Zamboni' - and by the look of the ice that night, the Chinese do not know what one is. I thought this was a most crucial term to add to their vocabularies. Anyway, we had a blast!
