Went to 稻香村 and bought four different types… 46 RMB! -traditional -Yunan style - leg moon cake?? -Guangdong style - sesame -Guangdong style - sugar sesame Gym this morning, got the Chinese done while walking on the treadmill. Did some kettle bell carries, then threw out my back trying to loft 2x24kg kbells over my head. Oops. Did some shoulder presses with the bar and finishing arms.
