In the afternoon we went to the Pearl Market (Hongqiao Market), where they actually not only sold pearls and jewellery, but also electronic devices. I got hold of a tiny media player / storage (see image) for a decent price.

At 4 pm we went to se the "Rising Force - Art of War fighting championship", an MMA competition which my friend wanted to go to so I joined him. The fights took place in an Olympic venue close to the famous Bird's nest. The top match was between a Chinese guy and a Swedish one actually - and the Swede won! :)   Unfortunately, I have only video recorded from that game, and since I don't seem to be able to add any videos in this blogg I can't post it here.

We made a brave attempt to have lunch close to the Olympic arena. Everything was in Chinese and everything we could recognize was the sign for meat. But it was not much we got and it was not very tasty unfortunately. In the evening I ate bruschetta and pizza (Miro had pasta Carbonara) at Annie's not far from the hotel.
