The weather is perfect now here in Xiamen, so we took advantage of it to wander through the alleys and over to 中山园 (Zhongshan park) and enjoy watching to locals...
This whole area was filled with people tossing and catching these little balls on their rackets. It was fun to watch, and they are doing it all in this slow rhythmical motion. I think we watched for at least 5 minutes and I only saw one old lady drop a ball, the rest of them were flawless in their routines...
