Dengsha...", and you curse yourself for not having studied Chinese more.... Now you're talking to a very nervous woman who's obviously been pressed into translation duty; an older relative peers at you from the back. Wait a minute longer. Class is starting soon. OK, now you're facing the... owner? Not sure. You manage to get to Sunday by holding up the seven sign with your hand... OK... but what time? They say they will be open, but... is it just for you? No? Yes, I'll come, but... you are open on Sunday? Now, your class is starting... you look at your watch... Saturday?
