The next item on my itinerary was Zhongshan Linear Park. It was about 5.45pm by now and temperatures had cooled considerably. So I thought I\u2019ll walk there. It was about 30 mins away. I was left with 20% batt on my iPhone, so I used my Galaxy Flip to map the route there. My Flip still had 90% juice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But 1\/3 into the journey, my Flip\u2019s main screen suddenly blanked out. The front screen was still working though so I was pretty sure the phone wasn\u2019t dead. But no matter what I did the screen will not come back on and my iPhone now says it is 17% alive. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I had idiotically left my portable charger back in the hotel. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There was no choice then. With the remaining very transient power that my iPhone had, I got an Uber to take me back to the hotel to charge my phone. It was about 6.15pm when I got back. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I haven\u2019t eaten since the fried carrot cake onboard which was 8hrs ago. So I decided to abort the Zhongshan Linear Park plan for now and feed myself first. There was a Family Mart across the street from my hotel so I went there to pick up some food.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This mala luroufan was really quite tasty actually. I couldn\u2019t even tell it was combini food at all. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

And this tasted exactly like the McDonald\u2019s cheeseburger with rice and omelette instead of bun, which made it better in my opinion. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

This strawberry milk tea tasted more like strawberry milk than milk tea. I know it does say 60% milk but it really tasted more like 99.6% instead. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Didn\u2019t get to try \u94c1\u86cb or \u8c46\u5e72 yet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I ran a bath after dinner to use a Lush bath bomb! \ud83d\ude42 Water pressure was high and the tub filled up fast and hot. Was pleased! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today I will rest up early to make up for last night. Will be off to Taichung for the next few days! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Oh, and my Flip\u2019s screen is okay again. I never knew exactly what happened to it. Oh well\u2026 <\/p>\n\n\n\n
