CRI reporter: Paul K
(CRI building, in the afternoon)<\/p>\n

(In the office, PK drops a few items on his desk. His attention is drawn to a colleague of his who seems sad.)<\/p>\n

PK: Are you ok?
Joanna: Yah!<\/p>\n

(Joanna doesn’t seem to be happy though.)<\/p>\n

PK: All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy, so the saying goes, but come to think of it, what if the games you choose to play don’t involve much of physical activities?<\/p>\n

(PK points to his left wher one of his colleagues is playing a solitaire on his computer.)<\/p>\n

PK: Or your work schedule leaves you no room to join your friends for a football match, some running or whatever sport is it that you like.<\/p>\n

Joanna: That’s when a gym comes in handy.
PK: Having said that…how a<\/em>bout taking you to one of my favorite gyms here in Beijing. Let’s go.<\/p>\n

(PK goes for his back pack that got everything he needs for the gym and heads for the door.)<\/p>\n

(Inside a gym-Afternoon)<\/p>\n

PK: I know maybe you are wo<\/em>ndering why I brought you here. For one, I needed some company and two I needed some one to pick up a few Chinese phrases I will be dropping along the way.<\/p>\n

(PK is at the gym reception waiting to be checked in.)<\/p>\n
