Practical tip: if you want to play football with other Africans in your city, do not look on Instagram. Go to the African barber shop or the import grocery and ask to be added to the WeChat group. That is it. That is the secret. Found my first game in Hangzhou last Sunday and realized too late that turf shoes are not optional here — real grass basically does not exist. My ankles are asking many questions. Ke a leboga to the brother who passed me water after I almost collapsed. Small win.
