smi man...i'm worried about you...you need a hobby real bad

I'll probably be there for the olympics...if I'm lucky maybe I'll actually get some tickets

dunno, but all the tour groups here are just out for money, they pack too many events in..you'll have a better time if you go by yourself with a guide or a relative or something

I'll take some more pics of my goods when I get back

compared to some of the places you can go...

...like climbing Hua Shan up cliff edges as steep as 90 degrees

a wall just ain't so hot...and theres always so many people there

I think they are actually...an american saw a stall selling pieces of meat in between two slices of bread at a world convention in crystal palace. He took the idea and modified it, adding the meat in some sesame buns, creating the burger as we know it.

At least, thats what I heard.

Its not because you look american. Its because package tours are by nature cheap 'n flimsy...like a bad boob job. The nasty comments behind your back, the way drivers seem to be aiming right at you, the way people put out fag ends on your butt...THATS because you look american

I'm not with a tour group, I got too many people to see, things to do. Though China is a difficult place to get around if you don't know anyone, so if you're just visiting infrequently its still best to go with a package tour. I'm really starting to wish someone in this place knew how to make a coffee.

anti-chinese food huh?...dunno if a place like that would last long here  :alien:

I stayed in Beijing for a few days, visited the forbidden city, the summer palace, a coupla monastaries by day...and went in for a little night life  :hehe:

Then I got my ass hauled to Xian, visited my cousins...slept in late and went spending big around town at night. Climbed Hua Shan and slept up there, and some other big assed mountain whos name I can't rightly spell...Stayed in a coupla times in the Grand Castle Hotel where I stayed. The five star service was cool...they had some water garden indoors with a live pianist at night, so I requested a few songs and drank a few Royal Coffees (btw: ALL the coffee in this country tastes awful). Then I got my ass hauled to this other five star hotel where I am now, the room is better, but there aren't such great facilities.

not a lot to say really...I'm just here sightseeing...on the point of which, I spotted this sign outside some old WW2 guerrila tunnel network outside Beijing

yeah...and I'm still in China

I've got no plans these few days so I'm just gonna surf the web a little, watch some TV and relax. I got myself shacked up in a five star hotel, they have some MAD fast broadband.

man just format disk and start new

seems to me there won't be much to save anyway  :huh:  

no...he wasn't  :sheep:  

right, its Ev from back on holiday with a special message for y'all. For some odd little reason I can't get any invites out from on Gmail. I reckon its the republicans...anyway, I need a favor from someone here who got Gmail (and I know theres a few of you out there). Please send an invite to

yves_jiang@yahoo.com.cn

Dunno...maybe I'll give you a hug...or lick your feet when I get back  :sheep:  
 

yeah...I've stopped playing really

lesse what entertains me...Painkiller, Thief 3 and UT2k4

maybe cos you don't got no members    

...contract?...I'd say thats the law...

...unless you're alowed to just attack people in the US
