... a donkey! The chinese people have no inhibitions and knowhow to enjoy themselves. A choir across the road was also in full voice. It was great. We also experienced the LOCO CLUB. It was very male dominated and we were hit upon almost immediately. We had to stifle our laughter as (sweaty) chinese men gyrated awkwardly in front of us. Robotic dancing was all the rage, as well as rapping - two girls dressed in basketball vests and baseball caps rapped "kevin and ...

... to say to the fact that the buster, completely unfazed, rode in the opposite direction to boot, that is, towards us? After that, if a UFO had landed on that particular motorway, I don't think I'd have been much more flabbergasted. And PingPing paid roughly as much attention to him as to the nearest traffic sign. Which in China in effect usually means no attention at all. If I had asked her five minutes later what she thought about it, I wouldn't have been surprised if she had drawn a ...

... of the roofs. If you have read any of the Empress Orchid books you can imagine it was pretty cool to see the throne and the screen behind which she used to sit. After this we made our way out of town to the Summer Palace. This is where the emperors went to get away from the summer heat. It is set around a lake and has a huge long corridor along the lake side, about a kilometre long, that is all hand painted with all sorts of different scenes. After walking around the lake we caught a ...

I got a couple more room mates in my hostel, a French couple who smell like armpits. After noticing this, I left the hostel to meet Melody in an area called Wangfu Jing, which is like the baller part of Beijing, about half an hour walk from my hostel. I remember last year making a similar walk and making a friend on the way; a professor at The People's University and also the owner of a small art shop. I decided to walk by his art studio and see if ...

... Hooray for cheap goods!) Change. Replacement. Dizzying. Blink-and-it's-gone. Blink again and something else is there. A cramming of 200 years of modernisation into 20 years...and now into 4 months in time for the Olympics. It is most obvious in the cityscapes. When I first arrived my view was of a half-built new office skyscraper opposite and a red poor/small-ish/old/****-in-comparision- to-all-other-CBD-skyscrapers block of flats. Now I glance out of my ...

... Forbidden City from White Dagoba in Beihai Park next Jingshan Park. Anyway I caught a taxi at the back of Jingshan Park and headed for Downtown Backpackers Accommodation.

At the hostel, I booked a Jinshanling and Simatai Great Wall hiking tour for only 280 RMB. Then I realized they also had a tour to Beijing Opera and Shaolin Kung Fu Show. It was a pity that Beijing Opera was not available on the night, but I was able to book a ticket for Shaolin Kung Fu Show. I ...

... for the next vender, and I got a beautiful knock-off Kipling (that I saw in the states for $100) for $4. We were starting to get the hang of this. Phil wound up with a tee shirt for just a couple of dollars as well. We discovered that you can pretty much get any price you want, you just have to have leave your guilt at the door. The subway closest to our hotel was closed for construction, so we had to go to Beijing station. We then discovered how close ...

... of energy over here. And, don't drink the water. Also, get a cell phone as soon as possible and get your fingers ready. Calling is expensive, and no one has voice mail anyways. People spend half their day just texting away. Finally, I'll talk a little about the food. It's a communal dining style over here, which also helps out those cold-medicine fat cats. And, there isn't too much preparation, so ...

... receive a bike for his services. So I hit the bank for some cash and we head to the used motorcycle market. I find a 1995 Ural that looks in fairly decent shape. I agree to his price if he will put on 3 new tires, supply a used wheel and tire for the spare, put in a new battery, and install a new clutch cable. This all gets done in about an hour (because the seller is *****ing the whole time) and now it's almost too late to leave for Altay ...
