Beijing - China (Day 5)

Day 5: We slept in after a rowdy night of horse races, and when we got up, decided we should cruise out to the Lama Temple, where we walked around taking pictures, and Buddha drained Sammy's camera battery cause you're not supposed to take pictures of the inside of the shrines. We ran into a couple of horny Tibetan monks, who we got our picture with. I got new camera batteries, and Sammy and Seska bought gifts for people back home.

Siggie and Alex took off that day, and so did Nathan, all hopping on trains to take them whever they were going, the Germans to Vietnam, where Alex is starting a job (apparently he speaks fluent Vietnamese as well as English and German), and Nathan to, hell, who knows. I don't even think Nathan knows.

When we got back, we went to the acrobat show, which turned out to be over already, and got to watch the Kung Fu show instead, featuring the life of Kung Fu master Kong Kong, and was pretty badass. Also, we got the best Engrish business card of all time, from Liu Yi Lin, a "World queer unique skill artist society member director". Apparently he was at the "CCTV 2003 Chinese New Year get-together - Specially invite underwrite hatch master", whatever exactly that means.

We went back to the hostel, drank, went to bed. This apparently is a highly abridged version of our day. Thus ended Day 5.
