i lied. another post from hangzhou.

ok so i'm not in beijing yet. i'm still in hangzhou and im lazy today and john's intensely hungover so other than going out for an hour to buy pretz and, since it's gonna be freezing in beijing, a $20 big ol man's camoflauge jacket for myself (camo cause it reminds me slightly of my beloved TNA jacket and men's cause well apparently my silly limbs are too long for china clothing. even in size XL), we're just sitting in the apartment till we have to make the trek over to the train station. so i thought, fuck i'll just post some pictures! i mean, why not. it's like being productive!

the national silk museum:

the big touristy area:


awww. i heart communists.

there was tons and tons of street food there:
but what did us cool kids eat for lunch? that's right. hello warm, inviting golden arches.

and right next to the tourist area: extreme poverty. i felt like a bit of an asshole for taking this picture.

and here's who i've been hanging with in china. chinese people in china? psssh dont be silly. john and his euro crew:


that last one's a keeper for sure.

Hey Dee,

Surprise surprise, i'm actually reading your blogs, haha!!
Nice to see you in "athletic wear" all the time, I can hardly recognize you. I might go to beijing for 2 months in July/Aug, still in the works! I'll keep you posted.
Good luck on the overnight train!
