Day5 The Bass System

day 5
ah thank god for air con. first good nights sleep in china :)
Today i slept in until about 10.00 and me and chen decided to go to the silk market and get some breakfast on the way. breakfast was, a pizza ball thing, a cheeseburger(cold) a croissant and some mango ice thing. still slightly confused about that breakfast choice.
The silk market was massive, its basically full of lots of fake bags, clothes etc. you can get a Taylor made suit for 80 squid. although it gets very boring buying things as you have to barter for 5 - 10 mins just to buy one item and they will start with a price at like 300 yen and you can usually get them down to more like 30 - 40 yen.
After a while in the silk market we set off to the underground to go back to chens. I managed to get a pocket watch, a zippo, a fan, a purse and some shirts and trousers for around 230 yen. not bad
once we got back I was exhausted, it was over 40 degrees Celsius so you get tired pretty fast.
I spent ages trying to get on facebook and finally managed to through a French proxy server, there are so many restrictions on Chinese internet its crazy.
I then went to sleep for a few hours before getting ready to go to some Beijing night clubs.
as expected I was the only westerner in the night club, walking in was like a scene from a western, everyone turning round and staring at me. Once I was in it was okay though. The club was massive and full of beautiful Chinese and Russian girls. Although i didn’t have much luck with any, I managed to dance with a few Chinese girls but that’s all. I blame the language barrier. I will have to learn Chinese i guess.

the bass system in the club was ridiculously loud! I like loud music but this was stupid. Cant of been good for my ears.
Overall the club was pretty good. I am glad the music was all English although the kept repeating old Abba songs all night wedged in between electro tunes, very strange, oh and the Chinese are the craziest dancers in the world, I mean I look like a good dancer compared to them. Me and chen were having a right laugh watching some of them dance. One guy was clearly just doing star jumps and tuck jumping, dancing? I think not.

After a long night we got a taxi back to chens pretty late, although Beijing was still busy as ever.
