Pimpin All over the World

So! I had a quite adventurous day yesterday! But lets start from Thursday. Thursday, Jeremy, Elaine, and I along with our new Hong Kong friends went to a beer pong tournament. We lost to German people. It was horrific. Yesterday was a really adventurous day.I  went to the Black Rabbit Music Festival and saw Ludacris and 30 seconds from Mars. I went with my friend Jordan and one of her friends. Ludacris was awesome and we were basically on the second row. Up yonder is Jordan and of course Ludacris. Rudy said you could make a drinking game of everytime I mentioned Ludacris last night haha. We went to Bar Streeet in Beijing which is called Sanlitun or Sanlituar. Also we ate one of my favorite things in Beijing...Chuar.
It's when they grill meat and or veggies on a stick. Here's some good old Beijing Chuar for you!

Chuar is very beijing. Up there is Medieval Dave. We have two Daves on our trip so one of them is nicknamed Medieval Dave because his hair makes him look like he could joust or something. It was a lot of fun. Our friend Ross got rather drunk and bought like 3 rounds of tequila shots for everyone. His explanation at the time was that he had too much money and needed to buy everyone shots. haha. It was just good times with good people last night.

Oh!

Oh!

Okay, So on Friday our program is leaving for 9 days to go to Qinghai and Gansu. These are both cities in Western China with high populations of minorities. This will be such a great opportunity to see what western and rural China daily life is like. I am so excited about this trip because I know it is really going to give me a new perspective on rural China that is outside of the glamour of the capital of Beijing. Some of our activities will include visiting several mosques and monasteries, meeting with Tibetans, exploring several National parks,and really getting to know Western Chinese culture! 

I'm not going to lie to you. I have the flu now. It's quite unfortunate...I'm getting better though.
