2 weeks in China…

First couple of days was spent in Guangzhou. It’s a pretty cool place if your into eating and partying. They have good food and a lot of good places to party, and I swear it’s lots of fun dancing with Chinese people, I can do my signature dance move and they love it (if done in Denmark weird stares are given). Anyway, apparently they are most famous for their food. We tried soo many different types of veggies, animals, and experience real Chinese dinning, we got to eat with Xingy’s dad’s friends… constant flow of food, tea, and rice wine. I also got to meet alot of awesome backpackers who’s been travelling through Asia. Thing about me and Xingy hanging out with white guys is that we seriously looked like 5-dolla-hoes…. ignore.

Next stop was a city called Zhaoqing, we were only there for one night, didn’t really get to fully enjoy the place since I was nursing a mini-hangover that day. But the place is pretty, we did a lot of walking, which in my state at that time was excrusiating but the scenery was awesome and the waterfalls was breathtaking.

A couple of days later Helena and I were off to Beijing by train (20+ hours). Beijing wasn’t really part of the original plan but somehow we manage to fit it in. Helena hasn’t been to Beijing so we decided to stop over, however not really a stop over since it was all the way on the other side. But yeah, we stayed in a hostel for 3 nights and did the touristy stuff, Forbidden City, Great Wall, and Summer Palace. I’ve been to all 3 back when I was 13 with my parents, all places has become very touristy and crowded. We managed to squeeze in some partying, we went bar hopping and then to some clubs with awesome music, except for the occasional Eminem and 50 cent shit… Beijing was fun :)

After Beijing we took a 25 hour train ride to Hong Kong to meet up with Xingy again. We didn’t really have big plans in Hong Kong but party. Hong Kong on a Saturday nigh is lots of fun, met loads of different people, even managed to meet a couple of Danes. But on our last night in Hong Kong I stupidly decided to bring my Visa with me…. stupid, stupid, stupid…

I lost my purse with all my “party essentials”… including my one and only Visa. When I realized this we were two hours away from getting on our flight to Manila. So yeah, now I have no money, I have soo much money in my account right now but I can’t do anything about it! I can’t even move my money to my friends account because my stupid Net Bank thing isn’t working.

But yeah, overall… China was awesome. I had to skip some details coz right now I’m still a little hazzy from Xingy’s goodbye party… don’t even know why I’m blogging right now.

Anyway, I’ll blog about Philippines soon!
