Tuesday 25th May
Today was spent trying to recover from the night before, and slowly remembering all those things you said and did which make you feel like the biggest idiot that ever walked the face of the earth. Ahhh the blessings of alcohol. Basically just wandered around Beijing, had another game of bowling and went to an internet cafe as well as the supermarket. We were catching a train at 7.30pm to take us to Su Zhou, two hours north of Shanghai. I decided to eat on the train, however they didnt have an english menu, luckily there was this chinese guy who had lived in europe for 3 years and spoke excellent english who managed to get me what i wanted. We had a beer and a chat and then we sat down for dinner. There was a lot of those awkward silences. Not sure why people who help think they need to hang out with you, especially when they dont try and make an effort to make conversation. ahh well as soon as i had finished i was out of there. I wanted to finish the book i was reading, a chris ryan book called the watchman. a very good book.
