Heya Guys!!!

First morning in Hangzhou!!! Feeling excited and a little bit tired. Yesterday was sooo eventful!

After hanging about at the HK airport we boarded dragon air and made out way to Hangzhou. Megan and I mainly just slept. They had awesome food though ;)

When we arrived in China, I must admit I was still kinda scared, all the officials at the airport looked so scary with their uniforms! But yea, customs was a breeze! Once we exited there was a girl holding a sign saying “CHINA STUDY TOUR – CONFUCIUS INSTITUTE UWA”

So we went to her and met up with the other tour people. We had seen them around HK airport but didn’t really talk to them. Anywho, we made our way to the bus, and then we were off to the campus. Man! The campus was like 1 hour away from the airport! So again Megan and I slept. (Note to Will… yes, I went into Anna’s standard sleeping in car mode).

We arrived at the campus at about 5.30 and it was really dark already! We walked into the lobby which looks like a hotel aye! Very nice. In there we James ( Megan’s uni friend). He is really cool, after we found our room (which is exactly like a hotel room) he took us out to get a SIM card. (Which does not send any sms or phone calls to Australia!! *Augh*) and he then took us out to Dinner at Grandma’s Kitchen with this friends. I can’t really remember all of their names, but they were all really nice. Psycho really… like when we were crossing the street (where we were ALMOST KILLED MIND YOU) they were playing a card game!!! They were like walking looking at their cards and really into it! Not paying attention to the traffic! The green man said go… so we did, but so did the traffic that were turning!! I was like HOLY SHIT!! I am very scared.

Dinner was cool. I kinda wasn’t hungry but it was cool to try the different foods there. I know I had duck tongue, which is quite… difficult to eat… but nevertheless yummo bummo!!! Dinner cost us 60 RMB. James then asked whether we were up for a Dorm party…

Megan and I looked at each other, and we said… O.K
and played the first thing that came to our heads, and it just so happen to be, the best song in the world, it was the BEST song in the world… look into my eyes and its easy to see that 1 makes 2 and something something 3… Ok… I cant remember the song… so sue me!

Anywho the deal was that it was a dorm party… costs 60RMB and get this shit…. UNLIMITED DRINKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! NO JOKE. So yea. (oh yea… btw 60 RMB is about 10 bucks Aussie…MAAAAIITE!!) So as you can tell… we had a good night. Very eventful night actually. The club was SOOO cool… like the lights were awesome! We weren’t allowed to take photos in the club… but we still did… unfortunately I couldn’t take any fotos OF the club. But yea… did I say eventful… yea… ok. We played drinking games which are pretty fun!!! We then started dancing (we were in the RnB room which played GOOD music!)
OMG… what is it with me and the damn TOILETS!!! Ok.. get this..the toilets are quat… ok… that’s already quite a mission when your drunky. But… OMG I was waiting in line… and this random girl started talking to me… (in mandarin mind you… I was like “I don’t understand…” she kept on talking… yaddi yadda) so anywho… when the door opened, I walked in, and then I went to close the door. She put her foot in the door and was like saying something and pushed her way in. I was like HOLY crap!. Then she kinda indicated for me to go and it would be ok she wont look… was already busting and I couldn’t really be stuffed. So I did my thing. And then I went to the tap to wash my hands and she went and did her thing. Is it the way I look which attracts these toilet hitchhikers?!?!?! (Look at my Singapore entry. U’ll see the similarities)

After the toilets, Megan, James and I went to the dance floor, and one of James’ friends started pushing him around and yea… there was a fight.. a lil one. In the process James punched one of the bodyguards… and then all of a sudden we didn’t know what was happening… the club people were taking him down this corridor and then to this lift… his friends followed, shouting stuff. Megan and I had noo idea… and when they went in the lift Qiao told us to just wait there. Which we did. After a few mins they came back down. James had to explain to some of the club people what was happening and stuff and all was good. *fewf*

After more dancing on the dance floor, I decided to sit. I tried smsing Will knowing there was a good chance he wouldn’t get it, but I thought I might try. I then felt something next to me. All I saw was a white shirt!! This tall black dooude with cornrolls was like leaning into me and just staring and me with this smirk. I shouted “WHAT???!” and he asked “why are you no longer dancing?” “I said, I am buggered, and I am messaging my boyfriend.” He kept on looking at me. He then sat next to me and asked me where I was from. I said Australia. He didn’t believe me. I asked where he was from he said he was from Africa. I asked what he was doing in China… he said “modle” I was like “HUH?” he then said it again which I understood … “Model.” I was like “Oohh”

Eddie and Laura (James friends) then moved over my way and said “C’mon lets dance” and yea… they saved my ass! After a while… Megan walked off the dance floor and layed down on the couches… James and I were like “are you ok?” and she said she needed to rest. I decided to go get water… I walked to the bar and shouted “can I have 2 waters?” the bar man just blankly looked at me giving me a “what are you saying?” look. It hit me.. crap… they don’t understand me! So I turned around to the closest person to me. “Can you speak English?” the girl shook her head. So I turned to the guy next to her “can you speak English?” the guy said yes and I asked him how to say “water”. He told me “Sh-er-way” (that’s how it sounded) and it worked! The guys at the bar gave me the water in a martini glass tho… which was nothing… so I asked the guy next to me if he could get me a jug of water. The bar man gave him a bottle of green tea. I was like.. I have no money! He said not to worry as he would cover it!

The good Samaritan’s name was Titto (Jackson 5 baby!) and he was from Mexico! I think he sympathised as I had explained that a friend of mine was really sick.

After that megan wanted out. So we headed for the doors. But we had to wait for James to grab our coats. Megan kinda sat on the floor and lean on the wall… the bouncer guy was like “no no no” speaking in frantic mandarin and pulling megan up. I was like… “no no no!! She wont be sick!!” he gave me a blank look. I then said “We are going home!” again he gave me a blank look. I tired to remember the mandarin I had learned on my ipod a year ago… “wo cher…. Crap what is home?” I eventually did some actions… I pointed at megan, then I made a yaking gesture and then said “no no no” he then understood and left us.

After that… well… it ended as a normal good night would end. Home.
