Baoding nights....oh man

Alright so I have an update...not a big one but we had a few adventures the past weekend.  Alex found a totally vegetarian place which serves the best food ever.  We go at least once a week.  I think we are pretty much the only ones who eat there so our mission is to single handedly keep the restaurant alive!  They have all this vegetarian propaganda too which is awesome.  We also found a really good jiaozi or dumpling place that is really cheap...but what isn't cheap in china?? 

So Friday night we go out to a bar, Charlie Bar, which is a really chill hole in the wall that is owned by the coolest Chinese guy ever.  He doesn't speak English so we all talk in Chinese which is awesome practice and he teaches us stuff too!  

Saturday we all go out to eat and then hit up the KTV.  KTV is like one of the few things to do in Chinese towns.  They are everywhere and are huge karaoke bars.  You get your own room with mics and just sing the night away!  So we sang all the britney spears we could handle and then went back to Charlie Bar for a bit.  On the way out of the KTV I got an awesome picture of a drunk guy being carried by his two friends.  Oh and when we leave the KTV the elevator door opens and there is a barrage of cameras and lights along with a groom carrying his new wife.  We stand there really confused will all of them looking at us.  It was really random and awkward.

Sunday I pretty much lazed around and did some work.  We went to the awesome vegetarian place again.  Next week is our October break and I hope to go see the three gorges!  So more update then!
