Still waiting

So its day 8 i think waiting for my passport? I have lost track of time. So im here in beijing. With little money. Well i have it but i don't want to spend it here. I want to save it to go somehwere new. I didnt bring my text books so studying is not really that much of an option...

I went to the olympic green yesterday. rather disapointing. not that it was'nt good. the birds nest is awsome. its just that its a grey structure on the haziest day so i saw gray walkways, a grey building on a really grey hazy day with grey buildings in the background. Not what i call picture perfect. It was cold (-2C or 28F) and well so it wasn't the best. Im sure it would be much more enjoyable with other people or if it was warmer.

But i did have a fun night. I met some people in the hostel. And we went to the night market. THe famous street market where they sell everything from seahorses to noodles. Peddlers that sell eertying form drinks to other ladies who come up and ask if I want a chinese barbie doll. I ahve to say that was the first time i heard of ladies being sold...

We had a great time. (at the market not the ladies. we dont do that.) From squid on a stick to a chinese burrito. We saw lamp penis and sheep testicle. Roasted oysters and grilled scorpion. Shimp dumplings and beef noodles. It was wonderful fun. We went back to the hostel and ended up just sitting around drinking some vodka and beer talking before someone poped in a questionable copy of 007 Quantum of Solace. well it was good except the important conversations that explained what the evil plot is or who it is somehow was dubbed in chinese. So we saw the movie just no idea what happened...

so now im in a cafe just killing time.
