City life

So let me start off by the guys didn't get here till like 5am! Of course Al wakes me up when he gets here cause he doesn't have a key so thank god I'm a light sleeper. Once I'm up, I'm up its a wrap for going back to sleep. So we order room service and as we are looking around at our new temp digs we see about 20 people outside doing Tai chi in unison crazy!!! Gotta Love China!


Beijing looks like a metropolitan city, tall buildings , European cars, chain restaurants so different from Guangzhou like night and day.


Theres a bike lane on the highway!!!! WTH!!!



Its about 5pm, we're headed out to the Pearl market to do some early xmas shopping j/k lol.




Hendrix, Morrow, Randolph, Nelson, Watson, Jack, Gena, Al and I all boarded a bus and headed over to the market.


You walk in there people are everywhere. There is product everywhere you don't know where to turn and look immediately you are overwhelmed. No one told us that they were so aggressive either. You think the people in the malls that try to get you to buy the flat iron or the people that try to get you to buy the lotions and nail buffers are persistent think again! These people are pulling you trying to get you to buy Ipod's, watches, scarfs etc. It was crazy in there. We walked around trying to get better deals for things it all worked it self out some of the guys got electronics others got watches for dirt cheap.


Cj and Morrow getting love
