Shut up just drink

My dad's friend from the Bureau of Agriculture invited me to eat at this restaurant. He brought a lot of food from his own farm, including a (duck-goose-swan???) hybrid. I'm not really sure what one of those would look like alive, but cooked, it looks like a big chicken. MMM i love Chinese food. Everytime I come to China I gain weight - I had lost a lot of weight this year, but I think I will gain it all back in a few months. MMM just thinking about it makes my mouth drool....that potato slices...

My dad and I went to go get full body massages. OMG it hurt sooo much! I'm not sure if its just me, or if its that my masseuse is very harsh, but my whole upper body is sore. When he did the massage, I was clenching my teeth the whole time.

My friend from Peking U invited me to go to San Li Tun, which is a bar street that foreigners love to hang out at. Man there are so many foreigners, more than Chinese people. You'd think you were in New York or something. But my dad and I had to walk in the pouring rain, which was not fun bc we were too lazy to go home and get an umbrella.

Wow - it just hit me that its july 4th! Well, no one celebrates it here, obviously....

So I spent the rest of tonight in a bar called shut-up-just-drink, but I didn't drink anything. I was with a bunch of seniors who had just graduated from PKU, so they were pretty drunk. But wow! I didn't know Chinese students were that much the life of the party! They are even more wild than I am! But I enjoyed dancing and sipping my apple juice hehe.
