ha ha ha I LOVE China,

I mamaged to get 2 pairs of good fake Oakleys for 8 squid, 1 with 5 sets of changable lenses! We have been hammering the Silk Street shopping centre and the stall girls really don't know what hit them. Bunch of tight ass Scottish and Irish haggeling to the death :)) We pooled our resources and manadeg to buy 209 dvd's for 7 RMB (China money) each, thats about 55p each. Colim is going to being mine back to Irelend for me and save me posting from Oz. Bought all 20 of the Bond films and a WWII box set that a certain father might be interested in. Be interesting to see if he pickes up on hios birthday present. Will know if he is reading the Blog or not ;-)

Spent the rest of the afternoon in this awesome spa with Mike. Bit wierd as it's a segregated sex spa and u walk about in the Buff. At least P-man would be in his element! Walked in and ushered through to the changing area wjere they quickly locked our clothes away. The usual collection of pools, hot tubs and sauna's. Strange experience to be sitting in a rose petal covered hot tub with my mate. Agreed it was best to take a side each! Then the pool guys dry you, even your feet and dress u in paper undercrackers and shorrs and T-Shirts. Went upstairs for all u can eat buffet and a few beers then adjourned to the movie room for a few hours of HBO! Not a bad way to spend a Mon afternoon!

Tired now though as had to get up at 9 after getting to bed at 2:30 to drop my Mongolin visa off. Should get it tomorrow and fingers crossed be off to the Land of the Blue Sky by Fri!! Had to buy lonley planet Mongolia and cost me 16 squid but after China u learn that there things are worth their weight in gold.

Right off to get leathered now.

Later folks,

C
