Thursday September 30th: Vics

Last day of classes before the week-long National Holiday!

Katie and I went to find the Computer Center so we could pay for our October internet. The day before Rachel, Katie, and I had spent forever trying to find the right place. We had no clue where it was. We had to stop and ask all the locals, who looked at us like we were crazy. We then headed to our Hanyu class. Of course first we had a test. It was not easy. Grabbed a jianbing for lunch and went back to the dorm to skype with Marco.

Went to Tingli class, it took great motivation. Last class! It was soooo nice when we finished. A sudden wave of relaxation and laziness hit me. We celebrated with a Bacardi breezer and a trip to the dining hall for dinner.

That night a bunch of people on our program headed to Vic's, a club near the SanLiTun district. It was very cool. You know those clubs you see in music videos? That's where we were. It was supposed to be 60kuai for all you can drink, but they were like "not tonight!" since it was the holiday. We stubbornly stood outside and refused to go in until the hostess came up to us and gave in. Girls got in for 60 kuai, guys 100 kuai- all you can drink.

It was a very fun night. There were tons of foreigners at the bar. I spent most of the night just getting drinks for other people. I didn't need anymore and wanted my money's worth! Made some more Asian friends. They had a humongous bottle of whiskey on their table- probably like 3 handles worth! Additionally they had six or seven normal-sized bottles of whiskey. I was like 'how are the three of you going to drink all of that?' They turned out not to be very fun (they obviously did need all that whiskey for something after all) so I left. Anyway fun night, we headed home and skyped to Eliza briefly before hitting the sack.
