Last night out on Beijing
Quick post about the girls night out. Well after the orphanage the boyus crashed. I think they had to lift the kids and pretend to be aeroplanes one two many times. So the girlies trooped out on a shopping mission!
We negotiated for two rickshaws to Wangfujing, but then they dumped us 5 mins away from it and we had a large argument about their dodgy dealings! Well, we lost because I couldn't remember the words for 'But you agreed...' so we paid and walked on.
Two girls came up to us, students, spoeaking good english and we thought 'Oh no, here we go again with the art gallery stuff'. But actually, they were really patient, translated the whole night and helped us tell our cabby directions without asking anything. It restored our faith in finding nice people I think.
The waiter at the underground tavern where we had late night nibbles fell in love with Renae. He gave us free tea, drew a picture of himself on a baloon and gave it to her and snuck a kiss on the cheek when we were taking a photo! We were in absolute hysterics.
He ended up giving her his email and ICQ ao he can get that photo.
