lol i have no idea what it cost man, i didnt pay for it, but the best way to do something like this would be to go with family or on a tour group. 2000 pounds is alot of money though, you could probably do it on that amount of cash.

lol its china, no one was listening to the rules and everyone was taking photos so i thought i would too
shit.. shoulda just shot a video instead.. -lol the spear to throat thing is a bit too played out for me... but damn.. I wanna see their crazy ass moves.. what else did they do?
lol they didnt do that much really, it was just kinda a small show. they showed off lotsa weapon and free hand patterns and acrobatics. the best thing they did was where they had a balloon, and a pane of glass infront of it. Then one of the monks gathered his chi and threw a pin at the glass and it went through and popped the balloon. they showed off the glass afterwards and it had a tiny hole in it from where the pin went through. was pretty sweet.
ooh sounds pretty coo... damn if I were you.. I woulda went up to their secret book room and stole some ancient secret kung fu manuscripts!!
damn I guess no controlling of the chi and longevity for you then... hahah looking at your avy.. reminds me.. soul caliber 4 is gonna have vader exclusively for the ps3!!
longevity is over rated, i want to die young/middle aged in a ball of flame. who wants to go out as a frail old person wallowing in their own waste. hahaha and yeah. the Xbox 360 will have yoda
well time for post 4/4 famous peking duck restaurant in beijing two peking ducks and me... the ultimate menage a trois someone's laundry.. and dinner.. lol was walking by and watched this sk8ter boi can himself. was fukin jokes, had to take a picture of his misery the ford S-max, one of those cool cars we don't get in north america beijing shopping district yeeehhh, full-filling my quest to eat chinese KFC. I wasn't really there for the food, although i was curious as to its taste. My main reason for going was to see the type of people who eat chinese KFC. I discovered that it was mostly teenagers and kids of what i suspected were probably wealthy parents. The pricing of the food was about 3/4 of what you would pay in a north american KFC, which makes eating there relatively expensive for a native chinese. I got the impression that eating KFC, or any north american branded fast food for that matter, had social connotations attached that indicated you were better off than most, and probably a member of the upper-(middle) class. some frakkin tiny pieces of chicken leaving beijing, heading to the airport sigh the adventure ends good bye beijing some excellent cans to keep me entertained on the way back back in Socal. i didn't really notice but there are actually no pick-up trucks in china lol and then it was time for a nice chinese meal, los angeles style shark fin lobstaaaaa craaaaaaabbbbbb and so it concluded.. back on a plane and back home the next day. it was a great adventure, but like all good things it had to end eventually....
Damn. Looks like you had a lot of fun! I wish I could go on a trip. :( BTW, how much did you pay for the Bose headphones? Do you still have the sales receipt for it?
lol those were a friend's dad's headphones, i was just borrowing them. according to him they cost $200. my own bose headphones aren't noise canceling :(.
gosh fearless, must have been one heck of trip havent gone outside of the california in 10 years, gosh im hoping i can go on something like this when i've graduated
Thank god. Don't buy Bose. If you're looking for a good pair of cans that can blow Bose clear out of the water for less here are some to consider. Sennheiser HD555 Sennheiser HD595 AudioTechnica ATH-A500 AudioTechnica ATH-A700 AudioTechnica ATH-A900 Grado SR60 Grado SR80 Grado SR125 Grado SR225 Beyer Dynamic DT660 All of them cost <$200. Choosing which one depends on your music preference.
yeah it was alot of fun, and i learned alot in terms of what china is like currently in terms its socio-economic situation, and class structure. it was nice to travel to a country that is so completely different from north america, and it helped me put my life in perspective a bit better. u get lotsa good life skills too, like how to poop in a squatting position edit - hahaha and i know bose is kinda over-rated and over-priced, but imo they still have some great sound quality.
