So almost six months have passed and like always, farewells come at the end. So last 1,5 weeks have been quite busy, not just because of deadlines for handling in assignments but also saying goodbye for people leaving. Obviously it also meant some fun!
There were many different evenings in both nightlife areas (Woudakou & Sanlitun). At beginning of my studies I tried study Chinese, a good point from that was that we got a nice language class so I still hang around with them event that I dropped of from language studies to other major. One night we went out with class, with a private space in bar where we hang arounded, had a laugh before continuing to the place called Wu-Club. Interesting evening but nothing more about that -those who participate, those knows...
Another day direction was Sanlitun and club name Latte. Cool club, that has different shows during evening separates it slightly on basic clubs. In Beijing the basic logic how club works is following: Clubs want to be popular among foreigners (non-Asian looking), because it is seemed to make the club more attractive also among Chinese. In clubs rules changes a bit, but i.e. in Latte foreigners get free entry and free drinks (3 different choices) until like 2am or something. Chinese will pay a table and order their drinks before on there that easily costs thousands rmbs. So basically rich Chinese brings money for the clubs and foreigners enjoy the fun for free. It was a also fun evening just was a bit more rough than usual as I ended up with black eye and some bruises, but nothing more about that either -those who participate, those knows...
Life is not just clubbing (its actually quite little part of time here in China), its more about food I would say. We were a group of fifteen people who went to one buffet place, 60rmb all you cane eat and drink (incl. beer, baiju...). So many options, so limited time but I still managed eat so much that I felt exploding when walking out, straight to bed and sleep.Another day, I had a sushi lunch with my two Japanese friend.
Lastly, my Finnish friend Jussi who was studying Hong Kong this spring was on a China tour with his friends and Beijing was last stop. I met them when I was in Hong Kong, so now it was other way around. There was one wish: Would be cool see nightlife... You got what you ordered, so Latte was destination and I remember the words said there: “This is cool, but there is one thing that I dont understand, how this all can be free???”
So it was time to pack my backpack and leave Beijing behind, I have one more stop to go before I leave China. Its a bit more than 4000 km from Beijing and takes 42 hrs in train going as high as 5000 meters ending up on 3500 meters above sea level: Place is Lhasa, Tibet.
