Holy crap, I'm going to China!
Tuesday, August 31st, 2004 - 9:44am
So, I woke up monday, went to work, and my father said "Hey, want to go to China? There's a group of businessmen who are going and I know one of them and..."
So in about 4 hours I arranged things, and apparently, I'm leaving for Hong Kong on Saturday(Just waiting for my chinese Visa, hopefully no problems will arise).
Any advice? I'm excited, but also a little wary. I've been to Europe, and it was pretty fun, but who knows how China will turn out.
It's going to cost about 4,000 dollars for 10 days, about 2 days in Hong Kong and 6 in Xiamen. I'm thinking it's kinda expensive, but oh well. Supposedly things are really cheap over there?

You''re all grown up and you are working in your father''s business? Like Jesus Christ or something?

Anyway, you''re sure going to have one hell of an experience, you lucky bastard, you!! Have fun, and be sure to take a lot of pictures for us!

Awesome, have a great time! I''ve had some friends go over there and they loved it, just stay with your group.
$4k for 10 days is not bad, especially if that includes a lot of stuff like food and airfare.
Be aware that the food we know here as chinese food has been adopted to the western culture, so it will be very different in taste. Other than that I''d say have a great time

No hay banda!
That''s... That''s the first time I''ve been compared to Jesus Christ. I''m big, man! Like the Beatles! 8)
One of the recommendations I heard was to take some medicine for upset stomachs, but come on, I live in Mexico. I have steel-plated intestines by now.

In Hong Kong make sure you go to one of those software stores where you buy a CD for a dollar and they have the machines where you can burn anything you want for free.
Nice! What a great opportunity. And since you''ll be going with a group of business men, chances are more than likely that you''ll be wined and dined at the best strip joints Hong Kong and Xiamen have to offer.

Bring me back a set of those neat finger cuffs will ya?

Sweet, just don''t get indoctrinated by the Communist idealogy!
You''ll enjoy it. I went to China in 1985 after graduating college. My aunt and uncle always gave anyone in our family a trip anywhere in the world they wanted to go when they graduated from college. If you are anywhere near it, I recommend getting on the Great Wall. Lots of areas are closed to tourists, but just standing on it felt like I was a part of history. I actually tried to sneak a rock from the Wall in my pocket, but my guide saw me and made me put it back in the EXACT same spot. Maybe they thought I was trying to steal the Wall one pebble at a time. And no, you can NOT see it from space. It would have to be lit up like noones business for that.
Yankees rock, you know it's true...
Maybe the communists will be indoctrinated into the Mexual ideology. The world could use a billion more Mexuals.
All this science I don't understand. It's just my job five days a week.
Bah! Its not Kenya!
Ask for some Chop Suey. Funny looks guaranteed.
They have chop suey in kenya!
Except there it''s called chopped ethiopian.
Check out Tianeman square! See if you can spot where the tanks rolled over the peaceful demonstrators! Such Fun!

Hey. While you''re in Hong Kong could you say ''hi'' to my friend Tom for me. Thanks a lot.
Oh, and have a good time and everything.
Are you two into trying new things?
Sure, as soon as I get off the plane I''ll shout ""TOM! PSYCHOKILLERZ SAYS HI!!!"".
Dammit! I''m getting nervous, but the promise of strip clubs and chinese women soothes me.

Don''t get nervous Mex, I mean come on, there should be nothing to worry about... I mean in a population of 1.6 billion people what are the odds of you meeting someone with Sars, or a case of the avian flu, or for that matter the this years influenza virus. Have fun snuggling up to all those women at the strip clubs. The ones that just spent the last 8 hours snuggling up to men professionally.

""Of course, in their country they just call it ''food''.""
Heard they sell hella cheap pc stuff in hongkong, with all the piracy going on and what not. You''re welcome to try getting a bargain, but it''s just not safe unless you know some people there.

Don''t watch that Richard Gere Movie where he wakes up with the body of the generals hot daughter in the room. It may scare ya off.
Anyways, have a good time. A full report is eagerly expected from you.
