Last night when we finally made it to the hostel, the Australian was there. The one that was supposed to be with us but had food poisoning on the day we left. He brought with him an American. An American who can speak nearly fluent Chinese and can read a couple hundred of the nearly several thousand Chinese characters.
To celebrate the meeting of all our great, international minds, we went to a club where I had this much fun.
Today, however, we went to a park that housed the tomb of Tai Zong (Huangtaiji) who was the second emperor of the Qing Dynasty and the empress Xiaoduanwen, Bo’erjijite (have fun pronouncing those). The majority of the park’s buildings were made in 1643.
In the same park they had the most magnificent invention of all inventions. Ever. And why have I not seen them in Canada?! I present to you: ice bikes!
The other option was to try out these little chairs on blades and the idea is to push yourself along with really long, incredibly sharp metal rods. It’s grueling and it takes a while to get a hang of it, but it’s a lot of fun just the same.

LMFAO!!!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH I don't see the point of the ice bikes, because after you get to the other side, what do you do? Just leave it on the ice????
Hahahahaha
Wow though...those pictures are GORGEOUS!!!! Especially the description of how much fun you had ;D
OMG! Bring me back an ice bike!! NOOOOWWWW!!! LOL that is so cool!!
OR we should start up a ice bike business over here when you get back! We could even make low ridas and pimp them out!
We could 'peddle' (haha PUN! haha pedal, peddling? HUH! yesssssss Mrs. Sherlock would be PROUD! lol) them at the Canal during the winter!! GENIUS!!
Anyway...
The tomb looked so beautiful! (p.s. yeahh... totally can't even try to pronounce any of those names lol)
