The past few days we've been in Beijing and Xi'an. We have a few clips of our outings but would like to apologize for our video's lack of excitement. We've been following a tour and our expectations have NOT been met at all! Tours are horrible, don't ever depend on them for a good time!
Note: Expressionless faces of Beijing girls "having fun". Also, the end clip was originally a dance to a tango remix of Celine Dion's My Heart Will Go On, but the sound was not working on my computer, ugh!
With what little free time we had we decided to explore Beijing's "thrilling" nightlife. Our tour guide was nice enough to drop us off in the drinking district; we ended up meeting some peeps from the Netherlands who were able to point us in the right direction for some gak. Let's just say that our night ended at some crazy posh club with some crazy, crazy man cussing and spitting in our faces.
The Great Wall was fabulous. Reaching the top invigorated us more than we had expected. The view was breathtaking and to have had the opportunity to visit a world wonder is beyond words.
Our next stop was Xi'an. The city of Xi'an is most famous for their Terra Cotta Warriors (7,000 have been found buried underneath the city!) and their hand-crafted noodles. Our spirits were quickly uplifted upon arriving to a more friendly and less developed and polluted locale.
We're currently in Wuxi, tomorrow we're heading to Shanghai and then Hong Kong the day after. We'll be meeting up with our great friend, Kyle, and we'll have some great footage of our journey in the East by then.
Happy 4th of July, we're sad we can't be in the States to celebrate.
Vic's in Beijing
Dumplings from most famous dumpling house in Xi'an
Temple of Heaven (this is also where the senior citizen dance took place)
Farewell, ya'all. You'll be hearing from us again in Hong Kong:)

I found this "h" in the couch cushions. It took me awhile, but I eventually recognized it as the missing "h" from my last comment. I just wanted to make sure it found its way back to where it belongs. Sorry Khathy, won't happen again. :-]
hey khathy i need the keys to your pops truck so i can move my mattress.. just kidding.
my 4th of july party was pretty nuts. i'd say over a hundred people came and went and it WOULD'VE gone all night as planned until the cops showed up around 2:30 with 3 squad cars and shined a spotlight to the back yard and threatened me with a $2000 fine if i didn't get everyone out. they even yelled at people with their megaphone. super whacktastic.
the 3 Djs that did throw down absolutely killed it in the basement. it was a hot sweaty mess down there. i just feel bad for the 4 Djs that were on their way when the cops showed up :(
you can find one set of photos at my friend jake's flickr but i am still tryin to find more since i know a few others were taking pictures too.
enjoy the rest of your trip. i'll see you both soon.
