China... we saw, came, and conquered!

What's the goins on?!? Yeah I'm back from the motherland and have returned a little crippled than before. More on that story later tho. How was my holiday you ask? Bloody fantastic I tell ya! It was a great adventure, sorta like a Harold and Kumar.

We started our journey!! Met up with the boys at counters F at the Airport to check in. After checkin in, my word... it was the best feeling!! It felt great coz we have been talking about going overseas as a group for a long while during our uni days, and now it has finally happened.

Was bit worried about getting onto Korean Airlines... But what the heck! There's Nam and I about to board our aircraft. Ten hour flight, a night stop over in Korea and then another three hour flight to Xiamen, China the next morning.

Arrived into Incheon, and my geez... it was minus eight degrees!! I was freezing my nuts off. Speaking of my nuts... nah I shouldn't talk about it. Oh stuff it (Mom, if you're reading it's only for memories)! Anyways, it was freezing so much that it made my balls dry! I thought I had a problem and decided to tell the boys. I soon felt much better after Ed told me it happened to him before. Lucky I had along with me some moisturiser. Moving along, we collected our bags and waited for a transfer bus to our hotel.

To our surprise we stayed over night here!! We were so excited... not becoz it was the Hyatt but becoz it had a casino inside. Pfffft!!!

This thingy was in the foyer and looked pretty cool. If you don't think its cool, let me know I'll take it off then...


Us going to our hotel room.

Woke up and went downstairs to help ourselves to a continental buffet breakfast! Then went back up to moisturise and get ready for our flight to China.

So we finally made it to Xiamen and met up with the Guang Yang brothers on arrival. Look at Andy already on duty, suited and ready to pimp! This is a song that will stay in our heads along with the memories during this trip.


We ended up getting two apartments, one on top of the other. This was a cheaper option for us rather than checkin into a hotel. This was the view from our balcony, and we were pretty much close to all the nightlife so we could crawl back home. Anyways who said money was an issue...?

So we played 21, and Andy was the one who had to rob the bank.

Some tourist attraction in Xiamen. Went here last time I came but I still enjoy seconds

Here is a photo a took in one of the clubs there. Wasn't able to take much photos coz of the strict restrictions there. You know I don't want to get shot or anything like that, so had to do the sneaky.

Another sneaky! This club is crazy! There are heaps of glamour dancers, see two there?

Here's another one. I know its bad photo, I had half my digi cam in my pocket!

So all these illegal motocycle taxis come in from the country late at night, so we tripled on a ride around which only cost us 3rmb (umm 50cents).

Thought I take a photo of the barba shop we often went to. I mean for Au$3, you get your hair washed, head massaged, body massaged and ears cleaned. Thats value!

And so Ya made his yellow ass to Xiamen to meet us! So drinking now became worst after he came coz this superstar loved his Chivas and Martells... mmm chivas and green tea!

I'm guessing you can imagine what the vibe was about on this particular night. Look at em mofos! At this point in time everyone just went ballistic...

Seriously, Eds behaviour just took a left turn cause... well... you see...the booz had hit him with an upper cut right hook combo. It was over from there.


Heres a pic of me and Xiao Xing (?) at a cafe we frequently visited. Got to know few of the waitresses there. Andy fell in love!

He is us at the cafe again. We went there so Andy could cheese it with a waitress there. This was a cool place to bum around and only a short stroll away. If only I had photos of our hot pot place... nearly every morning after clubbing we would be there to chow down. And the funny thing is coz we were always so drunk, we would be so loud and arguing amongst each other. "The point is..." that place brought us together. hahah!

Ya's sailormoon girl. He seriously fell in love with her!

And another sailor moon girl to our rescue! There are like waitresses in the club and pour drinks for you!

We got her to come out with us in her uniform. Ha! She is just a little bundle of joy!

This was taken on the 27th December. Went to our regular cafe and celebrated Andys birthday. Everynight was seriously a binge fest and that night had reason to go doubly as hard. Only go doubly as hard on special occasions right!


We met these two girls during our ride on the lift to our apartments... nuff said!

Photo outside another club of Ed, I and several locals. At this stage we could drink bottles of chivas and martells! We have become alcohol tolerant. But lucky our fix was "DaTongSui", our local foot massage. This place was hectic! For Au$10 you get a whole body massage for one and half hours! Legit massage that is... not the sexual ones! Anyways theres internet, unlimited food and basically you can stay in your room for as long as you want. Sometimes we would get a massage and stay there overnight after a getting burnt out. Was the greatest! Anyways it was a good place to do more chilling, and making fun of this and that.

Heres me and Ai Ni, who is a manager at a club.

The boys outside another club. After getting down and dirty we made our way to our trusty hot pot place.

The boys again! Look at our energy, and this is 4 ina morning!



This was our last day in China and it was time to fwugen get out of there.

Think that will be all, besides I have more pics but I don't wana incriminate nobody else cept for myself.
