Beijing is Alive at Night!!!

I am getting a lot of attention from the public.  I have gotten accustomed to being stared at.  Several people have stricken up conversation with me in the street, which has lead to wandering around the city getting to know them.  It is a bit strange, as i have been skeptical (used to New York City) where you just don't talk to strangers...or at least should usually not stop.

I went out last night to a club (based on a recommendation) and stayed out all night.  If you want to come home after 11pm on the subway, you simply can't :)  So, if you are limited to the subway like i currently am, your options are a) leave the bar/club at 10pm the latest or b) leave at 5am - i chose the latter.  It was a fantastic night, and I hope all of Beijing and China's nightlife is this fun :)

My hosts just finished cooking me an amazing traditional Chinese dinner, so I thanked them and did the dishes!! :)

Some random observations:  I am realizing how hard it is for the Chinese to distinguish words in our language.  "Korea" and "career" DO sound similar when said quickly, just like "quiet" and "quite" - I just never thought about it before...perhaps I just had to be in the situation to think of it :)  I always thought that the tones in Chinese were so similar-sounding for English-speakers, but never thought of the other-way around!  Quite an interesting thought!  Also, the Chinese often eat meals without having a drink, I'm dyin here! hahaha
