AS WALLS GO, THIS ONE WAS PRETTY "GREAT!"
WHATEVER-DAY (Monday). We limited our beer intake last night to just five (or eight?) a piece (remember they're 650ml each) so we're feeling pretty good today. It also rained and thundered and lighteninged (we're speaking Chinese!) most of the night so we slept really well too. Anyway, if there is one thing the Chinese are REALLY good at (besides Kung Pao chicken), it's building walls. They build them around their houses, they build them around their cities - Hell, they've built one around their entire country! We thought it would be "Great" to see a "Wall" today!
We set off by subway for a hour or so to some stop somewhere near the edge of Beijing (sorta like the edge of nowhere!). From there we staggered around lost until finding the right bus stop (we were looking for bus #919 and EVERY F'ing bus had that number!) and then rode about two hours to Bat'lin. FOLKS, THIS IS THE GREAT WALL of CHINA! It's the only man-made thing in the world that is visible from space - just ask any astronaut you know! Richard Nixon only did two things when he visited China - see the Great Wall and buy three 12 year old boys for the night. Well, we saw the Great Wall and now Stacy is shopping!
When we finally got back to our hostel it was dark and the local authorities were waiting (NOT KIDDING!). It seems that our VISA's expired two days ago and they came looking for us. WE'RE BEING DEPORTED - NOT F'ing KIDDING! Our "cultural & social exchange" visit to China is now at an end. The 2008 Riding4Beer World Tour is moving on and after we have one more Budweiser (or Tsing Tao) we're sooooooo outta here...
VERY IMPORTANT! READ THIS YOU BASTARDS!
We are leaving China now and heading to Outer Mongolia. It's 30+ hours by train give or take (depending on yaks blocking the rails). WE WILL NOT POST TOMORROW, but have been told there is a satellite internet uplink in Ulaan Baatar (Capitol of Mongolia) so we will post the following day (depending on government censorship). Check back (PLEASE), but it will be a day (only - hopefully) before we can get back online. We have to cross the God Damn Gobi Desert so give us a break! - Just sayin...
OKAY! FOUR PICTURES AND A VIDEO - QUIT COMPLAINING!
Admit it! Now this is a "GREAT" wall! Stacy climbed higher than any of the wimp locals!
Kevin thought he saw some topless school girls! 30 seconds later Stacy was under arrest!

I do believe that you can see Caesar's Palace in Las Vegas from outer space. I also believe that one could jump the Great Wall with a motorcycle but they couldn't jump Caesar's. Take that you Chinese bricklayers!

HA HA!! Thanks Stacy! We're passing the hat at the bar to raise bail money for you. So far we've collected $1.34 in change so it might take a little while (Lowell threw in a button from his shirt and Marsha said "Stacy who?").
Love ya,
G
