THURSDAY!  Let us be the first to say “good morning” to you from Beijing, China.  The Riding4Beer® 2011 China Tour has been here one full, entire, complete and total day without any issues at our hostel, any complaints from angry boyfriends, girlfriends, husbands, wives, moms or dads, and without ANY problems involving the police, the Red Guard or any Communist Party Officials.  WHAT ARE WE DOING WRONG?  24 hours trouble free is an all-time record for us!  And it’s not that we didn’t try.

We set out yesterday on some city bus to have lunch and shop a little at the Harley-Davidson dealership (the only one in Asia).  Okay, let’s be clear about this.  Every day in Beijing 20 million people (not exaggerating) need to ride a bus somewhere to work, play or f*ck around.  We’re in that last category, but riding a bus in this city is like a sardine volunteering to hop in the can!  Look, we don’t mind being pressed up against a bunch of smokin’ hot unsuspecting Chinese folks, but it’s so crowded we can’t get our hands free to cop a feel!

Anyway, by the time we were extruded from the bus we were hungry and it was time for lunch.  While Stacy opted for a simple dirty bottle of warm yak milk, Kevin went for the live scorpions on a stick – NOT KIDDING.  After lunch we struggled - REALLY STRUGGLED - across Tiananmen Square shouting “FREE TIBET YOU COMMIE BASTARDS!”  Folks, we never made it to Harley, we barely made it back to our hostel, and there’s a lesson to learned here – never drink yak milk when a bathroom isn’t near, when eating live scorpions don’t drop one down your pants, and NEVER try to cop a feel on a bus in Beijing when you can’t see where your hands are going…

                          4 PICS AND A VIDEO!   CAN YOU BELIEVE IT!  GOD BLESS THE COMMUNIT PARTY!

         
 EVERY bus requires a line, pushing and shoving!                    No room to even cop a feel - What a ripoff!

       
    Sign says, "No cars in tunnel that will explode!"                 Stacy in Tiananmen  and her "recycled" yak milk!
