SUNDAY!   Okay, so it's the sabbath and it's the day for church and preachin' and hallauh's!  WRONG!  It's China!  There aren't any heathen christians here, and very few of the other kind of christians either!  This is buddhist territory, baby!  And Sunday is just another day, except nobody works and everybody recovers from the crazy sex and alcohol filled night before.  It's sorta like America only without Cool-Whip (the night before), church (the morning after) and watching football on the couch (later in the day).

But folks, there is something that everyone does here on Sunday and that's go to the market.  No we don't mean the "supermarket," we mean the outdoor, spread across acres, blankets and stalls filled with stuff market - and since we were raised Catholic we've never really been good christians, so we're headed there too!  Now we don't have pictures or stories from there yet ("headed there" means we haven't been there yet!), but we do know it'll be hundreds of thousands of screaming commie Chinese people all practicing capitalism. 

In the meantime, let us tell you about yesterday.  We got up, we brushed out teeth, we took a shower, we put on our clothes, we...... okay, we'll skip a few things.  We went to the Beijing Llama Temple which is the largest lamasery (whatever the f*ck that is!) in Asia.  Basically, it cost $5 bucks to get inside, you couldn't take pictures, there weren't any llamas... or camels or any kind of animals, and there were a bunch of guys with shaved heads and orange robes wandering around chanting.  We thought we were back in that commune we lived in Oregon!  Anyway, here's the deal.  We don't have pictures of the Dolly (Parton) Llama, but we do have some pictures of the signs we've seen around town.  And isn't religion all about getting a "sign?".....

    There was only 1 passenger - and he got off!               It's a permanent sign!  Is it always windy in this park?

       
But we're from California and have a medical ID card!              A place where homless can lay in the park!
