taking the bus like a pro…!

there are a bunch of really cool stores but you cant take photos in them! well you could, you just gota really ninja it. like i did, hence it came out blurry

THE CHINESE PEOPLE LOVE CHURROS

braving the subway to go to wangfujing

if you want to eat street cart food but are afraid of the safety levels, these more organized street food might, MIGHT put your heart at rest. there is an over abundance of fried bugs for tourists to eat. but they dont buy any and just take pictures. but dont worry, there’s also a hell load of alcohol near by to help wash it down.

there are also an abundance of world famous brands, in fact they were having some sort of a brand festival. but also goddamn it there is a GAP. but i think this gap is better than the US ones because they ship more of the Japanese styles than the American styles, though there were similar items as well.

Q: do you know what that is in the black box?
A: because of the over abundance (and unnecessary) development of consumer vehicles, there is a dire need of parking spaces. in the older apartment buildings, there weren’t any parking built in because nobody had cars back then. so they made these metal claw things that are bolted into the ground and the owner of that spot has a key to the bolt and renders it flat so that they could park when they get home. yep…

so that’s my public plea for a reduction of home-owned vehicles in china, it’s rending beijing undriveable, and untaxi-able and i have to sit in traffic …. and watch the meter bounce up and up ;__;

yup…
here’s also a bad video i took while in a car/bus
