YAY-JING!

I'm a little slow with this post so excuse me. But for a quick second let me thank all of my readers and all of those who have been giving the positive feedback, i'm not goin to lie, i LOVE it!

Well good news! I got my travel buddy back. Ann and I hit the tourist trail hard again. Before we went to the track meet Ann and I decided to hit up a park where I could see all the way around the Beijing including the Forbidden City. It was a pretty nice park. We then ventured over to the track where it was how do you say... PHENOMENAL. Our seats were slightly past the finish line. The highlight of the meet was most def watching Usain Bolt run sub 9.7 while showboating as well as the shock of seeing Tyson Gay NOT make the finals. The atmosphere in the stadiumafter Usain set a world record at the Olympics was something that is completely indescribable... I wish that I could describe it in words how it was for y'all but sorry, it's something you just had to be present for. I'll give you a quick synopsis, random people hugging each other, high fives all around, screaming, cheering, people dancing to Jamaican music... (ok, well maybe that was just me)

Afterwards it was my boy Durrell's birthday celebration. A group of us left the track meet and went to the middle of town where the it went DOWN! We went to this bar called Que Bar. It was a nice little spot where some of the drink glasses were actually ice. Check out Erica modeling one of these wonderful glasses...

Anyway, at some point I'm not sure when, but Erica and I began a conversation about the "Yay Area" and Beijing... maybe something about us coming from there to here... Not quite sure how it started however, It ended with us coming up with a new phrase that has a copyright pending... The official term describing people getting "hyphy" in Beijing... YAYJING! Anyway...

It was a real nice crowd of people who were hanging there for the birthday festivities. it was most def a fun time! The shirt that Money Marj gave Durrell for his birthday was priceless. (check out the shirt at the top of the page) Good people good times can't beat that!

Afterwards we went to Bar Blue aka blue bar aka toads.... I also had a realization that there is a club like this in every town not just in America, but in the WORLD! As Ben from Yale said... "There's a Toads in every town" We stayed there and danced the night away and it was SO MUCH fun, the rug at the place wasnt just cut up, it was DESTROYED! Anyway, the night was all good, until we had a lil disaster that was probably my fault... sorry Lovely Luci! Anyway, while the night ended on a sour note, It was still a GREAT time and i'm pretty sure that we held it down for D's birthday! for now... That's all


Thought of the day... Maybe people in China aren't staring at me because I'm weird NOT just because I'm black
