The Hotel

The next part of the trip that I want to tell everyone about has nothing to do with the beauty of the mountain or the history that was there but it does give you an idea of how much fun I am having. The fun started at dinner where it just happened to be two people from our groups birthday. So we made a big deal out of it and had birthday cake while we where in the midde of this huge dinning room at 5 star restaraunt. It was something to see the Chinese people that where there where loving it but the group of French tourists I do not think enjoyed it as much as we did. It was funny because we ended up singing happy birthday to them in chinese while the Chinese people sang happy birthday in English which is strange but true. After that we all went to the hotsprings near by and almost drank the place out of beer. What are we supposed to do we are American college kids and it was Friday night. Anyway after that is when it got real crazy. We all wore our robes to the hot springs so after that we decided to go to "disco bar" at the hotel which looked like it was close but wasn't there just wasn't any one there. So there we where 10 Americans half of us in bath robes trying to convince them to open the bar. Finally we got enought people for them to open it up and we ended up dancing and drinking in our bath robes until they kicked us out at midnight. I do not think they like to encourage drinking here because of the mountains buddhist history. Anyway after the bar closed 3 other friends of mine 1 in his bath robe just like me went to go eat a late dinner with one of our Chaperone. Who we found out was a former child TV star in China. We then ended up doing one of my favorite things after late night of drinking which is talk politics till 1 in the morning. Oh and at the restaraunt i saved a fishes life after it jumped out of the tank. It was a night I will not soon forget.
