You don’t get chips with it do you

Monday 27th November 2006

The joys of travelling doesn’t always come with chips, or obnoxious english travellers who want chips with everything in the middle of China. Perhaps they need to try rice chips, noodle chips or dog’s brains chips, something that I have crossed off my shopping list.

It’s nice to relax at the hostel, as it’s only costing just over £1 a night for a bed, a decent meal is about 50p and free hot water everywhere (this you find across China even in train stations and airports) means the tea I brought with me is free (still need my home comforts of a good old cup of Typhoo tea even though I am trying the local tea delights as well)

So a bit of time out to geek – make the most of free wireless internet. There is also a computer with free music exchange on it.

Trying to clear this sore throat I have at the moment. Some honey may do the trick its only about 30p from the supermarket down the road.

Geeked this evening as an English guy had lost all his music on the music exchange computer, so I lent him my music collection (we liked the same music, lots of 1980s and indie stuff). Also put some of my stuff on the hostel computer, glad to hear people had put some of it on later – see my music tastes aren’t that bad after all.

Still cold, debating whether to stay here or move on, I was going to go up the mountains for a night where there is a temple or ten million but I am templed out now, so I may see if I can change my flight tomorrow and leave on Wednesday.
