Shangri-la quickie! (Marcus)

Quick hello from the tibetan town of Shangri-la. We're both feeling super tired from the altitude - tired and weird. It's a lovely little town. We're in this dingy little cafe getting Yunnan coffee - Yunnan being this province. In the corner of the room is a table full of guys and girls doing shots of...pepsi. Pepsi?! Nothing mixed with it that I can see, pouring straight from un-opened bottles?! One girl just downed a line of 5 shot glasses full of it...can't understand it.

We're flying back to Kunming first thing in the morning, then back to Wuxi by plane the day after. We're both keen to watch the Olympics opening ceremony as we've had nothing but Olympics here and well, it's about time they actually started! We need to find an online way to stream coverage somehow..if anyone knows of a good way - even if it requires paying for it, we're all ears!

Bye!

You go easy there!

We noticed later they had dice with them and were playing some kind of drinking game. We have to assume that they were playing it 'just for fun' as Chinese love drinking games and obviously toned down for the girls present, so um yeah, pepsi shooters! Kinda stupid really :)
