Turandot

I made it to Turandot this time. The stage was huge on the Olympic Stadium (picture) and there were about 20.000 people watching it. The actors were all Chinese but they sang in Italian. The songs were subtitled in Chinese so i could only understand some of it. If it wasn't for my awesome translator Hyan i would probably not have understood the show at all. I don't have any pictures because i lost the battery of my camera last week while partying in Sanlitun Village. We left the Turandot just before it ended to avoid the Huge crowd, otherwise it would have been impossible to catch a cab.

After Turnadot it was time for Karaoke and clubbing! Went to Karaoke with some British friends of mine, after 3 hours of jolly singing we went to a club called XIU. XIU is a really fancy club in the center of Beijing, no to mention expensive. It's decorated old fashioned Chinese and looks really cool, some pics.
We found a table witch still had half-full glasses of drinks because some people before us had not finished them. My broke ass British friends saw it as an opportunity to get free drinks so they poured all the half full drinks into their own glasses. So Finnish teenager stuff :D

After Xiu we went to China Doll for some dancing but it was really smoky there. We inhaled to lovely fumes of smoke for about an hour and then went to McDonalds. Outside McDonalds i stepped on some dogshit or some other shit and now the car, carpet and my shoes smells like hell. Got some cleaning to do...

All in all a very great night out in the city that never sleeps, Beijing!
