Returning to Beijing tonight assuming all goes to plan. Staying in a pre-revolutionary brothel that's been converted to a hotel. It sounds pretty interesting, and best of all it's cheap! Don't know whether I should cut my losses and come straight home tomorrow or make the most of my being here. After all, I did spend about NZ$2k to get here, so I should really take time to enjoy myself. Getting sick and tired of net cafes over here. Shitty keyboards, uncomfortable chairs, smoke being blown in my face my several patrons. Feel like yanking out the mouse and strangling them with the cord. Not much funny stuff today.
