7/28/2008: Lazy Sundays

It's truly amazing how tired I was after the Great Wall hike.
Yesterday was sunday and a very good one at that because my roommates had the day off and I could barely walk.  I mean sounds great, right?  
Sam, one of my roommates, Diane, another NBC runner, and I went to this amazing french place for brunch.  Diane's lemon ricotta pancakes were amazing and I'm definitely trying the Chocolate Brioche French Toast.  Wowza!  


The restaurant doubles as a night club/bar at night (the name changes too, china is weird like that) so we got to sit at this really cool booth that you take your shoes off and climb in.  We decided this booth was more comfortable than our mattresses here.  

Then the three of us headed up to the 798 Art District (they both had never been before), I showed them some of the more popular things, but we ended up sitting at cafes most of the time because we were all so tired.  That's when we decided it was time to hit up one of the millions of spas they have here.  We ended up at Bodhi where we each got an hour and a half massage for $35 USD and it was good too!  Also if you go there during the week before 6pm, you can get an hour massage for $14...I mean really now, what is stopping me from going back there everyday before I start work?
