CS and Snow!





One of David and My favourite pastimes of late has been going to player Counter Strike at the 24 hour Internet Bar at the end of the street. Yes instead of exploring China, trying new cultures and experiencing what it really is like to live in a foriegn country, we lock ourselves in an internet bar for hours on end playing computer games.

It's actually not quite as Geeky as it might sound and we have made quite a few new friends whilst being there. It's also quite funny watching Dave's students squirm, as they see their teacher walk in. The Kids are not allowed out in the evenings but they sneek out and spend all night - 6pm to 6am- in the Net Bar before going to school the following day. If the school found out then I think they would be almost definitely be expelled.

Anyhow, one night after a long session on the computers and a few beers Dave and I left the Net Bar expecting to find the same dirty old street that always awaited us. Not So. In the 4 or 5 hours we had been in there the whole street had been completely covered in about a foot of snow. We couldn't believe it. It was quite a strange feeling walking down the deserted street at 3am with no one else around in crisp fresh snow.
