Day 1 in China

Im quite pissed off, jus as a i was finishing my blog my time expired and my session finished, however i thought i had like another 5minutes, aneway it could have something to do with the fact i was dissing the goverment!! LOL

Aneway ill be briefer than my previous unseen post. On the plane there was a chinese man being deported, well scary as he was screaming and crying on the plane, but he stopped once we were in the air. He was saying someone told me how he had his wife and kids left back in england it was kinda sad..

I got screwed majorly, the chinese passport people thought i had a fake passports and took me away, i was queueing for 45 minutes in the passport queue and had to wait even more wit these idiots checking my passport under different lights!!

Then i get to the hotel and there is no rooms, cuz of my early arrival (7am!) so i wait til 10am to get a room, fucking joke!!

I slept all day, den I went to Cow Street Mosque which is closed, so i go to Ni Jiue Mosque which is being redeveloped, however it is still beautiful and something i never seen before, the blend of arabic and chinese architecture is quite breathtaking...

Then after praying i went to a muslim supermarket and was completly grossed out by their meat section i was tempted to become a vegie, then i was the golden arches!! I think ill stick to fish and vegatables this holiday!!

Also something quite funny, i got a simcard to make cheaper calls and each sim card is different dependant on the numbers, like if it had a 6,8,9 its a bit more with 6 being the most expensive however if it has a 4 then its like half or a third of the price of the others, as its considered unlucky!! So i naturally picked a 4 being a cheap bastard!!

Ohhh i forgot to mention talking about big brother China, when i log onto the internet in the cafe i have to give my passport, in case i do anything, lol!! its so ridiculous, i mean i have heard stories but this is just too much!! The whole internet thing wont let me go to any english speaking sites, so i have to email this to Bilal and SK who help put it up!!

Also thanks SK for taking me to the aiport yesterday u were great help!!

Aneway i best luv ya and leave u, but something else i want to comment on, is how i am not allowed to access bbc online, which i think is a joke! DAM GOVERMENT

Take care
Asif

ps. I go to the great wall of china tomow iA
