excercise in beijing

i have been running at night, to and then around tian'amen square.
also swimming and soccer,
i also got a road bike and ride it around beijing, although it's hard with polution in the air, wind, and other bicyclists and pedestrians, but i'm getting the kilometers in.

I htink my mom is gonna come visit me in China.

i can do handstands better now, maybe stand for 5 seconds and take a few steps.

i am gravitating towarda a raw diet.
at least much less processed foods

in beijing

im in beijing.
i played soccer a few times at an indoor field that is outside, for like 1 dollar a day.
every1 was pretty bad and the field was so slippery, but it was excercise.
p.s. there is lots of polution in beijing.
the field is pretty neat though, its a big sportspark in the midst of tall buildings
also i play ti jienzi everyday, its like chinese hacky sack but they use a weighted badminton shuttle cock.

i am learning xianqi which is chinese chess.

i go running at night, near tian'amen square, which is really fun.
food sucks.
MSG
OIL
processed foods
white rice
white bread

blah

i usualy eat tofu with veggies, or bananas and peanuts and apples and pairs and juice
pistachios, and tea.

yeah.

triathlons are cool too

traveling china

i have been in beijing for some time.
i tried to find an apartment and couldn't

i met some cool people (sweedish people) and we are going to travel around china together.
shang hai, qumin, and dali.

this will be a few weeks.

after that traveing, i'm not exactly sure what i will do.

i might not right much over the next couple weeks, but rest asured i am safe and having fun.

I am learning "jienza" it's like chinese hacky sack, but played with a weighted shuttle-cock type ball. Also I am learning chinese chess (like western chess, but a little more complicated i think). and my Mandarin is improving steadily.

I basically have stopped playing poker for a couple months now, and it's really relaxing without it. I haven't played soccer yet, but I plan to soon.

ANyway i love you all and will talk to you in a few weeks.
