In brief

So Friday after finally getting Mr procrastination ready and fed we headed to Xiangtan. In the metro I had a typical me moment and managed to drop my brand new travel card down the bastard toilet. In the moment it took me to think 'oh god I'm going to have to put my hand in there' it slid straight down the hole, as I now have learnt to use squatters the correct way, it clearly did me no favours! Some form of luck would be a women heard me scream in anger in the toilet and somehow I managed to convey what I had done and she got me up stairs and through security with out having to pay a fine! Silver linings and all that jazz. So we made our way to the coach station and Jack made a fan called Sam who was so in ore of his face, he told him he looked famous so I though fuck it! I said "You know Sam, he really is famous in England!" His face was worth Jacks glare. I then stood back and listen to him explain how he played a stable boy in the black women lol! After finally getting on a bus that took an hour to arrive and making our way to meet Noël we had decided our first port of call would be Cindy's cafe to get some duck and cabbage! And pop into see Diablo! These two things ticked off the list we head to Marlene's for beer and back to the boys! The drinking commenced, the girls arrive and the night begins.

All very much in a blurr we end up in a night club. With in minutes of being in there me and the girls have a plan, grab a glass and let's go get some free drinks. So that's what we did after our 2nd unsuccessful attempt, we was in. We made friends with a mass group of Chinese people who loved us. Currently on stage right next to us was a professional dancer, obviously paid to dance on stage. Well after a few 100 gambays! I jumped on stage and brought the full A team up with me! Only later was I told this didn't bode well with the actual dancer and she was found sitting cross armed at the side of the stage unimpressed! Everything gets a bit messy after all the spinning, dancing, jumping and salasa dancing. The next thing I remember is being lost with jack and heading to a bar on the opposite side of the road. In the shady place Jack took over the music some how wangled yet again more free beer and peanuts and then.... And then we are given a Samarui sword to play with as long as we wear a silly hat!!! The excitement on the boys face lol!!! After this or before I can't quite remember we head back over to Soho and find my chinese friends who invite us into there KTV room for more free beer. Well if any of you reading this know Jack you would know that he has a fetish for karaoke but he's just not that amazing at it. Half way through murdering a traditional chinese song someone dashes a bottle at his head! Misses, obviously or I wouldn't have found it so funny. It was just the reaction. The utter shock and demanding down the mic "who threw that" he then slams the mic down and we run out. Jack now covered in beer, we head down stairs and find Noël on the sofa. Not sure what happened after this. I was told we got back decided to have shots of tequila we have one and I literally pass out! The wild one I am!

The initial plan was to head back to changsha for Saturday but Noel mangaged to give his phone away and Beasht basiclly ruined his foot so we decided to stay another night.

I wake up bright eyed and bushy tailed along with Noël and we head out for the water run. At this point I'm obviously still pissed as I'm walking the streets in my pjs happy as Larry.  We get back and decide it's time for food, off to Bennies we go. Then we go for hair cuts I say we I mean the boys! 15¥ for a trim is unreal especially as it's by a man with the tallest up do Iv seen to date. We head home and then the festering begins! 

We Mong out and wait for the rest of the clan to arrive and the girls to return. And then head out ready to meet Shaun! 

Now Shaun is a living leg-end but at this point I'm dying and the boy decided to head to Xiangtan with no bastard phone. So you can only imagine how well that turns out when we're in a massive city with no form of communication hanging out my arse. We decide to split up and start the search. After I have done my search I head back to base point to see Jack closing in on a very strange child lol. Nothing off, the boy was just weird and Jack was trying to shake his hand. We stand waiting, expressing mass amounts of positive mental attitude! Obviously two blonde white people stood in a busy area attracts looks. Jack says "those 3 girls keep looking and staring I bet they want a picture" he walks a little closer to them as they have been hovering for a whole now and says do you want a picture they say "Yes" and then point to me! Hilarious!

Anyway ten minutes later low and behold who do we see! Only Noël and Shaun! Shaun arrives with all his essentials 2 bottles of beer. The night can finally begin.

We head to lesbian central and I try and get over my first beer. It's a slow process but I get there. Then it's off to Marlene's again for the bants and beers and then the boys. The drinking begins and it's really not easy! Then the bijuie comes out mixed with pear juice! Actually a master invention. Drinking games commence and I'm finally over the worst of it! Or so I think.

The club we plan to go to is shut so we end up in the same place as the night before it's like déjà vu. Except I have a proper ebb at one point. That over I then jump back on stage and start going crazy with Shaun! I must learn that even when I am drunk I am never cool! And there was video evidence to reiterate this! I litrally had a glance and that was enough.

So after madness drunk dancing where next, but the Shoa Koa! Amazing as per! We realised towards the end we had lost Noël and Jack so we went looking and found them in a tent full of chinese people, so clearly we join in! The Chinese love to give their drink away! After a heart warming chat with Noël, who by the way is one of the nicest blokes in the entire world (as well as being on top form when it comes to Irish history)! 

We decided to walk home as it's actually possible to do this in Xiangtan very excitable for some reason we (I say we mainly me) hopped, skipped ran and galloped home like wild children. With the exception of jack! Jack had got blatoed! Completely and utterly hammered! Not his finest hour! But anyway we made it back and some how the drinking continued and photos we're taken to create that epic masterpiece 

Eventually bed time called cuddles commenced and the night ended!

Then morning began and 3 hours of floor time fillers started and lying down dancing. Along with a complete monologue of In Bruges and another Irish lesson! 

When it was time to depart and I had actually stood up! I realised I was in a seriously bad place! Not even Bennies could fix me! Soon as we got to the station our bus was full but another arrived and Jade clevererly managed to get the back seat enabling me to lie down again. All was right again until I had to get my bus home! Long story short I made it and I'm alive :)
