Violated and duped on my last night....

So for my last night in Beijing, we went to have dinner at Banana Leaf. We have Banana Leaf's in the states, but none quite like this one. Upon entry, the restaurant looked nice, and even had stuffed alligators with their jaws tied shut, to make them look real. The food was good, but what really set this place apart from others was the live music. There was a musical staff that was equipped with 2 guitarists and various singers and dancers. Now, I'm no Sherlock, but I'm pretty sure that both male singers were quite fond of the male species. The team was so gracious and had the group come back three times to sing in our room. It was quite strange, as the lead singer was using a fake cucumber as a microphone, and decided he wanted to hug and caress all the guys in our group. I've never been so violated in my life. Here are a few pics:

I think allan actually enjoyed this

the entire time I was swatting that cucumber away

After dinner, we decided to head back to my hotel for a little farewell party. We picked up some drinks from the local 7-11, and played games and enjoyed my last night in Beijing. Thanks to everyone who came, I had a blast, and packing at 3am with a slight buzz was definitely a challenge.

So Chrissy, like me, as quite the small eyes. She thought it would be fun to take a "small eyes" picture with me. However, she thought she would be clever and trick me into taking another small eyes picture, where she in fact, opened her eyes as big as she could. View the results below:

totally EOF chrissy!

Thanks everyone for a great last night in Beijing. I will never forget that in my six weeks here, I finally got a "happy ending" from a restaurant singer. I miss you guys already. And to Chrissy, Allan, Xiang, Kunan, Chunhua, and Sunny, we'll continue the festivities when you guys are in the states.
