A/N. Also, Beer.

Ok. Here's the deal: my vpn failed me for over a month, and by that time I was well into the begining of classes and stuff, so the blog just never got updated. So Here's what I'm going to do. I'll post a bunch of pictures of what I've been up to since then, and I'll post them all really soon, but that means no long descriptions, because if I put up nice long stories for everything, I'll never get my midterms done. Which would kind of suck. Really.

So here's the fist one: Qingdao (青岛), which was the two day over-night trip at the end of the Summer semester. We saw a brewery, lots of beer, ate food, lots of beer, climbed a mountain, lots of beer, there was a beach, lots of beer, a night club with a trampoline floor, and lots of beer. If I was in any way inclined to actually like beer, I may have enjoyed the trip just a little bit more. It was pretty fun anyway, though. Even if the entire city does smell like beer.

Qingdao brewery. Bet you guesses as much from the GIANT PACK OF BEER on the roof. No? Well, you have only yourself to blame.

A beer fountain. Fitting.

I don't know if this was meant to read "Careful! Staircase." or "Careful Staircase" but my conclusion is the same in any case. Was this sign put up in response to something? Do many people have problems with the stairs?

Not entirely sure why they had to warn people not to eat this...seems pretty self-explanatory to me.

Shiny beer-making stuff.

The brewery had a drunk room. Just in case anyone interested enough in beer to come see the factory and get free samples didn't know what being drunk was like. The tv screen on the wall is showing us crazy people inside obviously incapable of standing up.

I swear the camera is not tilted.

The night market sells puppies

It also sells loads of chuar (串).

And small turtles.

Some of the apartment buildings had the best paint jobs ever.

Still not entirely sure what the floating thing is above that building. We never could find it during the day.        Therefore, obviously aliens.

There is a reason that five out of the nine people you can see are asleep. That reason being basic college student stupidity, but still. There's a reason.
