Beijing Day 3

I had a bad start on Day 3 (last day of the workshop), wake up with a Tummy ache, most probably the tummy still cannot get used the temperature fluctuation. Went to Business Review from morning to 5pm. Long long day, with very frequent trips to visit the toilet. What is worse is we are having review at 2nd storey and the toilet is at the 1st, and my thigh muscle are aching from the Great Wall climb. Can't eat alot during lunch. But by the evening it was much better, though there are still frequent sharp pains.
Went 全聚德 at Bar Street (took 1hr taxi to be there), for Peking duck, the dinner was very good, alot dishes, we ordered 白酒 (Chinese Liquor) again, though this time is a different brand as the 1st night, not as nice. They have alot of performance, acrobats, magic, 变脸, singing and puppet show, to entertain the guest, quite entertaining.
After Dinner, some of us went to massage, which is somewhere near the hotel, the place was quite hard to find, hidden in a building at some alley. The place is abit strange, its super pink. The lighting are pink, the walkway is dark and reddish pink. The massage was not bad, quite comfortable.
After massage, some we went back to the hotel was thinking of drinking at the hotel lounge, but its closed, and the hotel staff suggested we go to a pub down the road. So we went to hunt for the place, by then, about only 11 of us went. The pub is at a place we never would have thought of. We followed the direction the hotel staff gave and end up a supermarket and was shock, so the guys go scout around and realise that the pub is below the super market. The basement was very interesting, alot of shops (though all are closed) but its all the sign board are lighted up very nicely. The pub we went to is 24hrs, we ordered draft beers and finger food initially, and later we ordered a Black Label, its the first time I drink that on the rock, usually I would put mixer. Its better than I thought. Later we played the '7 clap game', I am very lucky, I did not lose at all. Though I was put into the 'Idiot Club' (for people who lose more than 3 times) cos the 'founder' of the club is called Gene Lee, same pronounciation as my name -.-" But they are a bunch of fun people. Had alot of fun drinking with them. Spent about 100 rmb (20+ SGD) per pax on drinking.
