My Interesting Night in Beijing

Britni texted me while I was still on the bus inquiring about when I would arrive in Beijing and to her my room number when I get settled. So, after I checked in I quickly texted her before I took the pictures of my room. Sleep was about to take me out with the quickness. She texted me they were watching a movie and were going to come back to the hostel to take a nap. We agreed to meet up for dinner.

I received a knock on my door at 7 p.m., and Brit tells me that they were across the hall in 409 (I was in 410). We both had a mini laughing fit; the four of us walked to the mall area near Sanlitun. It’s about a ten or fifteen minute walk straight ahead. During the walk, we were all talking and laughing. We grabbed dinner at Bite-a-Pita, and as soon as we sat down the mood shifted. Nicky and Eileen went silent and grabbed their phones. This is where the drama begins.
