Beijing update !

Today i spent one of my best days here till now.
Had to go to office today (a saturday! ) for some urgent and was bored coz i wanted to do some shopping on the weekend.
But im glad i went because i got introduced to a developer there called "Harvey" who is a guitarist !

Its true they say ...Music has no barriers ..we bonded instantly :-)

Though he could'nt understand most of my english and vice versa but we still understood.
He asked : you listen "Steve Vai"
I said : ya ! you "Joe Satriani " ( my grammar has gone for a toss here lol)
Well after that we just talked and talked about music ... Chinese ,Indian,Metal,Rock ,Blues, guitars, drums ,instruments ...

Then i made him listen to "Bhaynak Maut" :-d he totally freaked out !
He just said "Very Heavy" lol
He just loved Indian Ocean and Alms for Shanti.

So we decided to go shopping together for some music and a distortion pedal for myself!
He took me to this amazing guitar shop in a basement downtown ...ive never seen so many guitars and instruments in one place!
Thats Harvey gleaming with the guitars




Then we went to this music store and i got music video DVD's ,well since it was so bloody cheap .. 7 yuan for each i.e just @ 40 INR !!!
I got 20 :-d




Had a early chinese dinner at 5.30 pm !
Hey i can eat with chopsticks too,most restuarants out there dont have forks :-d



Tomorrow another office colleague " Miles " is taking me to the Great Wall .yaay!!

p.s: i just love dumplings , chinese have em for breakfast ...lucky guys!
