For sups we were invited by Andrea and Nick to a Tibetan resturant close to the silk (more expensive) district. Having been there before, Andrea was surprised at how much it had changed. Nothing like a good review in the Lonely Planet (LP) to dissolve the charm and ambience of a place.

Being the only group of euro tourists there we were treated to front row traditional entertainment (something out of ‘The Long Way Round’). Good but very loud so conversation was difficult. The food was good too – I ended up with a deep fried yak (hairy cow) steak.

Was a great evening but we all got carried away with the wine (thanks Nick). By the time we left, the staircase to the street was a challange. The subway home was also intersting. There are no doors between carriages (the whole train looks like one carriage) so you can see the train twist as it goes around corners. Even more intersting with 5 glasses of good red wine in you I promise.

By the time we got home I was feeling extremely rough – no more details on that ! I’m such a cheap date. Thanks again Andrea and Nick – great fun.
