I walked on the Great Wall of China, NBD.

Do they really need to advertise it on a t-shirt? I thought it was pretty obvious.

This is by far the best menu I have seen in China so far. I mean, “Brain Flowers”? What in the fuck even is. “Days Eviscerated” is another good one. So is “Green reserve the spear.”

But my personal favourite? “Fish Lips.”

I kind of wish we’d tried those now.

Taken at a hot pot restaurant in Chengdu, Sichuan, China.

The Giant Buddha of Leshan. Largest carved Buddha statue in the world, carved right out of the side of the cliff, 1200 years ago. Pretty impressive, if you’re into that sort of thing.

Some weird Chinese guys took their picture with me at the bottom. So creepy.

Leela: Do you know what it says?

Fry: Yeah, I asked a cop once. It means “Up yours, kid.”

Let’s go to China!

AND SHOP AT THE GAP

PANDAS! Pandas pandas pandas, pandas pandas pandas pandas. Pandas, pandas. Pandas. Pandas pandas pandas? Pandas pandas! Pandas pandas pandas pandas pandas.

That word has lost all meaning to me now. Pandas.

Everyone walking around downtown Beijing has their umbrellas out.

Oh, right, I should mention:

IT’S NOT EVEN RAINING

Tiger Leaping Gorge! Named after a tiger that didn’t exist who never jumped across the gorge because it is a made-up story and it’s stupid. Sorry, I’m just bitter about how stupidly hard it was to climb straight up the mountains for six hours in the blazing sun. But I guess the pictures were worth it? I dunno, more mountains, big deal. Seen one, seen ‘em all.

Yep, still bitter.

Photos from Lijiang, the ancient city, sort of. I think most of it’s been redone, but at least they kept the old-timey-looking architecture. There were lots of examples of Naxi (the local hill-tribe) hieroglyphics around, too (the picture above of the hanging plaques have hieroglyphics on them). They have the only living hieroglyphic language in the world. Did I just blow your mind? Because, like me, you didn’t realize there were other hieroglyphic languages besides the Ancient Egyptians’?

Oh and if you can guess what the “small cage” business is I’ll give you $100. Only if you can’t read Chinese, of course.
