billybot Posted November 4, 2005 at 05:34 AM Report Share Posted November 4, 2005 at 05:34 AM What do you people do for fun in China? I know studying and working is a continuous blast, but what do you do for fun afterwards and on the weekends? I remember when I was there basketball was always a favorite and a good way to meet Chinese people. Anyone else ball? Any other sports, organized or otherwise? Anybody hike around Beijing or other places in China? Overnighters? Bowl? Mahjong? Bike? Kites? What do you do???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XiongTao Posted November 4, 2005 at 07:49 PM Report Share Posted November 4, 2005 at 07:49 PM I used to go horse riding!! Not a sniff of safety gear to be seen either! Another good one is taekwondo, if you are in dongbei.. you get to meet up with the locals and have a laugh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nephridium Posted November 6, 2005 at 03:47 AM Report Share Posted November 6, 2005 at 03:47 AM Hi there. Xiong Tao, where did you go horseback riding? I'm looking for something like that in Beijing - how much would the lessons usually cost here? I was in Inner Mongolia last month and realized that I *really* need to brush up on my riding skills Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karmakid Posted November 10, 2005 at 03:46 AM Report Share Posted November 10, 2005 at 03:46 AM there are lotsa things u can do, the only real problem youre confronted with is which one to choose. In my apartment complex in Beijing there is a swimmingpool, pooltables, tabletennis tables, tenniscourt in the yard, in school there are badminton, basketball and volleyboll courts. So sportwise there is alot to choose from, havent found any indoor climbing yet though. Outside there is supposed to be mountainbike-trails and decent hiking trails. Karaoke, movies etc, so theres really not that much that I miss other than the ocean..... sailing.... diving... I try to get my needs fullfilled by the indoor swimmingpool but its just not tha same as swimming/diving in the ocean. /karmakid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
