Lunch
Kelly Milkies joined up with Loda in the lobby. I overheard something about Loda thinking Akke jumped on him in bed and kissed him on the lips, but that was just Kelly:

s4 and EGM followed suit:

On our way to get lunch! I'm really good at taking pictures of the back of heads if you didn't notice:
![[image loading]](http://puu.sh/2ZsEq.jpg)
New guy on the left is CR, Carson's colleague. He said he plays LoL because his individual skill is low and everyone curses at him in DotA 2:

Found a really nice restaurant, Mike being Mike:

Carson ordering for us, we trust him:

TC and my red backpack:

Mike using a spoon! We even taught him to use a knife later that day:
![[image loading]](http://puu.sh/2ZsKt.jpg)
I finally got my Asian on and took pictures of the food. Though I had to yell "STOP, NO!" every time the plates came out. This was soooo good, definitely the favorite.

Pretty similar to KBBQ:
![[image loading]](http://puu.sh/2ZsNf.jpg)
This is why we love Carson:

Basically scrambled eggs and some shrimp:

On our way to buy some snacks:
![[image loading]](http://puu.sh/2ZsUo.jpg)
My haul, these looked good:

The traffic is insane and we almost died again (Videos coming after g-1):

Pastries:

Anything with strawberries or kiwi, I WANT:

![[image loading]](http://puu.sh/2ZsZ7.jpg)

TC doesn't get to represent Canada.... and no one cared:
![[image loading]](http://puu.sh/2Zth4.jpg)
Up in the bleachers, the players will be seated down here during the rest times:
![[image loading]](http://puu.sh/2Ztin.jpg)
Lights turned off:
Ferrari is not amused:
![[image loading]](http://puu.sh/2Ztmz.jpg)
I see Sam's resemblance to Mr. Potato head now:
![[image loading]](http://puu.sh/2ZtnC.jpg)
Ferrari got up after resting for several minutes:
![[image loading]](http://puu.sh/2Ztqn.jpg)

Getting on stage for rehearsal:

Kelly took a nice team picture for us:

On stage:

The stadium G-1 is held at:
![[image loading]](http://puu.sh/2ZtEn.jpg)
Sam got asked to take a fan picture, promptly after they started walking away he took a picture of them. I, subsequently, took a picture of Sam taking a picture of the people who took a picture with him:
![[image loading]](http://puu.sh/2ZtFj.jpg)
Getting ready to leave:
![[image loading]](http://puu.sh/2ZtHg.jpg)
Turns out Sam got both Xiao8 and Yao:
Probably the last day I can do a ton of pictures, we'll see. Super tired but I wanted to post this up. A lot of video footage I can't share, such a shame. We'll see after G-1.
Cheers

I really enjoyed the pictures and your captions.
Also I'm starting to like Mike more and more. We all now his (facial) hair. But a shirt with a V cut? He must be some next level hipster.
|

|
What's your hair doing on Mike's chest? 
Cool pics, have fun!

|
Im just looking at these pictures and thinking how awesome the chinese team uniforms are.

That woman cannot keep her hands to herself.

The real pics that everyone wants to see are those of Bulba, Xiao8, and Yao after they went back to the hotel.

How come there is no way to practice? Is it because of schedule or something else? I would imagine that it shouldn't be hard to find a net cafe there in China; they probably abound there!
|
All of that food looks so good. (so do the other pictures of course!)
|
ahaha, awesome blog Fluff! That last pick was a great finisher too, you are getting good at this!

I have heard that there is a law against foreigners using internet cafes in China
|
I wonder that justifies such a law. They don't want foreigners on Chinese internet or something?
|
Is this the Dota2 team? Anyways kool pics
|
I can't look at mike without cracking up. That stache is amazing.
Thanks Fluff, great pics.
|
lol Bulba is such a player.
New guy on the left is CR, Carson's colleague. He said he plays LoL because his individual skill is low and everyone curses at him in DotA 2:
lmao

There's no such law. The fact is a Chinese ID is strictly required to get into a net cafe, mainly to keep away non-adults. This is a very strict law in China since an extremely serious net cafe accident in Beijing 2002.
The thing a foreigner should do is to prove he's an adult with a government-issued photo ID, and try to convince the manager that the Administration for Industry and Commerce won't fine him for accepting customers without Chinese ID in this case.

so many good desserts. lucky!

Is it possible for non-chinese on a short visit to acquire a Chinese ID? You make it sound like its pretty much impossible for a visitor to get into a netcafe.

It almost feels like you are there. Thanks for yet another excellent set of epic pics and texts.
|
That last picture man.. add the Bangbros sign and you change the meaning completely. 
Nice pictures, got so hungry upon seeing that pork..

No way foreigners can get Chinese ID cards. Even Chinese need a lot to do in the application process.

In this article, author says:
1. upon entrance the internet cafe needs to take a photo of you for the Public Security Bureau
2. Foreigners need to use their passport.
Surely, you must be at least 18 years old.
