Hey guys,

Chris and I woke up early this morning and since we are both feeling like we just had a couple of cans of Red Bull, going back to sleep again is not an option. We are both pretty pumped about getting to play today and see how we match up versus the Chinese teams on Chinese soil.

A couple of days ago we, together with our Chinese managers/friends and Marc from HLTV.org, went to have Hot Pot, a really famous (and spicy) dish from this area. You basically have a boiling spicy mix (looks a bit like mixed chili and oil) in the middle of the table and just cook things in it. The Europeans had a lot of meat cooked in the spicy mix and dipped in garlic, while the Chinese opted for some more exotic (at least for me!) things like frogs. It was probably the best thing I have ever had in China and at the end of the meal I felt the chili burning in my mouth. Mmmmmm.

Our Chinese friend Bruce took some pictures at our dinner. Click here to see the pictures!

Wish us good luck,

Harley
