elephant ass1

Spend a day walking on the water in Tianjin with a legendary elephant.  
A zoologist estimates his ass to be approximately 80 years old, but we’ll find out when we walk on water with him and the rest of his Tianjin Hash Herd.

WHEN: 
Saturday, January 18, 2014

WHAT: 
Walk on Water and Elephant Ass’s 80th Birthday regalia

HOW:

You will buy your own round trip train ticket (through ticket office or train station).

TRANSPORTATION:  

We will buy same day train tickets at Beijing South Train Station (Line 4). 
Where to meet: Starbucks at lower level (where you come off the subway—not the Starbucks on the 2nd floor) at 9:30 a.m. sharp. 
If you arrive late, you’re totally on your own. 
We will buy the following train tickets (each person, individually; each one way ticket costs 54.5 RMBs—bring your Identification Card/Passport):

C 2013  Leaves Beijing South Station 10:15;  Arrives Tianjin Station 10:48
C 2146  Leaves Tianjin Station  22:27; Arrives Beijing South Station 23:00

At Tianjin Station, we will take a 5 mins. taxi to the TEDA light rail station. 
We take Line 9 to TEDA (approximately 40-60 minutes). 
We then take a 5 mins. taxi ride to Jack’s Pub #1 where we meet up with all the Tianjin Hashers around 1:00 p.m. and leave for the run site together at 1:30 p.m.  
Total travel time (each way): about 2 hours–and we avoided the bus!

Final destination in TEDA:
JACKY´S PUB #1:
Location in TEDA, on 2nd Avenue, Ruiyuan Block 25-4
Phone: 022-66299197

HASH CASH:  
Run and local bus to run site in Teda: 60 RMBs
Birthday dinner bash:  60 RMBs

Therefore, plan on about 110 RMBS for roundtrip train and 170 RMBs in Tianjin—about 280 RMBs total

If you arrive late, you’re totally on your own.
