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
