It's three am, Jeff must want coffee...

Jet lag does funny things. On our first night, Harvey and Jeff woke up at 3 AM with nothing do to, so they decided to search for coffee. They grabbed a cab and, by drawing pictures, communicated that they needed coffee. After driving somewhere in the second ring of Beijing, they found an open McDonalds. Due to their ignorance and no Chinese language skills, they paid three to four times more than a taxi would have cost, which the realized that their fare back was only around $5. When it was all said and done, they paid around $35 for two cups of coffee and a great story. The lesson learned: make sure your cabbie has a meter running :)
