hotel in Midtown Manhattan $183 a night this weekend

haha, your name is wayne...what a name

Jeez....US$183, just to stay in a hotel room, and run a hilly, slow course?

Glad to be here in Kunming, China, I've got a beautiful big hotel room for US$20 per night.

Yesterday I took a lady out for dinner and had tons of noodles, vegetables, soup all for about US$4, for both.

Yeah, but if you head down to Hong Kong or Tokyo, you will find the same situation or worse one would think. I remember watching something on these commuter hotels some of the businessmen in Japan will stay in. It is essentially like sleeping in a ventilated casket. And they still cost something like $40 or $50 a night. Pretty incredible.

Yeah, Japan and HK are horribly expensive....this is why I tend to prefer places like China, Cambodia, Laos and THAILAND.

Have you ever had any troubles living in China? Where abouts are you (I thought you were more on the eastern side of the country)?

Just curious because it sounds like you've got a great deal.

I'm an hour west of NYC....anyone need a place for marathon weekend, I'll put ya up for $50 a night, AND get you to the start at Staten Island/pick you up at the finish. First come first serve...

Hotwire has what looks to be a great deal on a 3.5 star hotel in midtown manhattan this weekend for the NYC Marathon. The price is around $183 a night (depending on the nights you stay). (In case you're not familiar with hotwire, they show what part of town the hotel is in, hot many stars it is, its ameneties, and its price, and then once you agree to stay there (no cancellations allowed), they show you the name of the hotel).

So here's what you need to do.

Yunnan is in the southwest of China, bordering Vietnam, Laos and Burma. It's a great place to train. A lot of the top Japanese women train in Kunming, the capitol city of Yunnan province....Reiko Tosa, Yoko Shibui, Hiromi Ominami, Takemi Ominami, Yasuko Hashimoto and Mizuki Noguchi....etc etc

The weather is never too hot or too cold, Kunming and Lijiang get a small amount of snow in the winter.

Kunming is 2 hours flight north of Bangkok, daily flights from HK and BKK.

And that's where they get all of their EPO! Keep druggin' Asians!

apartment at 93rd and lexington is free for a few people on saturday if you're willing to still be sucking down shark bowls and natty lights at Brother Jimmy's as the clock strikes 2am. of course be out on the streets to watch the race on sunday AM.

so if anyone's gonna be in the apple for social/spectator reasons and wants to meet up, just drop me a line.

What the **** is a shark bowl or natty light?

natty light = Natural Light. north america's finest beer.

shark bowl at brother jimmy's = bucket of liquor with a plastic shark floating in it. grenadine poured over it to give the effect of the shrak's mouth covered in blood. served on ice with 5-6 straws. 2 of these for a party of 3 or 4 will whack you pretty good. comparable effect to Shark Attack's served at Sharkies in southern cal (hermosa and newport beach), and to Scorpion Bowls served at Boston's Hong-Kong Room.

waitresses at brother jimmy's are also prime rib. they'll flirt with you and serve you tons of liquor....make you think that you have a chance of scoring with them, you tip them big and tell your friends how you're gonna score, then her boyfriend picks her up in his ferrari and you go home DIH.

shark bowl at brother jimmy's is a girl's drink, sehon. how about you grow a pair?

ahh hell. i'm a lost cause. 3 beers or preferably one 40 (3.33 beers) and i'm ready for bed. at 26 i'm over the hill. there is still hope for the younger generation though. i'll drink my shark bowl with a smile.

I'll share a shark bowl with a confident man like than anyday!

Of course, Scotty will be getting that girlie drink thrist out of his system on Saturday night, b/c at my post-race gig on Sunday, any guy who asks the staff for a girlie drink gets thrown out.

those of you offering rooms in new york better make sure your neighbor isn't operating a spa, or at least but batteries in your alarm clocks
