Combat Saturday

Kristine's first combat game with Grace and friends on a cool overcast Saturday out in MiYun, some 90mins drive away. A 39seater bus was hired for the day, but several participants decided it was a nice day for a drive and 4 cars followed the bus to Miyun.

Lunch was at one of those farmers restaurants in Miyun, serving exotic wild vegies and a fish which I didnt even like the look of, much less digging through the numerous bones to get to the meat. The vegies were nice and lunch was enjoyable.
It was then 4 hrs of combat games between the green and blue teams. Weapons were laser beam guided. Each combatant wore a suit with several laser beam receptor targets on the vest, 4 on helmet and 2 on front vest and 2 more on back vest. Once a laser beam from enemy (or friendly idiots) lined up with the receptors, it is considered a 'kill' and an electronic pouch behind the vest will shake to register the kill.

Kristine was more conservative and liked to hide deep while Grace liked to charge (and got killed early)

The bus dropped us along 3rd Ring Road near the embassies. We walked all the way south to BaiJiaZhuang to have dinner at JingDingXuan. That was an enjoyable meal for the evening. Each main dish is around Y30-40, while the Dianxin dishes were around Y6-10. The small serves fit our family size adequately. Nice quality food too. Worth revisitng.
