The Couple of the trip suffers a humiliating blow to their ego

We spent the day in Chongqing. The city is built in the mountains so everywhere you go is up and down stairs. This place is known as the hot pot(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hot_pot) capital so we went off looking for the best. What we found was really good but Layne, Graham, Nathan and I agreed it was the hottest thing we had ever sat and ate an entire meal of (it was too hot for Brian and Katie). Come to find out, Nathan, Layne and I agreed it was just as fiery coming out as it was going in... I'll leave it at that. We walked around the city a bit. Katie lost to Brian in speed (card game) one day after he had learned the game and after she had talked about how good she was. Tonight we were all wanting a meal that we felt would fill us up so Graham and Brian went to Pizza Hut (which is a sit down restaurant here). Nathan, Katie and I went to McDonald's, which by the way has a Hostess in China. Layne came prancing into the restaurant with a bowl of noodles he had bought on the street talking about how he had seen everyone else in the street eating it, as he looked down on us and our McDonald's. 15 mins later Layne was up getting a double cheese burger because he said the noodles were too hot for him. Nathan and I made fun of him as Katie picked up the noodles and went to throw them away, telling him it was okay cause he was still cute; Layne hung his head in shame. Now we're at John's Cozy Nest, the hostel at which we're staying is this guy's apartment. There's about 3 rooms here and his entire family lives in here (about 15 of us here in total). We were just happy not to find John's Cozy Nest to be a prison.
