Travel Blogs from Yantai, China
Forms and things
... stuff with a Wing Chung student on my back... not a pleasant experience Other than that two students, Max and Julie, have left to go to Vietnam... and I have been elected to commandeer a pilgramage to the holiest Taoist mountain in China- we'll see... ...
Oh we do like to be beside......
... a bit of r & r as well as a scope on potential retirement locations. With this in mind we enjoyed a lovely train ride to Yantai, no air con and no seats (some did become available) made you think that the further you get away from the main cities, the ...
A rude awakening
... of the gawking from the students and locals, but I still get the odd stare and hello that seems to come from no where. In China its not considered rude to hold some ones gaze and not speak to them, which can be a little unnerving at times, but within the ...
Humorous moments teaching
Top 5 humorous moments so far in Yantai: Mhairi on her 1st day asking one of the Korean boys to introduce himself, I realize my error only at the last moment when writing on the board: Kim Jong Il (I was had) Que much hilarity in Korean language class ...
Giant Budda and 1st evening on the tiles
... we had the pleasure of the company of some Chinese sailors (who were scarily persistent) and some Chinese students. The Chinese in Yantai seem to have a style of dancing which is, different shall we say. And taste in music which is just terrible (think ...
Weihai, warnings and wondering
... Yantai. Yantai is described as Weihai’s older brother. It is a larger coastal town approximately 60km away from Weihai. Yantai was once under British rule as a colonial port. There is a lot of British architecture that still remains in ...
Pretty place
... and my 'volunteer co coordinator' Jack Liu met me at the air port, complete with name scrawled on a piece of paper, so romantic. Yantai seems promising, it has fresh clean air and Im 5 minutes walk from the beach. Although it is a little rocky I can get ...
Kung Fu Mode Part 1
... , greeted by one of the Academy translators, and a driver- who I later discovered to be my Shifu. The Academy is not in Yantai, but rather a good hour away, twisting towards the Yantai scenic park or such, in the foothills of the cave where Taoism was ...
Hello from Qing dao and Yantai
... reading list for Glasgow has arrived (currently reading Emma) but my Chinese language Cd has gone AWOL somewhere between Glasgow and Yantai and is presumed M.I.A (too many war films guys). So still plenty of time for dvd watching, I should really be ...
My time in Yantai so far
Hello everyone Sorry about gap in contact, but I've been trying to settle in here and wait for some news to appear. Yantai is a pretty average Chinese city to stay in I think, although Sam who has come to stay thinks that as there are no tourists the ...
Last week in Yantai
... a few times with my language partner, and we walked around on Yantai hill and saw the old consulates. Yantai used to be the main trading port in China before it was moved to Shanghai, and they still have the old buildings there. They were definitely ...
All settled in
... and lying there I realized that even laying alone in my room, with my eyes closed, it is impossible to forget that I am in China. The sounds that float through the open window are as strong as the smells from the public toilets. First of all, I woke up ...
Horse Rearing Island
Today, it was a rainy Sunday afternoon (only about the 2nd day of rain I've seen in the 2 months i've been here), but I was desperate to get out so Shenoa and I decided to go to "the island." I've heard of this island a few times, and found out that its ...
Childrens day
Got up on my day off today to see the Childrens day show. Today is national childrens day in China and for those of you that are short enough you can get into any Chinese monument half price. The show was really impressive, with costume changes every ...
Yantai and Qingdao
... even a museum about locks, which with delicious irony, was locked up when I tried to visit. Other palimpsests of Imperialism in Yantai include a wine factory (which produces a Riesling and a "Cabernet", both of which taste of nothing), and a small, active ...
Hot pink evening gowns?
Last Friday, a professor I really like came up to me and asked me to do something for her. I understood that she was asking me to help out with the campus variety show being planned for the following Friday, made it clear that I would NOT sing in it, ...
Afslapning i Yantai
... paa stranden (den var okay, men vandet var grumset og ikke saa rent), vaeret ude og spise lidt forskellige steder, og vaeret paa Yantai marked. Det er et kaempe omraade hvor folk har smaa boder helt taet op af hinanden, hvor de saelger friske madvarer, ...
Golden Week: Traveling to Beijing
... pie, and a well mixed long island. Later I spoke to a traveler who informed me that I was lucky: on his bus to beijing there has been a toilet that smelled like an open sewer and no ventilation. Shenoa and I will be flying back to Yantai next ...
Kunyun Shan Part 2
... I went with a group of students to Muping, to go to dinner, and the local Bath house… one of those “only in China” sort of experiences, that would require an entry in and of itself. On Saturday, I went into town again with a group of ...
Not in Kansas anymore...
I'm not in Kansas anymore... or even Beijing. Just got to my home for the next 8 months: Yantai, China, and it's a bit of a shock. I got to the campus late at night, chauffeured by Jack, the Chinese director of our program. To begin with, Jack drove ...
I bleed oatmeal
There is nothing new or exciting that I can write about that I have not touched on before. Life continues in the same sort of sync where time transforms into this flexible, abstract concept- centered around eating and training. Eat, sleep, and on ...
Classes Start
... groceries. Okay.. time to go study now. I'm going to try to borrow someone's digital camera/cable so i can upload the pictures from my memory card onto this computer... I don't have the cord to do it, and i still have lots of Sydney and Yantai ...
Power Stretching
So I survived 春节- Spring Festival (Chinese New Year), there was a close brush with Chinese firecrackers, but all is well. Training started back up on Wednesday- some new students arrived during the week and... things followed pretty much ...
Qigong in the park
Close to the academy is a national park. This morning we went there for our qigong and conditioning lesson. Doing qigong in this beautiful nature was much nicer than in a classroom. We sat on stones at a little river. Still it was hard for me to only sit ...
Relaxing weekend
Saturday I needed to pick up my pants from the tailor so I joined a group of students going to Muping. Simone and I started off at the tailor. My pants look really cool! Then we did some crocery shopping before we went to lunch at the noodle ...
Electric blanket
In one of the morning lessons on Wednesday we did acrobatics. We had to do rolls forward, cartwheels, handstands and other things. Some of them came easy to me as it is a bit like gymnastics. Some were a bit scary like doing a dive roll over a stick the ...
Delicious lunch in Muping
After breakfast I went with 3 other students for a shopping trip to Muping. I went first to the tailor to get some kung fu pants made. These tailor made pants are very comfortable for training but at the same time a nice souvenir and cost only about $20. ...
2nd day of training
I woke up up and the back of my legs was already a bit sore...but I knew this was just the beginning and for the next 3 weeks I will be in constant pain... So I got up anyway and went to Taiji. The rest of the day was pretty much the same as day 1. ...
Lazy Friday
My knee had hurt all night long and I didn't sleep very well. So there was no way I could have done training. I decided to go watch the others train and take some pictures. The second lesson, while the others were training forms, I went to the medical ...
Parents' Visit & Get Away To Yantai 烟ࡤ
... well with the black ant bai jiu (white liquor). For 2 days my parents and I traveled to Yantai 烟台, a surprising clean and quaint coastal city. In the summer time the city is a tourist hot spot due to ...
