Um den See
Heute machten wir eine heisse Umrundung. Mit genialem Sightseeinplan schwangen wir uns auf die rostigen Drahtesel. Wir wollten Pagodas, Teefelder und Dörfer besuchen. Nichts wurde daraus, wir haben die Abzweigung verpasst. So fuhren wir im Kreis. Auch ...
to Hangzhou - oh my god, I'm up to date....
... tried telling her how good my music was but again, elle ne comprends pas. Then Jackie Chan told me off. Arrived Hangzhou to pissing rain. Gutted. Well, not gutted, but certainly a tad-miffed at this rather in-clement climatological occurence. Checked ...
In Love with a View

Hangzhou, China
We arrived in Hangzhou, China in the best mood ever. Lance got his visa during the last few minutes the chinese embassy was opened, and we made our flight even though the airport bus was delayed. Our flight was great in that we were treated like first ...
first time in china!
We arrived Hangzhou late at night and had to find some young kids who spoke English to figure out how to get to the city. We found the bus ticket counter and hopped on the bus. Unfortunately the bus ticket lady told us to get off at the wrong stop ...
Hangzhou in the Rain
Hangzhou is a beautiful area but its where all the locals go for vacation. Its really crowded. I think most of the travelers here have not seen many Westerners here because they stare like crazy, worse than any other place I've been to. The hostel we ...
We're so vain, probably think this photos about us
Another three day weekend approached so we packed our bags again and set of with some other teachers for Hangzhou. The city (of 5 million!) is south of Shanghai, a 3-4 hour bus ride from Changzhou depending on whether you spend an hour sitting at a toll ...
Raped by the Rape Van
... . These vans are all over China and they're especially useful when our party is too large to fit into one ordinary taxi. In Hangzhou over the weekend, the traffic was terrible because of the holiday, and it was hard to get taxis. On Sunday, we ...
Chinese is HARD...Careful what you wish for
... was quickly hustled down a crazy maze of alleys to some tiny room totally full of shoes and some watches. Shady, but DIRT cheap! Hangzhou also is well known for the beautiful lake near the university I'm at and its surrounding hills - there's a few spots ...
If My Ear Were a...
... either along the street or along the lake. We just had to shuffle along with the crowd. Throughout the weekend, Hangzhou was as busy or busier than Shanghai was during National Week. The second problem with cycling around the lake was that ...
Bad factory, nice lake
... aside and made something easier.... in the end it was usable but not what we wanted. So after a frustrating day I took the next day to explore Hangzhou's famous West Lake and had dinner at an Indonesian restaurant in Shanghai with some friends. ...
Hangzhou - City of Heaven

First Weekend Completed
Hello. Hello. It's Sunday. I've officially completed my first weekend in Hangzhou. The program leaders here are doing their darndest to keep us busy every second, it seems, either so we don't get into trouble, or so we focus on the good things about ...

Hangzhou
... . Quello che so e che attorno a tutto il lago c e un parco! E anche questo e molto curato e ben tenuto. Hangzhou non sara famosa come Pechino o Shanghai ma di sicuro merita parecchio. Domani sera prendero il treno. Inizialmente volevo andare fino a ...
In heaven there is paradise...
... tomorrow we are going to Hong Kong. Well that's the plan at the moment but we are having trouble with the arrangements. Hangzhou is beautiful. It's situated beside a lake and the scenery is unreal. Far more impressive than Lake Baikal. We are staying ...
The English Patient

Last night in Hangzhou

Last night in Hangzhou

Hangzhou
... (!), so we walked. It wasn't actually that far, and we enjoyed the walk to orientate ourselves in teh city. The actual city of Hangzhou isn't anything special - it's the area by the lake (where the hostel is) that is the main attraction. We had a walk ...
Wait...We're in Guangzhou?
... retreated to the comfort of a Starbucks. Defeated but caffeinated, we boarded the train for Hangzhou. Adam's family visited Hangzhou during their trip to China and loved it. So we had high expectations that were originally met. The city is most famous ...
Sweating at the Lake
Hangzhou is a small town of about 7 million people nestled by a lake two hours southwest of Shanghai. Stepping off the train with John and Vicki, we were assaulted by a blast of heat and humidity that helped us empathize with many of you poor souls ...
The Photoshop..suey:The Bicycle ride
Today's highlights: Rent bike to visit the west lake surroundings; Lingyin Temple; Today I really got the feeling that most of the people visiting the sites don’t actually get to see them life. They run to the monuments for a fun pose and then ...
Hanging Out Hangzhou Style

Hangzhou
I finally tear myself away from Shanghai and head down to Hangzhou for a couple of days with Illian (a Dutch girl I'd met). Initially we were also joined by Stephen (a Canadian guy), but he realised he'd lost his passport just before we got on the ...
