... chicken". Then came rice, something similar to asparagus, a big bowl of fish soupy stuff, more rice, omelette, and a vile pork speciality. This entire day cost us £6 each, the Chinese get everything incredibly cheap compared to the Westerners.

Alas, we have some bad news to notify you all of. We will be flying to Sydney on the 10th of December from Ho Chi Minh. We really wanted to be in Australia for Christmas and when we were offered somewhere to stay for two or three ...

Sunday, August 30th: Left from San Francisco on Asiana Airlines at 10:40am. I was lucky I booked my flight early; the prices went up the last 30 days about $400.00 more. My ticket was only $850.00.

We went to a grocery store and bought toothpaste, coke ...

... then another room with 2 full beds. I was pleasantly surprised. So, that night we settled in and the next day woke bright and early to make plans for the day. We went downstairs for breakfast in the hotel cafe, it was soo good. The lady that helped us with everything, she was amazing; a superwoman, made us the food herself. I had a Chinese breakfast of steamed buns and Soy milk. Her soy milk was homemade-- and SO good! Sarah had the Yunnan coffee which turned out to be amazing, so we ...
