Bohai Hotel Dalian

The people in Dalain, omg, I dont know how they get up in the morning, look in the mirror, and think they can step out in public. Heres some tips of how to fit in in Dalian:

Perm- The perm is IN. Get a short perm, wax it down with excessive wax but with fuzzy bits fraying out everywhere. Maybe like a huge afro waxed down I guess, but shaped like a bob.

Shinny ...

Ok, I did it, I ate some western food. I still haven't eaten at McDonalds or KFC yet. KFC is everywhere. I wonder if they were the first American chain to come to China. McDonalds are prolific as well. No, my roommate and his friends wanted to go out for a western meal and we headed down to a place called "The Real Eddies" Not sure of the story behind the name. But here goes - Eddie was trained as a cook/chef in the ...

... looked pretty dirty. Smog filled the air, resting on the water like fog. It was stinking hot, I was wearing jeans and sweat was running off me in rivulets. I had my swim suit in my bag, but I balked. 10RMB to use the change rooms, 50RMB for a locker, 10RMB for a shower, all for the dubious pleasure of swimming in water that looked like **** and would indubitably give me a rash. I love the ocean, I love beaches, I love swimming, but I grew up in Perth where the water is ...

... Dalian in WWII they stayed in Dalian until 1950. Sometime during those occupations, they built some buildings (obviously) and some of those buildings are still standing, although some of them are not in very good shape.

After my spending spree I met up with Jeff and once we had a bite to eat, I asked him if he wanted to head over to Eluosi Fengqing jie – Which should mean – Russia Scenic Street to see some of these buildings of which I ...

... come up with the most accurate adjectives... like a little kids room, meets misprinted fabrics, meets dim lighting and an attempt at cozy. We stepped in and I howled with laughter.

On the two little cots that were side by side, lay little cotton pjs, which we changed into and waited for our masseuse. When the gentlemen came in, they introduced themselves and started by placing warm pillows on our stomachs and ...

We have all been volunteered to help the school put on an English Festival. I was very reluctant to get too involved in something I had no interest in, because there is a lot of other activities the school does that is more up my alley... but we had no choice.

The most Chinese thing about the whole event was that the slogan was incorrect grammar, for a festival celebrating English. Classic. We will, we will English You! Good lord.

So, when given a ...

... br>Before we arrived in China, the one thing we were told was that it was really hard to get the students actively involved in the class—that they remained stoic, sombre, and serious. That was NOT our experience. With very little prompting, students were up, out of their seats and rapidly trading, wheeling and dealing.

One student I watched kept making deals right before whatever stock he sold went up by hundreds of dollars, groaning at his misfortune ...

Today we took a bus trip to the coastal city of Dalian, a city of 5.4 million. (The state of Indiana is 6.3 million.) The ride was about three hours, so I spent the time speaking English with my translator, Yue. We compared common sayings in each language. For example, "the grass is always greener on the other side of the fence," is matched in Chinese by "the moon is always rounder in another country than at home." Yue told me that she is a ...

... number signified what. but now that i've muddled through it once, i know everything that i need to know to get around. buying tickets is another matter...but a combination of advance research, my phrasebook, body/sign language, and luck seems to do the trick. i was lamenting the lack of an english language master train schedule, such as they have in india...all the information at the train stations is in chinese...and so it's very easy to be at the mercy of the ticket ...

... 1:00pm-4:30pm 5) Physics 6) Chemistry 7) Biology 8) Elective 5:00-6:00pm 9) Chinese, Math or English **Note: there are many students that take additional courses after their regular school schedule. I have met students that don't go home until 10:00 in the evening! As well, the more competitive schools keep their students in class until 8:00pm. Two-Child Policy? Although China's one-child policy has slowed the rate of their population, legislation has shown some ...
