I had my breakfast in McDonald's again... yes again... this is insane. I'm having more McD than I would back in Auckland. I really do need to find some more decent ...

... own cause. Now, most people in the unit a safe haven where it has lost the face of the waves and the new environment courage. The resignation of entrepreneurship has become an empty slogan gradually, not in financial crisis, the market downturn as an excuse, that is, the unemployment rate high, hard to find a good job the grounds, with the family and the duties of the person is a total given ...

... It is 36m long with a hull made of massive stone slabs. The saying goes, "water can carry a boat, and it can also capsize a boat." By following the allusion, the Marble Boat was built to mean that the Qing Dynasty would be as solid as a rock and never fall; The Long Corridor that runs along the Kunming Lake. It is 728m long with 14,000 pictures painted on its ceiling; The Tower of Buddhist Incense which stands high on the hillside facing south, looking down at the ...

... if it belonged to their job description. They simply struggled to carry the melody within recognisable - and listenable - limits. But they played first and foremost to themselves and for themselves, and consequently had a very good time along the way. Besides, it didn't seem to bother much a few people of their age gathered around them in the pavilion, giving them a hearty round of applause after every song. And if your audience is happy, what else do you need? After all, isn't the ...

... at a terracotta factory where I had a 'ghost' moment and had a go with the clay but unfortunately this was the time when the fake memory card gave up the ghost so there is no evidence but I had fun! The clay looked like huge pavalovas. They had the most amazing collection of pottery and also furniture. Screens that take six months to craft, the most beautiful lacquered cabinets (did you know there is a lacquer tree??) and the most hideous jade carvings, enormous things that sell for ...

... the time. Anyways, Jing Shan has a big hill in it with a bunch of pagodas along the way, and on the top pagoda you can supposedly see the entire city of Beijing; but, thanks to the smog, you can only see about 2 miles in all directions. The view was pretty cool though; you can see all of the forbidden city and some other famous places. I also stopped and checked out some Chinese yo-yo masters doing some crazy ****, and then followed the sound of ...

... m glad I have a head start. I don't want to be stuck with a ton of stuff to get done my last weekend in China. Now I'm in a café trying to get a jumpstart on my final papers. It's located in a preserved hutong area called Nanluoguxiang. Hutongs are the traditional style Chinese houses that hold an entire extended family. They are shaped in a square with three building making up three of the walls and holding three different families. The south side is just a wall, usually open ...

Nápad procestovat Zemi středu vznikl někdy v únoru a kupodivu byl nakonec i zrealizován. Dobrou motivací bylo i to, ze můj spoluzák z VS, se uz dva roky učí Čínsky. Původně megalomanský plán se nakonec zreálnil na projetí několika míst v severostřední Číně včetně návstěvy Tibetu. Stihli jsme toho opravdu dost, od Zakázaného města, Velkou čínskou zeď, Terakotovou armádu, přes pandí rezervaci, nejv ...

... of Japan, Latin America, the US and Europe simultaneously through the sometimes very odd habits of my friends. One thing I've noticed is that Australians are not at all touchy-feely compared to a lot of other cultures. It's taken me quite a while to get used to having my Latin American friends kiss me on the cheek when they meet me - the first few times I tended to recoil, or get startled ...

... on the far side. I wish it was daylight so I could see it! I'm about to give it up and try and camp out when I see a single light on maybe a few kilometers in the distance. I think it must be Hotv so I head towards the light. It's like a lighthouse as far as I'm concerned. When I arrive, it turns out it is a quarry and the light is on the one machine. But there are a group of about 6 men who all point me towards a town called Ugi (pronounced). It's 50 kms they say and ...
