Friday, 23rd December 2005 After a happy day with my Grade 3's I caught a road side bus to Baise to meet the girls.

Oh yeah, it had been too long. Gary and I hea...

Ningbo, Zhejiang, China happysheep... a major production centre for small and micro bearings. Like most Chinese cities in South China, this too is a city vibrating with life.

Continental food however is mainly restricted to restaurants in hotels.
Cixi, China chesterpReached Ningbo after another 4 hour bus trip, all on modern highways. 20 years ago China didnīt have any highways and today itīs a 30 000 km network, second only to the US. Ningbo is another big city, and my last stop before heading back to Shanghai and flying out.

She calmly, very deliberately stood over her fish and clapped fly by fly to death without missing and tossing them on the ground. I saw her kill 3 flies in a row with 3 claps.

Yuyao, Zhejiang, China rcys... place. It was fantastic to swim there, and after a while I was under the impression that flesh had grown between my fingers, a fin was anchored on my back, and gills were inserted in my cheeks. Luckily I did not get caught in the fishermen's nets. While the locals were catching fish, Caroline (YingYang, alias Sammie) shot whatever caught the attention of her well-trained ...

We went out for an early dinner after we checked-in and when we came back around an hour later, we had chocolate, a small toy and a pillow menu waiting on our bed. I didn't request a specialty pillow but my boss did and she said it worked a dream! (I think she got the anti-stress one) you can actually purchase the same pillows if you ask reception to take home ...
... over and we introduced ourselves. His name (I think) was Hans. He was a uni student and from Holland. He was in Ningbo visiting his father who lives here with his beautiful new Chinese bride. They have opened several factories and life is once again good! We got to talking and decided as we both were out doing the same thing, why not spent the day together ...
