... a kind of idea.



However, we still have a student in her class opened his own company, became a well-known business owners, he was named Xiao Liu.



In a student conference, Xiao told us that success often depends on you dare to go where few people go. There may be unknown risks, but because no one or less people came to, leaving your possible fruitful. We all fear of the ...

... kept on making sure that I'm ok with her buying it (I initially had my eyes on that pair of boots, but doesn't come in my size). What I realised from this shopping experience is that the average shoe size in Chinese market is about size 36 (women); all shoes on display is in 36, and when I asked for size 39 the staff told me that they actually need to transfer them from the main warehouse (and have to check whether they even have it ...

... which is about 20 dollars. I said to much so the next offer was 80 Yuan about 12 Dollars. I got it down to 50 Yuan which is about 7.50. Now walking back the girls were all upset that we had bought something from a different merchant they still pulled our arms to look at their goods.
It was fun they were friendly but they wanted us to buy. There view of us is that we are Americans and we have lots of money. It was fun we will go back to that street again.

... up straight to the Gate that Dispels the Clouds, the starting point of the steep climb to the top of Wŕnshňu Shān or Longevity Hill. The hill itself was not way too tall. Only sixty metres or so. But the climb was very steep, often in excess of eighty percent, and quite a few people had to take frequent breaks to regain their breath. At the bottom there is the already mentioned Gate that Dispels the Clouds or Páiyún Mén. It is followed by the Second Palace Gate and once you ...

... moved, all bridges have to be rebuilt etc. It has had a huge impact on many things as you can imagine. Now is the last time to see this part of China before it will be changed forever. We visited a woman in her new home who was relocated. We learned about how much compensation they received and how that worked etc. Clearly, being a chosen person to visit, she was very happy about this and her new home but obviously not everyone is. We had a look at a school and also a local market which ...

... highest point of the wall and sat and people watched for a bit. This was quite a strenuous walk...the stairs are tough. There are about 8 million of them and they are not even at all....but we made it. After lunch it was time to turn around and walk back so we could go on the toboggans on the way down. This was one of the most fun things I have down yet on this trip. I mean who can say they got to slide down the mountain that contains the great wall? After this again we shopped (LOL) and ...

... burried in a maze of old, grey walls. I don't know how we would have ever found it on our own. The hostel was amazing -- we know that this is not a normal hostel situation and that we are being spoiled. Check out the pictures. That first day we took a bus to the Lama Temple. The Lama Temple was simply beautiful, and full of tons of incredible buddhas. Then we took the subway to the Temple of Heaven -- which was ...

... mantry dokola recitující, Číňanka. Ukojí ji az Markétiny Bonpari (netusil jsem, jak je televizní reklama pravdivá;)). Při návratu objevujeme geniální vymozenost Země středu, a to open-air posilovny. Vypadají jako hřistě, jsou zadarmo, a jsou hojně vyuzívány starými i mladými. Konstrukce jsou vynalézavé a procvičit i protahnout lze snad libovolnou část těla. Prostě super. 3.8.2007 Peking Ráno vyrázíme směrem do Zak ...

... were in full bloom and looked really pretty. Today, I went to the Market. There were lots of great things to buy, but the people there were so persistent...so much so that they were grabbing my arm! This blog may seem kind of boring today, its just that I am so tired - woke up today at 3am with bad jet lag. The pollution here is starting to get to me too, oh and so is the constant clearing of the ...

... yesterday which is nearing a new record. The cop showed me the radar gun showing 78 kmh and I have no idea what the speed limit is. Anyway they showed no indication that they want to write me a ticket, just tell me to be careful and ride slower (I think).When I stopped for lunch I parked the bike in front of the window and then watched as some guys climbed all over my bike twisting the grips, touching the carburators, looking ...
