Changjiang Hotel Taiyuan

... strange events as the bus driver began to drive again! <br><br>Five minutes up the road from where we had parked for the night, we turned into a bus station. Final destination! We were there in Taiyuan!! We had spent the night parked just metres from where we had wanted to be all along!! AArg!! Lost in translation!! The crew had a grand ole laugh at my confused and angry questioning!! Free nights accomodation all the same! <br><br>Love ye lots<br>Lucy and Adele! xxx<br>

Z Wutaishanu jsme vyjeli autobusem v 8:10. Cesta do Taiyuanu trvala asi 4 hodiny, vetsina osazenstva ji prospalo - i kdyz personal autobusu se to snazil narusit poustenim nejake cinske superstar neuveritelne nahlas. <br><br>Jedna zastavka na benzinove pumpe. Zacina se zdat, ze toalety na benzinkach budou hlavnimi adepty na cenu "Zachod Julie Hubenakove". Hlavne devcata si porad nemuzou zvyknout na vykonavani potreby pred zraky ostatnich Cinanek ve fronte. O zapachu ani nemluve ...

... all these problems. Through internet, Native Chinese teachers can offer professional Chinese for Children and propose useful advice on how to learn Chinese. What's more, online learning also offers convenience and flexibility.

... us to drink one, two and even sometimes 3 at a time in order not to offend him. Luckily we all fared pretty well, but Matt and I were the target of much of the drinking. Maybe it was the baijui drinking the last week, but we held our liquor much better, to Mr. Cao's dismay of course. We were sort of thankful to say goodbye to Mr. Cao and were excited to go and see a ballet that we were told was happening tonight. The ballet was a ...

We get dropped off at the Qingxu service station at 2:30am. There's a 24hr convenient store, we find a row of plastic seats and tries to make it until the sun comes up. We have been on the road nonstop for 18 hours, have to wait 7 more hours before we can find a bed.

Before arriving in Yichang my son said to keep things simple in this city. As soon as we arrived yesterday we went to the concierge and asked about a tour to the 3 gorges dam. The concierge told us that we could sign for the tour right then. We did paying our 200 yuan on the spot. The only way to see the dam is via an official tour. A little later the confcierge told us that the tour would be a chinese led ...

... jsme v Cine navstivili. Cestu sem jsme naplanovali tak nejak vseobecne v ramci cestovani po Shanxi v domeni, ze tu preci neco zajimaveho byt musi, kdyz je to hlavnismesto provincie. Neni. Mesto ma pouze dve turisticke zajimavosti, Dve pagody a chram Jinci. Chram jsme vubec nenasli (az o par dni pozdeji, kdyz jsme sem nechtene museli zavitat zase), dve pagody jsou normalni pagody. Udelali jsme si k nim vylet, nicmene cesta vede pres regulerni slum na vychodnim okraji ...

... Pizza Hut here! The pizzas and smoothes are divine, and we've already eaten there three times in less than five days!! (Sorry Sean! haha - we know how much you like Pizza Hut!) In Xian we saw four extraordinary tourist attractions: the tall walls circumventing part of Xian, the Terracotta Warriors, the Panda Rescue Center and Mount Hua Shan. On our first day after arriving on the train into Xian, we headed up onto the ...

Beck: Yes, sorry Jess, it's me and not Bill again. He's sleeping. So we're in very un-sunny Pingyao, which is a small city that is still completely surrounded by its city walls (quite rare in China). It's nice, but unfortunately quite touristy. Every building in the centre of town is either a hotel, a restruant or a souvenier shop. Although, once you walk a little way away from the main tourist area, it suddenly becomes very un-touristy. Much like the hutongs (small streets) in Beijing ...

... eachother like a family not willing to accept the bad news. The drivers motioned us out and the girls filed into the toilets. I found my buddy Nick who I had spent a couple nights drinking with and we began to grumble about what a crock this was. Don't get me wrong, when you see The Great Wall of China you can't really be disappointed. From the moment I caught a glimpse of it from the van window I had a little fluttering feeling in my stomach. I don't know ...
