Chongqing Century Golden Resouces Times Hotel

Elise recovered while on the boat. She was back to herself by the end. We were quite relieved. That bit of R&R was what she needed. However, Henry either got what she had or caught a different bug, because he ended up having diarrhea the entire time we were on the boat. (Too much information probably.) But that is what happens on trips overseas. Everyone else was fine.

We celebrated Charlie's birthday a day early ...

... to a feast! Unless there's a point-at-what-you-want eatery, my normal approach is to find a restaurant, sit down, look at the all-Chinese menu, show my paper stating "I do not eat meat or fish", and wait to see what I am given... it's usually a bowl of plain noodles, cooked in horribly meaty tasting stock, but there's only so much you can insist on! Here Kehua ordered delicious veggie dumplings and fritters along with an array of other ...

... br>universal laws. We earnestly need laws to run this world in a proper
way, in which it is possible to harmoniously get along with
surroundings. Once we grasp something behind rules and disciplines, we
will abide it automatically. But, the real question is how many have
ever spared a thought for method in discipline. Unfortunately, most of
time, we blindly hew to regulations, especially some ones without rhyme
or reasons.

... prodded by
the doctor and radiologist who were both less than gentle. Tomic had
returned to the group to take them to dinner so when the x-ray was
finally ready we were on our own. We found our way back to the doctors
office but he didn’t speak a word of English and we couldn’t understand
whether he was saying it was broken or not. We found a little phrase
book and the only vaguely helpful word we could find was ‘ ...

... the guide told us about the local Tuziang people's love for singing. To express their love for each other, they would sing to each other. If they could not sing well, they could not find a date. Our guide sand a local song for us. She sang really beautifully. When she finished, one of the boatmen sang a song. He didn't sing as well as her, but his song was really lively, and fun. I had no idea ...

... to change. Fujio Fujiko was
attacked by sudden death while limning an ideal place involved with
Doreamon and his friends. “It can’t be!!!” the little girl cried. A
six-year-old girl first cried for someone she had never met, and she
understood that she was not only crying for a disappearing life, but
also lamenting on the dream that has been by her side. She was only
six; her childhood had been finished. She was forced to stand up
Chongqing, Chongqing, China aspen-rocks-on

... also visited the Arhat Temple - a Buddist Temple - which to me, who's not really in tune with Budda, it came off as somewhat tacky. We had also come to Chongqing with the idea of perhaps taking somesort of cruise down the Yangzie River, but upon noticing how foggy it was all the time, and figuring we probably wouldn't see much, we decided to leave Chongqing rather quickly. We booked a 20 hour train down to Guilin - which is currently where we are, at the ...

Had to get up super early in Dazi for the long trip to Chonqching, the bus left Dazi at 7:30 am. The husband at the guesthouse told me to only take the bus to Haping not all the way to Longsheng. The reason for this is that if you go all the way to Longsheng, you back track about half an hour on the way to Guilin. That sounded like a good idea, as it would save about an hour. The local bus down wasn't as interesting as everyone was going to get supplies, unlike last ...

... for a little while and drank beer whilst noticing that they had ordered rabbits heads and other strange looking stuff from the menu. We all left together and went back to our cabins. I returned to mine and noticed that the suitcase and bag had gone.What a result! Did this mean that I would probably be the only person on board to have a first class cabin all to himself for the next three days?? I hoped so and turned in for the night on the narrow but long enough bed rather pleased with myself.

... I'm seeing here is everything and nothing like the tour books or news produced by either America or the Chinese themselves. Yes, you can find the traditional architecture and classic food joints, but in a city like Chongqing, where a population roughly as big as Canada is shoved into about 156 sqkm, your concept of 'urban development' becomes ...
