Nous nous sommes bien rendus a Beijing apres pres de 30 heures de deplacement dont 6 heures de vol vers Vancouver et 11 heures de vol vers Beijing. Nous sommes tous tres fatigues et Nathalie et Pops s'endorment comme des enfants et que moi je les ecoute dormir... A notre arrivee en apres-midi, nous partons a pied visiter la Place Tien An Men sans toutefois se douter qu'il restait "quelques" fetards des celebrations du 60e anniversaire de la Republique Populaire de Chine. Ouf! Quel bain de ...

... like to make the whole class laugh when I tease them by using their names in the examples I create. Such as, "I want to go to the movies with Tony. When I call Tony on the phone to invite him, he says he can't because he is busy. So I sit at home and cry." I am also in a constant effort to improve my survival Chinese. Mostly everything I now know revolves around ordering food, the numbers 1-10, asking where the bathroom is, and getting directions. At ...

... from there I hiked about 20km along the invigorating stretch past 24 watch towers (some of which were crumbling) to Jinshanling and a bit further. This part which was apparently deemed to dangerous for tourist (which I could appreciate due to some of the treacherous paths, steep accents requiring both hands and precarious plummets) where the wall was falling to bits and in some places in rubble. Still, seeing the wall like this and ...

... less populated side, slightly diappointingly the Chinese have erected a huge olympics sign, right next to the wall. The wall is pretty steep in sections, which gives the souvenir sellers their chance, pouncing at every opportunity. Thankfully there were less people on the higher sections and I had a very enjoyable walk all the way to the far extent of this section. The wall is amazing but there are several misconceptions, there never has been one single adjoined wall ...

... school I certainly haven't retained enough to understand what was going on in the movie... un-subtitled. And another didn't have sound at all.

It was ...

... style. The temple features a 1.9m tall jade Buddha. There were many locals there burning incense and praying for the deceased. Our guide taught us about Buddhism and the structure of a Buddhist temple. Back to the hotel... rest, sauna, showers, a light dinner in the hotel and 3 tired ladies called it a day... March 13, 2007 Welcome to Zhouzhuang: Zhouzhuang is a small village about 1 hour outside the heart of Shanghai, one of the countryside's many canalled ...

... I distinctly smelled the familiar, bothersome odor of burning coal. When I lifed in Dublin, coal was burned in residential homes for heat in the winter, and I guess here in Beijing it is being used for home heating in 2006.
