... city to be at during a weekend.
I've come to love Chongqing a lot, and in fact am starting to know some if its locals, mainly because I go to the same places every weekend I'm there (the foreigner bar and the random club across the street). There's always the same German guy there, with a shaved head and a sweet goatee. Him and I get along well, and somehow I always run into him when I'm wondering around alone in the city, or at the bar/club. He's a ...

However, 1.2 million people were forced to relocate from their villages upstream, which would be submerged by the raising of ...
Ghost City
At breakfast we heard that we would have a late arrival for the next town because of going against the strong current. The Yantze is high right now from all the monsoon rains.
