... accommodation and food). The main sights are a large granite fortress on the coast which defended China unsuccessfully against the British in 1842, and was also the first line of defence against the Japanese 100 years later - by when we were on their side. Ironically they had bought 2 huge Krupp cannons from the Germans before the Second World War and these were then used against their allies. The fort is not very interesting but the history is and the location has ...

Well, I jinxed myself by saying that no one had been in the hospital yet, Elise had to go in to get fluids and antibiotics. We think she drank some water in her bath, because she threw up and had diarrhea all night. (Everyone else was fine and we had all eaten the same food.) She continued to throw up all day and the following night, so that 36 hours later, she needed some IV fluids and she was running a slight fever so the doctor ...

China has had the one child policy in force since 1980. So people have not seen families with more than one child in almost 30 years. Now that all those only children are old enough to procreate, the latest policy is, that if both husband and wife are only children, they're allowed to have 2 children, to represent each side of the family. There have been so many comments, stares, surprised ...

A family visit would not be complete without a visit to our ancestors' graves. We visited 4 gravesites on the hillside above my great grandfather's house. Here&#8217;s a picture of my great grandfather&#8217;s tomb. To scare the "evil spirits" away, my mom&#8217;s cousin set off fireworks at each gravesite. That was quite a thrill for the kids.<br><br>Paul bought a few Roman candles, small firecrackers and little cone shaped ...

... 3). The whole country was off from Oct 1-8. We planned to stay in Qingtian until the holiday was over, to avoid all the crowds traveling at the same time. There was supposed to be 200 million people traveling over that week. We figured avoiding that would be a good idea!<br><br>My grandparents&#8217; hometown, Qingtian, is known for being a mountainous area with carvable rock. Here&#8217;s an ...

... so actually focussing is a little difficult. Instead, everyone was happily diving in left, right and centre to the massive array of dishes, and periodically toasting each other with baijiu and wine. Victoria's brothers definitely got quite animated by the end of this process, and even her elderly father occasionally got involved, spending the rest of the time sitting at his corner of the table and belching regularly and entirely unobliviously ...

... little dragons with red ribbons around their necks. It then leads to two trees covered in red ribbon. Cool entrance. The temple is full of colour which always brings a smile to my face. Once through the last door of the temple you come to the reason behind the temple. Walk through the door and behind the incense burner you will find a statue of a ...

... difficult to you, but remember that Chinese characters are not phonetic. Unless you've been studying Chinese for one spillion willion years, you cannot guess how a character is written by the way it sounds. What's worse is that the smallest variation changes the meaning of the character completely. If a single stroke is too long, too short, missing, extra, or drawn at the wrong angle, the character is not only wrong, it most likely morphs into a different character that is not at ...

... at the gate and look in, because they were occupied. By the time we finished exploring this area it was getting late so we postponed the final leg of our walk around the island and went directly to the ferry. On the way back to our hotel, we explored the side streets off Zhongshan Lu, full of little local restaurants and small shops, quite a contrast to the upmarket boutiques and tourist-oriented shops of Zhongshan Lu itself.
