Greenland Business Hotel Chengdu

... fin de retomber, mais y'en a pas ici donc ecrire "retombe" ferait bloquer les 5 neuronnes necessaires a la lecture de ce blog d'inepties. ER fera l'affaire.)

On mange beaucoup de gateau en fait, pour compenser les autres choses de la vie. 5.90 kuai au carrefour pour 1 kilo! Yeah yeah!

On a mal a la vie aussi, ce qui amene l'histoire de la journee.

Comme vous pouvez voir, Chengdu sur la carte est pleins de cercles. Ben Marc et moi le jour ...

... my sweat jacket in my bag.

I was a little slow getting everything together since I was so tired (Satomi got ready in 10 minutes – and still beat me), so I was one of the last few people to get on the bus. This meant that I ended up in the very back seat. At first I was disappointed, because the view out the windows wasn’t as good. But actually, the back has some advantages, like considerably more leg room. Without a good view and because the bus wasn’ ...

... 100 yards or so there would be another group with another band or someone with a DJ. there must have been over 15 groups. A little further and we found a group doing ballroom dancing. We watched the ballroom dancers who were excellent and did our own DWTS evaluation. The next group were bad mitten players. There were also 5 tea house inside the park and a place to rent paddle boats ...

... alleys again. I have been looking for shoes since they are so cheap here, but no one has sizes big enough for me! They go by european sizes, where I am probably a 39 and they only have 38 and lower. Anyways, I wasn't feeling well today so not much happened.

... some good breakfast at our place. We got in a little van, CHINASTAR brand, and putted off. At first I was very disappointed by the pandas. We saw two pacing in a cage. Great. The next enclosure was beautiful however. We saw four pandas munching away (refer to Facebook video). Pandas are very cute, cool and are so laid back. One info sign said a panda's life is five things: sleeping, eating, mating, lounging, and exploring... Livin ...

... be walking rest of the way. The walk back to his parents house was not as long and difficult as the one to Xiao Li's house, but it was still about 15 minutes of walking on a path to get there. We carried some stuff back, but not ours since we would be staying in a hotel for this trip. After getting back to their house we walked around for a little bit while lunch was being finished up. We wound up in their peach tree orchard ...

... to Xichang. Continue to keep all the affected people in China in your prayers. There is incredible loss of life as you will read about in the article I referenced above. There also are people we know waiting to hear whether their loved ones are o.k. Also pray for the medical teams that they will have clarity of thought, energy to perform even though tired and for Chris that he will have a translator with him. Love, Wendy for the Tuey Family

... headed back to the hostel. Probably the bumpiest car ride we've been in so far. We both were feeling pretty crummy and Zoe had a big nap. I couldn't sleep because I couldn't stop coughing. We finally have internet access in our room, which is really nice. We finally mustered up some energy and booked our next flight to Guilin, we decided not to go see the giant Buddha in Leshan because our flight was more ...

We arrived in Chengdu (the home of spicy women and short men) far to early (5.30) in the rain!! We went to see the pandas first wich were the cutest black and white balls you have ever seen......I think they may be somehow related to the sloth family as they seemed to be speding a considerable amount of time lounging around with tummies hanging out eating bamboo! Lunch was at a vege restuarant at a ...
