... a few words. but we were able to make friends with them by drinking 3 bottles of chinese wine. I am proud to say I learned to toast in chinese - Campei!!!! and they learned to toast in English, Spanish and German! <br><br>Today we will probably go exploring the nearby sights.. we have no chinese money, no translator and we are most likely, not kidding, the only two foreigners in this city. good thing I'm not the blonde one!!

... reflecting yellow at the end of September and the beginning of October. Dan was captivated by the pictures' deep blue sky, yellow leaves and white sand and the idea that you can only see it for a limited time each year. What a great opportunity to take pictures, we thought. Alan had taken the pictures while on a trip to his home in Ningxia, and via our friend Winnie emailed us that the site was in Inner Mongolia but it was easy to get there via ...

... with carved images of dragon, sutra house, color-glazed zoomorphic ornaments with stone carved patterns, etc. Looking at the 1.52-meter-high green color glazed eagle zoomorphic ornaments, one can imagine the magnificence and grandeur of the tomb architecture at that time. In 1998, the mausoleum was designated as one of the state protected key historical relics ...

It is supposed to be here. You mean we've lost the mosque? How can we lose the great mosque? I thought it was supposed to be great? How can you lose something so ...

Sadly most Australians I knew said, 'They are Japanese and if they want to come here they can pay what we want them to pay'. Sadly being a traveler I disagreed with most of what they said and never bothered to contact any of them again. Not so strange was that 99% of them had never ...

... A tired not and so peachy Luo Wei fell to sleep straight away and I headed out in search of some of new and exciting Chinese noodles. What I found was a Korean eatery that served a most delicious Pibimba dish that almost took me back to my favourite eatery on the Gold Coast in Australia or to some of the more remote places in Korea that I visited ...

... of course, Camel. Words can't describe it, the photos speak for themselves I think. I felt like I was an extra from Lawrence of Arabia and walking the dunes was one of the few times I've been alone in China. There were factories on the fringe of the desert, and even a new one being marked out in the desert proper, which was really depressing. So we may well be one of the last people to see that section of the desert relatively untouched. We saw looming sand dunes ...

... four pairs of eyes were upon us, watching our every lack of movement. You are faced with the feeling that you are the first white face to ever appear in these places - which, of course, you're not. So we are left wondering when the Chinese are going to get used to seeing us. As it stands at the moment, we keep surpressing the urge to run over to them, give them a cuddle and whisper "Shhhh, there there, it's going to be alright". In just less than two years ...
