Hey everyone, Sorry no update for so long but we try to spend as little time as possible at the office, and that's our internet access. Things here are OK, we're both truckin along, very set in the work routine, which doesn't leave too much time to think about whether we're having fun here or not. Time flies because we're working 6 days a week, and closer to 10-hour days than 6-hour days if you include travel time between schools, the office, and the apartment. It would be nice to have a bit ...

Day 1
Today I began my tour to China's Yangtze River. This morning I took a plane from Guilin to the city of Chongqing. My tour guide Violet was waiting for me when I arrived at the airport. She took me to my own personal car with driver. I was then taken to my hotel to check in. I am staying at the Chongqing Holiday Inn, a four star hotel. It is a very nice hotel and it is very clean. The staff is very friendly and most of them speak very good English. After a little r...

Chongqing, Chongqing, China smileyang... a<br>bus! This got everyone's blood pumping! <br><br><br>But we made it to the cruise ship by<br>8:30 pm. Boarding ended at 9:00 and we set sail at 10:00. The rooms<br>were larger then I expected and even still we upgraded rooms for a<br>minimal charge. So our room has two twin beds side by side, a cot, a<br>bathroom and a nice balcony. We will be making this trip on the<br>Yangtze in style! We are looking forward to being in one place and<br>having some down time. <br><br><br><br><br><br>
Chongqing, Chongqing, China solingchina... to sell you things and the ‘old’ buildings actually being made of concrete. In the evening we had the Welcome banquet and ‘Showtime’ which consisted of the staff members doing a fashion show and some dodgy dances. When it was time for us to join in, they all made Lesley get up and do the bamboo dancing with the Chinese staff. After the dance had finished, the Chinese crowd all cheered and clapped for her which was pretty ...
Chongqing, Chongqing, China lesleyandrob... passengers except us had purchased hard seat tickets. The hard seat ticket is a free-for-all. They don't have assigned seats. Either you find a seat or you stand. So the common thing is to go to the dinning car and order some water. Soon the staff was getting hungry and irritated at the passengers refusing to leave and allow the staff a place to sit and eat. An argument ensued between the hungry staff and the seatless passengers. There was screaming and finger ...

Chongqing, Chongqing, China djniedfeldt... an English teacher in China, or maybe even a Chinese teacher in the US. Her parents (who didn't take their eyes off the three of us the whole time) are very "traditional" however, and they are worried that teaching wouldn't make enough money. She wants to be able to pay her parents back for all the sacrifices they made for her education, but also talked about wanting freedom for herself and her desire for work that has greater meaning. The girl told us ...
Chongqing, Chongqing, China jmmadden... as though more presentations are in store on the class/school end of things...bummer. Hopefully the weather will change tonight also, I heard tomorrow it is suppose to go back to normal. Which is 70s and rainy, it has been around the 90s, really sunny, and there's always the factor that I am 40 mins away from the 4rth worst air polluted city in the world, Chongqing, needless to say hot weather is very uncomfortable around here.
