... appeared again giving another street seller a good tongue lashing and some degree of physical agggression. This time uniformed police were standing next to the trouble and to our surprise they did nothing, and to even more to our surprise it appeared HE was the senior officer in plain clothes. This was a very aggressive way to trying to diy up the posher street of vendors.<br><br>We have seen so far throughout China that the people very quickly ...

This city Beijing is not merely amazing, awesome but incredible. The new and the old. The beautiful and mundane. NOthing but positive experiences.here. Want to finish this up and send out update but watch this entry for an update of some of my experiences here. It has reinvigorated my yen for travel.

... room as the photos will show most of what we saw. I tried searching the net for something descriptive but the paragraph below is all I could find. For those who do love museums it really is a great place. The ...

We set out for the Great Wall then Inner Mongolia. We were told that it would be much cooler in the north so we looked forward to a more bearable weather. Mr. Zou was our driver, and he is an excellent driver. How do I know if a driver is a good one? Simple. If a driver does not make me dizzy and nauseous, he is a good driver. That says a lot about a driver's ...

... eye can see. A far cry from the rows and rows of modern buildings in Beijing! We romped around in the grass for a while. It's not long soft sweeping grass like we imagined...it's shorter tough tufts of grass growing on little mounds. But it was fun, nonetheless. We went back to the camp and had lunch. It was just regular Chinese food, nothing exciting. After lunch we had a few hours to just relax and do nothing. That was nice. We ...

From DS we took a bus out to the middle of nowhere and Genghis Khan's Mausoleum. The bus dropped us off at a traffic circle and we walked about forty minutes down a snowy road to the Mausoleum. That Mausoleum is the second most expensive tourist site I have ever visited in China: 80 kuai! Crazy! The place was fairly ...

We got back to Beijing from Mongolia and headed by train straight to Datong, a city about 800 miles west of Beijing. The train was great. we were in this dingy carriage with no air conditioning on a scorching hot day with people standing up in the ailes - for 10 hours!!!! Sounds **** but it was a great experience. We got into Datong and found our hotel, conveniently located right next to the station, and were greeted by this overly eager consierge who ...

... he sat next to an old man who hogged the seat for 2/3 of the journey and decided not to sit next to Jesse all together in the last 1/3 of the journey. I sat next to a pair of women. They both work at the bus station in Datong. One is a bus driver, while the other one is an accountant. I have total respect for the female bus driver after seeing how people drive here. Apparently she works one day and has one day off. She works an 8 hour day ...

... prayers and everything. We span a few prayer wheels and were looking around the main temple when a woman started tapping me on the shoulder and motioning vigorously for me to go outside. I was terrified that we had done something wrong... but it turned out that we were just required for a photo shoot! Clearly we were the first white people she had met, and she finished off her film taking varioius photos of us with the kids, with dad, grandad and any other friends she ...
