Nearly finished in Chongqing; late Oct and Nov!
... me to finish the working week, which is understandable, but it also gave me leverage for making sure I get my money before I leave the country... I trust the company to pay me, but they wanted to pay me on the 7th (which is too close to me leaving Chongqing for comfort), so I said that I will work those 2 days, but you'll have to pay me on the 2nd, not the 7th.

Yangtze River Cruise (almost)
... br> Chongqing is a city of high rise flats as far as the eye can see covered in dense smog. We started our cruise on a coach. Four hours later we reached Fengie Port. Throughout the whole journey all we saw were buildings and roads under construction. China seems to be an endless construction site!
We had to negotiate a 500m assault course with our luggage to board the boat. We were shown our cabin ...
