The crew had a grand ole laugh at my confused and angry questioning!! Free nights accomodation all the same! <br><br>Love ye lots<br>Lucy and Adele! xxx<br>

Z Wutaishanu jsme vyjeli autobusem v 8:10. Cesta do Taiyuanu trvala asi 4 hodiny, vetsina osazenstva ji prospalo - i kdyz personal autobusu se to snazil narusit poustenim nejake cinske superstar neuveritelne nahlas. <br><br>Jedna zastavka na benzinove pumpe. Zacina se zdat, ze toalety na benzinkach budou hlavnimi adepty na cenu "Zachod Julie Hubenakove".

... to see the small baijiu glasses from the last time we had dinner with Ms. Niu. Luckily Mr. Bai was drinking wine and offered us wine instead of that vile grain alcohol. Dinner was a very long, but interesting 4 course meal that also came with about 15 other dishes that circled around on a lazy susan. Again there was some serious over ordering, but I think that is tradition when you are entertaining guests. Mr. Bai was clearly ...

We get dropped off at the Qingxu service station at 2:30am. There's a 24hr convenient store, we find a row of plastic seats and tries to make it until the sun comes up. We have been on the road nonstop for 18 hours, have to wait 7 more hours before we can find a bed.

... we would show us one. We told her we'd like to buy her lunch and she said ok. It was nice to have her along as she explained about the area specialty Chongdong fish. Unfortunately it cost 240 yuan so we got a different fish but cooked the same way for 40 yuan. You ask what kind of fish for 240? Catfish. Keep in mind the exchange rate is about 6.5 yuan to $1.00 After a good and not expensive lunch Lucy asked ...

... i kdyz jenom jednu). Pak jsme vyrazili na obhlidku. Taiyuan ma jenom jednu skutecnou zajimavost. Cca 60 km od mesta se nachazi dvorec rodiny Qiao, dum, ve kterem se tocil slavny film Vyveste cervene lucerny. Tam jsme jet proste museli.

Pak jsme tak ruzne zabijeli cas, sli jsme navstivit ...

... was a good day for observing panda activity. The highlight was two younger pandas that kept wrestling with each other. I took tonnes of videos! The golden monkies were also hilarious to observe: they make the most ridiculous noises, and this one male had us cracking up everytime we fed it some leaves. Our fourth day in Xian was rather sad. We recieved a text message early in the morning that our dog - Seamus - the best ...

... not supposed to be on that part of the wall. So ducking and being quiet like we were in Ann Franks house we finally got down the wall. A great day and i would advised many people to do it. Also visited the summer palace and forbidden city, which to be honest is about as forbidden Central Milton Keynes shopping centre the last saturday before christmas!).

... it was built for a four year old emperor but i can not remember what year.... but it does actually look like it is just hanging off the side of the mountain, there was also a dam next to it which was neat to look at and walk across. the hanging monestarties is also where i had my first of many encounters with a squatter this weekend, that would be the hole in the floor that you pee in, it is seriously an experience, and made for some really good laughs, one ...
