Huaming Hotel Taiyuan

My God!! <br>What?? <br>That was the funniest and oddest bus I've ever been on! Firstly, It took forever to actually book at ticket! The trains were completely booked out so we dragged our backpacks to the bus station. At the station it took the usual amount of repeating and hand gesturing to get a ticket!<br> <br>"Taiyuan?" "TAIyuan" "TaiYuan"<br><br>Even if you know the name of your destination there's no way in the world you'll pronounce it right. Eventually,once a ...

... br>Taiyuan mel byt pro nas jen prestupni stanice, ale nakonec jsme v nem stravili cele odpoledne. Taiyaun je vice nezmilionove mesto, prestavbu centra dokoncili pred 2 roky. Hlavni ulice je misty az dvanacti proudova dalnice. Nikde tu nikdy nedelaji nic maleho. Asi sem nejezdi moc turistu. Vsude na nas zirali a v obchodech se nas ani nesnazili moc natahnout, takze jsme tam vubec nesmlouvali. Zasli jsme na jidlo, do muzea umeni provnicie Shanxi a posedeli v mistnim parku.<br>

... hotels in America, but I've never noticed, but in China they always have a phone next to the toilet, maybe people do some important business deals while they're doing their business, I don't know. .<br><br>We had about 10 minutes to get ready for dinner, we were meeting Mr. Bai, the CEO of the corporation Ms. Niu was working for.

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.

... of how tall it is. The third stop is from the bottom. By this time fog had lifted enough to see across. To get to the viewing spot one must walk through a park running along the river. The park was built to show materials used in the construction. A waterfall is made from stones used to show how they were cut and so forth. On the way back to the city we asked Lucy about a good place to eat and she ...

Taiyuan Do Taiyuanu jsme dorazili kolem sedme rano, tma jako v ranci, protoze ackoliv je jenom asi 900 kilaku od Shenyangu, tak se tu rozedniva o hodinu dyl. Vzduch je desny (a to bylo jeste docela fajn pocasi, o par dni pozdeji bylo hur), fakt desny. Po cistounkem vzduchu a permanentne modrem nebi v Shenyangu jsem povazovala informace o znecisteni vzduchu v Cine za dalsi novinarskou kachnu, ale okoli Taiyuanu je fekt des. Samotny Taiyuan je asi nejohyzdnejsi mesto ...

In Xian we saw four extraordinary tourist attractions: the tall walls circumventing part of Xian, the Terracotta Warriors, the Panda Rescue Center and Mount Hua Shan. On our first day after arriving on the train into Xian, we headed up onto the ...

... that I read this it doesn't seem that funny, but it was pretty damn funny while we were hiking - I guess Chinese-English (Chinglish) is funnier in person. Later we hike back through the train tunnels and catch our train back to Taiyuan and have a nice hot pot (I'll explain this food in a later journal) dinner and replace some of those expended calories. A very nice day and just what I needed after being holed-up with a bad back for a few weeks!
