... and deciding to split it between us, however, we realised the potato was neither sweet nor we really think potato... all we knew was that it was rancid and we promptly threw it away.

The entrance to the wall is filled with countless tacky souvenier stalls with people shoving mugs in your face which appear to have your picture on it, after all it is a huge tourist attraction. One thing we didnt expect to see though, was a small dirty pen filled with about 25 ...

... school." Salma Hayek--one of the show's producers--guest stars in an arc as a powerful editor who beds Daniel to prove a point. But it's her unexpected turn as an actress on Ignacio's favorite soap opera that is the real treat.
This set is the international release.
Facing international, we are not just a small family but a word. We are no longer just bored adults but with a playful element, wanting life more colorful members of ...

... end of each carriage in a utility area that also houses 2 squat toilets with sink and a separate 3-bowl vanity unit & mirrors, for washing. Rubbish bags/containers are also stored tidily. As the line only became operable in July 2006, the stock is reasonably new and more than acceptable in standards, with plenty of sockets to charge batteries and corridor tables with pull down seating. While a little off weather with the 3,000m altitude ...

... ticket to climb up to the Tiān'ānmén's viewing platform. Everyone knew that many tourists would cash out. As it seemed, Olympic Games had left a pile of luggage check scanners in their wake. Probably in every spot where a crowd could possibly show up, and in Beijing it meant virtually everywhere. So before the climb onto the Tiān'ānmén, we had had to give our luggage away for keeping, and then what we had on us and in our hands was thoroughly checked to boot ...

... It was very difficult to get tickets, but every once in awhile you'd be able to get an allotment for various sports. After a few days of fruitless searching, I turned to Craigslist and found a few tickets through there for face value or just above. A few days later, I went back to Cosport and found tickets for boxing and women's football gold medal match. I bought 2 tickets for each event hoping to spread out the $30 ticketing fee. What I didn ...

... another Typical Ming Dynasty Temple (or so I'm told). After spending a while there taking it all in, I headed up North to the Underground City. I didn't want to carry my Lonely Planet with me, as it is a bit of a brick. So I wrote down the address and some directions from the book so I could find my way. Apparently the directions in the book aren't very good as I could not find the place. I'm fairly sure I was on the road they ...

I returned to where my desire to travel first began, The Grreat Wall. China is becoming a place where actually, "it was much better when...." The erosion of the Gobi desert has cast an environmental spell on the air quality of northern China and along with it ruined the views of The Great Wall. Maybe the views still remain outside of spring, but it is pretty bleak this time of year. On a side note, the Chinese ...

... and signs, and even machinery still left inside the spaces. The art community is, for lack of a better word- FEISTY! We traveled from here to BIAC (Beijing International Art Center) where we visited more studios and met artists, as well as running into the Director of a museum in Portland! We were treated again to lunch by our hosts Xuewu and Xin Xin (his wife) at an amazing atrium restaurant who main vegetables come from their own ...

Ok i fly tonight so this is gonna be quick. We've seen the Shaanxi History Museum - apparently the day after the Iraqi president - phew! Didn't think much of it. For some reason anywhere which says Tourist Info is in actual fact a shop & will give you no information whatsoever. Also it sold junk which you could find in better condition on Preston flea market. It did have a good selection of incredibly old iron work - something ...

... Jim (from LifeChurch) had his guitar and I sang them a few songs because Richard loves music and plays sax and trumpet and he wants to learn the guitar. We sang more and then I pulled out "Here I am to Worship" and sang it while Jim played. I had been telling them what songs meant to make them laugh and so Richard wanted to know about this song. I started explaining to him that it was about how God had sent his only son to die on the cross for me and ...
