... the other thing while i'm on a roll is if you see a place up the street you wanna get to it will probably involve going under 23 tunnels and 13 spirally footbridges and by that time you'll have either forgotten where it is or forgotten where you were going. It works in a sort of circle...seem to spend a fair bit of time just generally being lost (but i guess that isn't such a bad thing). Ooo they have dogs stacked on top of each other in cages for sale/to eat...i'm not too ...

... courtyard has been suspended /stopped and many locals argued that it's deserted and very neglected. So we'd arranged to go to Ganden Monastery and then on to the Drak Yerpa caves. Our ride out to the monastery was impressive, with fabulous views of the Kyi-Chu Valley. Like Sera, but not so deserted, there were 2,000 monks here in 1959, but this has been forcibly reduced to 200. Artillery fire and bombing in 1959 and 1966 caused extensive damage to its original ...

Hey Hey and a Big G'Day toya, The Festive Season Part 1 - Christmas 2008 Mate! Here I sit comfortably nestled away in the Xiangzimen Youth Hostel in Xian. Luo Wei is sleeping soundly back in the hotel room after a big dinner with her friends. Sneaky little bugger was supposed to be out partying until the wee hours but happily for me she surprised me with a gentle rap the door . I rose in fear that it was the cleaning ...

... of little shops that all started to look the same after a while. The teapots in the front of the store were super cheap, but as you moved into back rooms or upstairs the quality and price generally improved. I bought my last 2 teapots on Friday. They're my favorites. One is very plain and very small, and the other is a little bigger with a bamboo shaped handle and spout. It came with a paper form the artist inside. It was my most expensive teapot, but I didn't want to leave ...

... wall, there are 5948 crenellations, namely battlements. The soldiers can outlook and shoot at the enemy. On the inner side, parapets were built to protect the soldiers from falling off. Since the ancient weapons did not have the power to break through a wall and the only way for an enemy to enter the city was by attacking the gate of the city wall. This is why complicated gate structures were ...

... time that we were there...so our pictures were very hazy....you could climb a pagoda which was not the original one but you got to see the original foundation before you climbed up...this is about 1000 years old. As soon as we got to the lake we met up with the other group of American teachers so it was nice to compare stories with them about their experiences! They seemed to have a better time than we did...oh well. After this Erin, Christina and I did a little exploring and ...

I went to Duocheng in 2006. This place is called the big Sangrila with its three lofty snow mountains. It is a very beautfiul area. It was autumn and some of the trees had turned golden. It was cold and rainy on the first day. It turned out to be a blessing because the next day the mountains were covered in snow. Because the area is over 4000 meters above sea level. I had to take care to avoid high attitude sickness ...

... d think yeah right, they are bigger up there and eat noodles and its hard to find rice etc...ok! OK, so I'm an idiot! They were right, plus up here in the north or the north to the west there are so many Muslims which means there are Mosques everywhere about town. True, white skull caps line the streets along with old grey and young black beards. Many womens heads are covered by black scarves, well not ...

... area, display of typical access holes, windlasses, digging tools. The water channel you cross at the entrance becomes more like an underground channel as you walk upstream, with the channel itself waterproofed with cement-set round stones, and the arch above just formed in the natural ground without support or protection. Various heroic proportion bronze workers were seen digging and cleaning the passage. At the very end, where the real Karez emerged from a ...
