... crowd has gathered, someone will cry "Taiyuan" and the crowd will ooh and ahh in a "Oh you mean Taiyuan, sure you should have said" kind of way! <br><br>Ticket successfully in hand, we followed our Bus Lady across the road to our sleeper. (She had the most beautiful boots) The bus was filled with the tiniest bunk beds you've ever seen. Just about big enough for a short leprechaun to lie on his side and curl up his feet. (mild exaggeration only)<br><br>The bus ...

... 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>

... all these problems. Through internet, Native Chinese teachers can offer professional Chinese for Children and propose useful advice on how to learn Chinese. What's more, online learning also offers convenience and flexibility.

... to the water, which is the first time I have seen that. You can wash your hands in the water, which is supposed to be from the mountains and very clean. It has sacred powers. It was really funny how many people stared at us. Lots of people wanted pictures with Matt and I. I'm not really sure why they wanted them, but we would catch people taking sneak pictures of us or they would just ask us outright <br><br>After the temple we went ...

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 ...

... jsme v Cine navstivili. Cestu sem jsme naplanovali tak nejak vseobecne v ramci cestovani po Shanxi v domeni, ze tu preci neco zajimaveho byt musi, kdyz je to hlavnismesto provincie. Neni. Mesto ma pouze dve turisticke zajimavosti, Dve pagody a chram Jinci. Chram jsme vubec nenasli (az o par dni pozdeji, kdyz jsme sem nechtene museli zavitat zase), dve pagody jsou normalni pagody. Udelali jsme si k nim vylet, nicmene cesta vede pres regulerni slum na vychodnim okraji ...

... On our third day in Xian, we headed out of town once again to the Panda Rescue Center. Here they bring animals, especially pandas, that are discovered suffering in the wild and nurse them back to health. One panda at the center even had to have its left paw cut off because it had been so badly mangled during a fight with other pandas in the wild. Without this center this panda probably wouldn't have survived. The ...

... more of it. At traffic lights, the train station etc you will be attacked by begger children. Don't feel sorry for them and give them a thing. They are mostly part of a group of children that have been trained by adults to latch onto you and continue latching until you give them money, not for food but to get them to leave you alone. Lurking around the corner not ...

Obviously its more fun traveling with others - its more social in one aspect, its more economical b/c you can share room and taxi costs, it's nice to not always have to decide what to do and sometimes just follow, etc. On the other hand, I believe you definitely meet more people traveling alone and I also believe ...
