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>

... 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>

... saw this man who worked for the bank until he was fourteen, when the bank was closed. He was still writing checks, although now as souveniers, at the age of 80. We toured all over the bank, but after we headed back to the hotel we need a major nap before we left. It is hard smiling and being gracious all the time, you wouldn't think it would be, but it really is. After our naps we headed to the airport. We gave Ms. Niu our gifts ...

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.

Our guide's english name was Lucy, a young woman who just graduated with a degree as a tour guide. She met us at the hotel which was good since we had to change buses along the way. The weather was forecast to rain an ...

... slum vcetne spinavych deti, smecek divokych psu prohrabavajicich odpadky a vubec. Kolem proteka ricka, a vzhledem k suchemu podnebi (prselo naposled nekdy pred dvema mesici), tece v rece uzky prouzek neceho, co ma mlecne zelenou barvu a smrdi to na sto metru. Park kolem pagod je docela pekny, ale ta cesta za to nestala, krome toho klaster okolo pagod byl stejne zavreny a vstupne podle vseho 30 yuanu na osobu. To je dalsi problem Taiyuanu, vstupy, kdyz uz je na co ...

... around the city. It costs 40Y to get up and if you're willing to pay a little extra you can rent bikes (either single or tandum) to ride around the walls. From what people say here at the hostel, the bikes are good fun, though maybe a little bumpy, and let you ride around the entire wall. We decided to walk instead, snapping photographs. We probably only covered about 1/4 of the wall's length, but the bit we did stroll ...

... though we do horrible jobs on the poem, the crowd just loves it...you can literally do no wrong! Anyway, I came to find out that somehow I and my team actually won the pronunciation competition! Man, those must be some tone-deaf judges...that or maybe I'm just too cute! Annnyywaaay, so with this, my team got to go the finals and then won the debate. To thank the foreign teachers for participating, they gave us CDs, but unfortunately the CD I randomly picked ended up being Kid Rock!
