Datong, Shanxi, China masovy_kasparekSo, another long weekend rolled around because our students had 2 days straight of exams. These exams happen 6 times a year where they are tested on every subject for the entire school day. Bad for them... great for the foreign teachers because we get Thursday and Friday off!

Fortunately we are only here for 24 hours and the first person we met from the CITS was extremely helpful and placed us in a hotel a few hundred yards from the train station. After a few hours sleep we headed out to the Hanging Temple in Hunyuan which took a about two hours by bus journey and taxi, where we took in amazing views of the mountains which are really ...
Datong, Shanxi, China pixelchickLast night we had our first trip on an overnight train with hard seats. There are three classes of travel - soft sleeper - similar to the kupe class through Russia, hard sleeper - 2 sets of triple bunks in open compartments, and hard seats - very hard, upright bench seats.

Datong, Shanxi, China pdjw... to and fro around me saying Hellow! Hellow! Some even bought me ice-creams and others a fried chicken stick. Most of the time the stall/store owners wouldn't allow me to pay so I would then purchase a few little things and then run off leaving them with the children who would then race after me trying to give them back. And who says that being lost in a maze is not fun! I soon ...
