Li Jia Hotel Kunshan

Well, it has been a great semester. Those of you that will be leaving soon, I am sad to see you go, we had some good times. From Beijing to Xi'an it was a good run. Be sure to keep in contact through FaceBook, email, or whatever else and I wish you all a safe return. Maybe we will meet up again someday, but if not, it was good to know you, and have fun ...

... juuri mitään maksanut, joten en viitsinyt aiheesta sen enempää kuumoittua, mutta suosittelen silti olemaan tarkkana näiden äijien kanssa! Ajomatka hotellille oli hulluin ikinä ja mitään ajosääntöjä ei täällä näköjään noudateta. Tällä matkallakin oli nyt jo kaksi TODELLA läheltä piti tilannetta, kun vedettiin hirveää vauhtia punaisten läpi ja vielä vastaantulijoiden kaistalla! Hotelli (Astor House) oli ihan kohtalainen, valmistunut vuonna 1846 ja täällä on asunut mm ...

... want to meet here. -One thing I like best is the fact that Shanghai is an international city, but moreso than that I feel that it is the melting pot of China. I have not seen so many foreigners outside of my campus area, however going to the Pudong district I love seeing the migrant workers from the rural countryside taking the subway. They are so much different than the local Shanghai people, and very inquisitive. That's one reason I want to visit some rural China. New ...

... pas 6 jours semaine, surtout pas quand les journees finiseent rarement avant 17h30. Encore moins quand la nourriture est bof et que le travail ne finit pas necessairement a lusine. Il faudrait trouver le temps de me reposer, pour pouvoir apprecier un peu lendroit, et pour essayer de lutter contre le smog avec un peu denergie. Le smog est mon ennemi, mais il ajoute un charme bizarre a la routine: la ville est vraiment gigantesque, avec des gratte-ciel a nen plus finir. quand on se ...

... the shuttle bus to the track, it took me almost an hour to find the ticket that I was looking for at the price I wanted to pay. Section K is at the exit of the turn 14, a hairpin turn, after the back straight. It's quite possibly the best place to sit on the track aside from the VIP seats on the main straight at the starting grid across from the pits. K offers views of the entire back strait from turn 13 to the final turn 16. Cars scream down the track at ...

... to do was out doors. By the time we made it back to the hostel it had turned into a monsoon. We are hoping it will dry up for the Dragon Boat festival tomorrow or we will end up stuck inside watching dvds with all the other guests of Mingtown. We are painfully aware that we only have four days left so we really need the weather to clear up. We are quite pleased to be ...

... the People's Republic of China, and therefore anyone can go to Tibet (No problem!). But the reality is a bit more muddled. While not trying to discourage Chinese people from going to Tibet, the same can't be said for foreign tourists. And what better way to discourage foreigners from going to Tibet than by wrapping them up in massive amounts of red tape. We need something called a Tibet Tourism Permit, which nobody seems to be able to ...

... the football and the bar district and see as much as I can in my own way. But to go alone to Shanghai the first time would be a lonely time. I'm really glad I went with Daniel and Alexa. They are a really cool couple and awesome to travel with.

I would be meeting up with them later in the ...

... houses are being preserved and 'renovated' into smart Notting Hill-style areas full of boutiques, trendy eateries and Starbucks coffee houses. Day one We arrived in Shanghai early in the morning and went immediately to the Pujiang Hotel at the tope of the Bund. The LP has this hotel in it's budget section as it had dormitory rooms, but we thought there's been a mistake when we arrived as it's really rather grand! It was originally called the Astor Hotel and was one of ...

... sens inverse de la file pour ressortir du temple, et de fait perdu de vue notre guide avec le petit drapeau (si si, comme sur les Champs Elysees, on visite comme ca ici, et ceux qui perdent le drapeau de vue sombrent dans une panique folle) sous les quolibets des chinois qui devaient nous dire quelque chose du genre "mais enfin vous perdez le sens commun, le drapeau va dans l'autre sens !!!". Fort heureusement nous avons su retrouver l'enorme bateau amarre au pied de la cite fantome (un ...
