No.10 Furong Road Yangshuo, Guangxi Zhuang, China, 0773-8880588
3/30/08 to 3/31/08: Took off from San Francisco at 1:23am on the 30th. I was able to move my sit. They had me switched to the back of the plane but then I was able to move to the emergency aisle. That was great, lots of legroom. Was able to get a little sleep. Arrived in Hong Kong at 6:20am. I talked to one of the cabin assistants and she told me about getting free Internet access and a place to lie down at the airport. Found the Internet but not until I was almost ready to get my flight to G...
YANGSHUO, China bob8888 Day 18
Today we arrived in Yangshou, I was amazed by the bizarre and beautiful karst hills, they are so unique and overlook the small town of Yangshou. Yangshou is a fairly quiet countryside town, but aatrcts quite a bit of tourism. Consequently there are quite a few westerners and quite a few Chinese people speaking good english. Today Gary, Scott, Damien and me spent the day walking around Yangshou, there are a lot of western restaurants which I enjoyed very much. After we looked aro...
Day 20
Very little happened today. We checked out of our hotel. I spent the afternoon in the Internet Cafe and then we had our last meal. We departed for Hong Kong at 7:30pm. Our train departs at 9:30pm and arrives at 2:30pm (17hrs!!) the following day.
The night train was packed with army soldiers and students going home for the National holiday, and one girl started talking to us about our trip and her life. A few minutes later she asks if we want 'to see something crazy?' and we were all a bit worried but before we knew it she had bought over a bag full of live crabs. A bit weird! I think she was crazier than the bag of crabs though! They were a present for her parents and she was keeping them under the bed on the train – we were g...

... to grow at about 8pm. I can see every so often one will go way to answer their cell phone and then all of a sudden a few more turn up. Word of mouth advertising. Had about 25 tonight at the late group. Even had a couple more of the headmasters from the training school stop by to see what their students have been talking about.<br><br>Tuesday, November 3rd: Had some of my friends come over to the “juice bar” and we completely rearranged ...
Yangshuo, Guangxi Zhuang, China bob8888... up Julia came and said it was a “free day” to go and get fresh water river snails. I was not sure what she meant because I see people down at the river all the time looking for snails. We decided to go down and see. There were all kinds of people up to their knees in the river searching for snails. Dawn and Saskia (the girl from Holland) jumped right in. They found some pretty good size ones but Julia said most would only be good for snail ...
Yangshuo, Guangxi, China bob8888... nation's colors. Unfortunately enough, I didn't get a picture to capture this great event.<br><br>After lunch, we went and sat by the river and drank a few Chinese beers. I know, I know, but imported beer is almost unaffordable for our salary. The river was only five steps from the street by now. The night before, it was 13 from the top at around 10 p.m. and 10 steps around 2 a.m. I think this is about as high as ...
Yangshuo, Guangxi Zhuang, China tonymont... This time I did not want to do that. <br><br>Once Dawn got back from her tutoring I found out that my phone can not do international and that they consider Hong Kong as and international call. So we used her phone. After hours of going from airline to airline and trying to explain that I do not want to spend a day in Xiamen (not sure where that is). They finally got back to us and said if I left a day latter I ...

Yangshuo, Guangxi Zhuang, China nax... light everywhere they could find which made it look like a cheesy spectacle. Leave it up the Chinese to overdo a naturally beautiful place and turn it into a tourist spot made to look like it belongs in Disney land. The pictures are very pretty, but my god, who wants to stare at the colors of the rainbow projected on cave features. It's tacky, like an 80s prom themed cave. They need to calm down with the overdoing it. After the trip to the 'Willy Wonka cave' we arrived back and then ...
