Long Fu Hotel Chengdu

... qu'on se fixe dans la vie qui compte,
et a quel point c'est facile les realiser. Il n'y a pas de joke ici.



Bien sur on pourrait croire que j'en ai eu assez apres 5 games de quilles, mais je voulais souffrir comme ces pauvres Chinois souffrent, donc on est aller manger de la fondue huileuse dans un espece de complexe restaurantier.
J'ai manger beaucoup de spam. Mais le mec de Taiwan faisait juste
commander assiettes apres ...

... mon systeme a overdoser aux belles choses de la vie. Et comme d'habitude, je vais commencer par la fin :

"Je suis plus malin que les chums jaloux chinois".

Dieu merci que "Negociation avec terroristes" etaient un cour a option en linguistique. Et que c'etait pas en meme temps que les 5 a 7. Desoler Phonologie, c'etait toi ou la biere. Le meilleur B+ de ma carriere!

Bon encore une divaguation me direz vous. Votre probleme! La phonologie a ete ...

... might know one or two words like "Toilet." But no. It forces foreigners to learn more Chinese which is interesting. There are more English teachers here (who are paid perhaps $400/mo; few in India/Nepal are paid). Cities are richer and perhaps better organized. The ring roads system here in Chengdu is nice but the regular road naming is frustrating - the names are non-numeric and change about every 100 meters. The bus system is nice but could be a bit easier to ...

... quite well. I have a video of that, but I’m not sure I’ll be able to upload it until I get home because the connection here is so slow. A couple of other people sang songs as well. It was our turn then. Our best success was the “Hokey-Pokey,” since we managed to get more than half of the students to join us in our circle that took up most of the gym. I would have gotten video of that too but I was in the demonstration, and didn’t ...

Today started better. The bed wasn't too uncomfortable and I got to get Bintong to call home. I also took a shower and it wasn't as bad as I thought, I didn't fall in the toilet. We went to lunch at the same place. I have really liked trying all of these different foods. I bought these grape gummies called meijue, some veggie cookies, coffee dense, orange juice drink, and so on. I have never been very adventurous with food, but now I will try ...

... Whilst staying in Chengdu we booked a 3 day cruise down the Yangtze river through the three gorges for new year. We had heard mixed reviews about it so was not sure what to expect. As it turn out despite a long buss journey (obviously they didn't tell us about that! ) it was excellent. the boat was like an old worn out huckleberry fin river boat and we had to change ...

... and have long been sick of the greasy and often too exotic food, thus having something totally home-made and familiar was such a treat. Shortly after lunch, we got a call from my youngest aunt from my father's family. I had spoken to her on the phone the day before as she lives in Chongqing, eight hour train-ride away, and I was sorry that we had not planned to visit Chongqing on this trip (three of my father's sisters and their families ...

... als mensen je zo nederig bedienen (handdoekje aangeven etc.). Het zelfde gevoel hadden we in die spa in Shenzhen. De Chinezen stellen zich heel superieur op ten opzichte van het personeel, sommige zijn echte snobs, maar Bas en ik betrapten ons toch wel vaak op het uitroepen van "Sorry sorry" als we dingen niet begrepen of in de weg stonden (alsof wij in de weg staan en niet 'zij'). Wat zijn we in Nederland toch lekker egalitair. Wat betreft de rest van Shanghai ...

... a la fin, tout en dehors des regles et ca a marche. Tout ca pour 210 Yuans, 20 euros. Il me redonne mon passeport et un recu. Je lui demande un detail sur l'histoire du Pakistan pour rebondir sur un document que j'etais en train de lire pour tuer le temps (j'exagere, ca m'a pris moins d'une heure!!!). Il me repond tout fier que je m'interesse a l'histoire de son pays. Il me dit d'attendre car il a quelque chose pour moi et revient avec une carte touristique du ...

... only throw a few, but i throw two whole baskets so our table and our floor were the dirtiest. chiel was laughing a lot. I did not get too embarassed. I really enjoyed the show as it is quite an original thing to do. Apparently this was a traditional enterteinment art for the empress and emperor but as sometimes happens traditions die, but the sichuanese did not want this to happen so they open this show to the tourist as a way to show us a bit more of their tradition and ...
