Ningxia Changxiangyi Hotel Yinchuan

... se pustili do ruznych druhu masa (nakonec se ukazalo, ze i vnitrnosti), tofu atd. Jelikoz nas vsechny bolelo v krku z vsudypritomne klimatizace, rozhodli jsme se, ze konecne okusime mistni palenku Baijiou (jen Misa odolala pokuseni). A nyni se panove drzte, cena velkeho panaku byla 1 yuan, coz odpovida asi 2.70 Kc. Panska cast tedy neodolala a vypalila bacily dalsimi 2 panaky.<br><br>Po opusteni jidelny Adela zanedlouho zamirila do ...

... jako je letadlo.<br><br>U prepazky nam s prekladanim Anglictina- Cinstina pomahal jeden kluk z Mongolska. Rekl nam, ze vypadame jako "movie stars". Ani ta odpudiva plastenka, co jsem mela na sobe, ho od tohoto tvrzeni neodradila:)<br><br>Pote nasledovala destiva pout za jedinou internetovou kavarnou v Yinchuan. Kdyz jsme kavarnu nasli tak pokracovalo hledani jedineho hostelu ve meste (Jixiang Xixia Internacional Youth Hostel) a divoka jizda v ...

... very funny experience. it takes skills to master peeing on a hole. hahhaa. it really does.<br><br>so we arrive to the place that will be our home for the next 2 months. Our apartment is a mixture between modern and 60's and 80's furniture style. quite original I have to say. But then we got invited to our landlord's place... and this is a funny story. our landlords are a young chinese couple who speak a few words of English ...

... we wanted to pay, and three times more than we were prepared to pay. Oh well, we figure, we need some rest and it's really not that exorbitant. We check in. Originally, Yinchuan wasn't on our itinerary for this trip sampling China's Midwest. However, last year back in Foshan our friend's friend, Alan, had shown us some pictures of these beautiful golden-leaved trees growing out of the desert sand. These trees' leaves only turn their particular ...

... as "the oriental pyramids." So far, only one tomb of the kings has beer excavated (serial No.8) and four accompanied tombs. And more than 100 relics have been unearthed such as gold decorative fittings, gilded silver fittings, bamboo carvings, pearls, bronze armor plates, iron tools, and pottery and porcelain vessels. On the ground, were found seated stone carvings ...

... that feels the most comfortable. When you find it kick back, open a cold beer and thank yourself for being where you are!

... ordered! This behavior is very normal to me but I notice it as I have traveled so far and wide and have been here for so long. Most visitors to China wouldn't even notice it just like the Japanese tourists who visit Australia. They have no idea that they pay double or sometimes triple the price for beer and seafood than a normal tourist who visits the Land Down Under ...

... I have paid the same to stand for the same amount of sleepless hours! Our arrival in Yinchuan city was as normal, a crowd of 'You Buy You Buy' or 'You Tour You Tour' people. We ignored all and grabbed a cab to the 'Old City' and around eight kilometers and several 'no foreigners allowed' hotels we arrived at a nice little hotel just off Zhongshan ...

... Charlotte told me was very like Bevan from Young Talent Time. It suited him I think as I felt very bad for him having to carry the heavy water saddle bags, me AND an enormous bag so I would often think to myself, "Oh, poor Beeevan!" (Sorry, only BoZos and Erika will understand that one). Liz's camel was the BFG, Pip's was Warwick due to his uncanny resemblance to Warwick Cappa, Charlotte's camel was Eboni Rae as she was a lovely dark colour, and the lead camel ...

... not quite celebrity. We are treated like escaped circus animals, or people famous for doing very bad things like eating children (calm yourself Bruce Cambell). We are stared at in the street. People nudge their friends and point at us, to make sure nobody is going to miss the sight. Young children either run up to us laughing and pointing or turn to their mothers in tears. At the bus station the other day we were sat doing quite literally nothing, aware that ...
