Royal City Hotel Guiyang

... br>The best bit about yesterday has to be that Tom went out looking for dinner whilst i grabbed a shower, and when he came back, he had chips and sausage! We have eaten nothing but noodles and rice with spicy food stuffs for 10 days to finally have something mildly english, was amazing. Even if the chips were under-cooked, and the sausage over-cooked. Oh well.<br><br>We're off to Kunming today on a train, heading south to Laos.

... going to the police station! a woman took us here. I always say that the police should help the people, not terrifed them - and this is true here too!<br><br>We are well - it is hot and humid, and Billy told us to eat less and to drink more water - I tasted their tea and coffee: not recomendated but that's what they have. water we buy - but there are containers of purified free water everywhere - Eyal is afraid to drink it.<br><br>

... paper circle and put it in your hand and then add which ever vegies you want, stacking them on...then you kind of wrap it all up except for one part...where you pour the chilli-soy-something sauce into it and then pop it straight into your mouth. :) yum, and fun! <br>Josh and Lyon headed back with CD and another guy who was a piercer and Josh got his eyebrow pierced!!!<br>after that it was time to pack up and head to the train station...destined for Kunming!

... barps' and we were off on a hair-raising ride through the rush hour traffic including a u-turn generating the loudest response yet. Somehow we arrived at the hotel having just lost sight of the taxi, but luckily we spotted Helen on the footpath waving her piece of paper at us, and not a scratch on the truck. A close one but we are now in a nice newish bright and clean pub, on the 16th floor, laughing at the cacophony below. It is chaos out there and we are off for a bite.

A Xiang-yi works at her birthplace, a 1,000-household Miao village in Xijiang town famous for its ancient ethnic architecture. She told China Daily on Thursday that she had "mixed feelings" over the sudden rise to fame. "I'm very happy that people like me, but I'm also worried that some people ...

... to see there, a waste of time. Buy some fruit and sweets for supper in the train, and we are left at Guiyang train station, among milions of chinese people. The train has no closed cabins, and we must sleep in the beds in the middle of the corridor, more than 80 persons per wagon. This will really be an experience.

... capital of the province. Check in, a short walk, and buy something for supper in a supermarket: some dehidrated noodles, to which you only have to add some boiling water to cook them.

... station and took us to a very nice hotel in town. We told them that it was too fancy but they insisted that we stay there and it wouldn't cost us anything because their uncle owned it. Hesitantly we agreed. They left us to unwind and freshen up before taking us on a tour. We stopped by and saw Wendy's mother at her work, then on to number 3 middle school where Wendy's family lives.

Whenever we popped up, the oldies were always delighted to have such distinguished foreign guests, usually putting on a bit of a special show. We were invited in for a game of badminton, which gathered quite a crowd. I'll really miss the instant celebrity status of being a westerner in ...
