... the open talk was packed standing room only. We had students and locals, over 20 people. I think that is a little too much. But we had some good discussions. They all agreed that this is a good forum to practice their English skills. I had to tell them that I would be leaving for a week and going to Shenzhen.

... English and how tourism is their future. I still have my free oral English class every evening at 6. Only have a few people but we have fun. One of the kids came by she was learning a new song in school and wanted some help. Thought it might make a good Christmas card. Visited a couple of the local schools. One a new one a friend is setting up. He is into this many small school mode. I am not sure of his plan but he rents 3 or 4 rooms ...

... we'll just stay up there for a night rather than opting to be driven around in a van full of tourists for the day. As you can see from our pictures, the weather was a little iffy (forcing Kaitlin to bust-out her blue Chinese rain boots), but the terraces shrouded in mist were quite beautiful. The extra bus rides were definitely worth the trip, and at least now we've reminded ourselves why you should always skip the tour bus.

... language. For example "the attention is safe" these types of signs just make me laugh LOL. So we hiked up tot the top and took many pictures on the way. This city is located on a river and is just so pretty. So we make it to the top and think it may rain. Well of course it rains and at this point we could have waited it out at the top of the mountain under a metal umbrella with about 15 other people. So we decide that this does not sound like the best option so we go down the ...

... arms with the person next to you. The food on the plane was - well - food! I can't say much more about it. Soft drinks were warm, rolls were from a very heavy dough mix, rice very gluggy. But it was edible and filled the gap! Customs in Melbourne allowed me to take a small glass bottle on the plane that contained about 25ml of liquid medicine. Going through the domestic customs in China, it was taken off me. I tried in vain to explain that I had to have it or Melissa might be sick on ...
