Shanxi Hotel Taiyuan

... crowd has gathered, someone will cry "Taiyuan" and the crowd will ooh and ahh in a "Oh you mean Taiyuan, sure you should have said" kind of way! <br><br>Ticket successfully in hand, we followed our Bus Lady across the road to our sleeper. (She had the most beautiful boots) The bus was filled with the tiniest bunk beds you've ever seen. Just about big enough for a short leprechaun to lie on his side and curl up his feet. (mild exaggeration only)<br><br>The bus ...

Z Wutaishanu jsme vyjeli autobusem v 8:10. Cesta do Taiyuanu trvala asi 4 hodiny, vetsina osazenstva ji prospalo - i kdyz personal autobusu se to snazil narusit poustenim nejake cinske superstar neuveritelne nahlas. <br><br>Jedna zastavka na benzinove pumpe. Zacina se zdat, ze toalety na benzinkach budou hlavnimi adepty na cenu "Zachod Julie Hubenakove". Hlavne devcata si porad nemuzou zvyknout na vykonavani potreby pred zraky ostatnich Cinanek ve fronte. O zapachu ani nemluve ...

How to learn Chinese is a frequently asked question. Occasionally, people would like to find a tutor to help them learn Chinese. Actually, in modern times with fast development of internet, online mandarin Chinese seems more ...

... She had an entourage of people with her and we loaded on to a mini tour bus. We drove straight to the Jinci hotel, which is super nice hotel near the jinci temple. <br><br>Our room was gorgeous and it came with free slippers it also had a great view. About 10 minutes after being there we saw a rainbow, that's the second one in the last three days. Again, there was no rain! I'm not really sure what's up with that. Maybe they do this ...

We get dropped off at the Qingxu service station at 2:30am. There's a 24hr convenient store, we find a row of plastic seats and tries to make it until the sun comes up. We have been on the road nonstop for 18 hours, have to wait 7 more hours before we can find a bed.

... we would show us one. We told her we'd like to buy her lunch and she said ok. It was nice to have her along as she explained about the area specialty Chongdong fish. Unfortunately it cost 240 yuan so we got a different fish but cooked the same way for 40 yuan. You ask what kind of fish for 240? Catfish. Keep in mind the exchange rate is about 6.5 yuan to $1.00 After a good and not expensive lunch Lucy asked ...

... chram (jedina vyjimka, studentske vstupne za 2 yuany), kde se mimo jine nachazi provincialni muzeum. Chram pekny, muzeum nic moc. Pak jsme vyrazili na autobusove nadrazi koupit listek, tam nam pratelsky sdelili, ze listek si muzeme koupit az v den odjezdu. Famy o tom, ze cestovani autobusem je levnejsi nez vlaky, jsou skutecne jenom famy. A studentske listky taky nemaji. Druhy den jsme se sbalili a s pevnym rozhodnutim se do Taiyuanu nikdy nevratit (haha) jsme ...

... have taken the ancients longer than this!! The site of the Army of Terracotta Warriors itself was awesome. There were five buildings that we went into: the first building housed two half-sized bronze chariots. The detail of these chariots was amazing, but sadly the rooms, in my opinion, were somewhat poorly lit, which made it harder the take in the entire splendor of these chariots. The second building was were we got to ...

... streets are very far away from the train station and strangely the area around the train station lacked the usual cheap hotels that fight for your money. No one would budge in price and that included even two of the hotels in the Lonely Planet and these are most of the time the one's who do. The staff at the Tielu Hotel rudely laughed in our face which to me ...

... only reason they came and spoke with us - they were forced to!! Haha Now, I know what most people will say, "Have you made an effort to talk with them?". Yes. On several occasions myself and another foreign teacher have asked them to dinner or whatever and always we're rebuked. The other teacher even went so far as to arrange a get-together, buying food and drinks and such, at his apartment only to be blown off by all just before it was to begin! I ...
