Shun He Hotel Chengdu

... voir le grand bouddha sculpte a meme une falaise. La sculpture fut completee en pres de 100 ans et s'eleve a plus de 71m. Nous sommes aussi alles voir les fameux pandas geants (et les pandas rouges) du centre d’elevage. Ensuite, nous avons pris le train pour le Tibet. Le trajet d'une duree de 45h atteint une altitude de 5072m (avec sorties d'oxygene incluses dans les cabines). Le paysage y est magnifique surtout a la fin du trajet.

... empereur en tout cas, trop petit...) je crois que c'etait militaire) portait les gravures de 23 musiciens jouant 22 types d'instruments differents. Les arbres du parc avait des solutes, possiblement au chocolat.

COQUERELLES DANS CE CAFE INTERNET AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!

Apres ca on est alle acheter de la bouffe au Carrefour, l'espece de Walmart d'ici avec tout ce qui existe. C'est la qu'on a decouvert cet enorme brique de cake aux bananes qui causera ma ...

... turistas a los que les eche la bronca y se calmaron. Luego los llame para que vieran unos pandas que estaban jugando (porque se portaron bien).

Estuvo guay ver a los pandas a primera hora de la manana, cuando aun no se han echado a dormir, comiendo, jugando, banandose... Tambien vimos varios recien nacidos en la incubadora, pero a estos no se les podia hacer fotos.

Esta ...

... close to the gate? No, of course not. We have to keep going down the hill to a different lot to find it. But man, it was nice to sit again. And air-conditioning. I didn’t even care that the driver had been smoking on the bus again and it smelled like smoke. I was also really glad I’d brought a breakfast bar along, because I was quite starving.

We arrived back at the school just about exactly at six, all starving. Satomi and I were a little slow getting ready ...

... It turned out to be a wood processing plant not far from the university. We walked through the entire plant, and saw how the wood was cut, processed, made into boards, and coated. It was actually more interesting than I expected, because we got to walk into the heart of the machines and the control rooms. It was a brutal walk though, and my legs were pretty tired by the time we got back. After a short nap I worked on my homework.

This morning we woke up in Xi'an, enjoyed breakfast and made our way to the airport for our flight to Chengdu. The flight was only about 50 minutes, and it was the biggest and nicest plane we have been on so far in the trip. When we arrived in Chengdu, we got off the plane on the tarmac, instead of pulling up to a gate. A bus came and picked us up to shuttle us to baggage claim. The bus totally cramped, as everyone of us on the plane were shoved in one tiny busy, but to ...

Well our internet is working, but barely, and this is OK with me for the most part. Despite the addiction, I know that there is an internet cafe down the corner where I could go if this didn't work or someone was on the phone. You see, right now we have one working phone jack (the rest were damaged by the earth quake). This has to be used to call out and for the internet. When we want to use the internet, only one of us can right now because there is only one place to connect to ...

... eerst dat ze behoorlijk wat Engels sprak, dat viel toch wel tegen, maar ze was in ieder geval erg aardig. We hebben erg veel moois gezien hier, en alhoewel er soms letterlijk tientallen vlotten tegelijk de rivier over gingen (hebben wij daarvoor niet gedaan: toch niet zo idyllisch varen zo), kwamen we met Mo wel leuk op allerlei leuke (en modderige) paadjes waar geen Westerling te bekennen was, alleen wat koeien, waterbuffalo's, bejaarden die op het land werkten en mooie ...

... 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 ...
