... conservancy project ever undertaken in the world. There’s no better way to explore all these amazing sights than taking a China Yangtze cruise. And Yangtze River is really a must if you are planning to make a China tours.

I will travel in there another time!

On Nov 3rd we took an 8:00
am train from Chengdu to Chongqing for a city tour before leaving on
our Yangtze River Cruise. This appeared to be a very metropolitan
city. The guide said there were 30 million people considering the
suburbs of Chongqing. However, it does not appear to be as big as
Beijing. But the city is more urban with TONS of what appear to be
new apartment buildings 30 or 40 stories high. It looks like a more
wealthy modern city.

Back ashore and after spending the previous day traveling in the coach for about 7 hours I woke up very excited as we were going to see the Pandas. We arrived at Chengdu Panda Research Centre, and within five minutes walk into the grounds there were a couple of adult pandas before us munching on bamboo. The pandas are kept in enclosures which are fairly large, so we went on ...

... bathroom right next to the bed. Fortunately, the fan was strong enough and the shower compartmented enough that the steam was sucked away. The room was also large with a fair view so we stuck with it for our entire visit—3 days. Most bothersome of all, however, was the exhibition toilet. It was behind a CLEAR glass partition right next to the bed. It was clearly visible from anywhere in the room. As we mentioned before, “business” hotels tend to have clear windows ...

... nicer luxuriating through Laos and hop-stopping through Cambodia where no pollution - in relative terms - existed at all. I wonder, sometimes, if this relentless drive to become the world's economic superpower is really worth it, and simultaneously, whether the Chinese really know what the hell they're doing....
That's - almost entirely - for another story.

Woke up early in order to get to the hostel for 6.50am so that I could get the bus to Chongqing (where the Yangtze River cruise starts). Checked out of the hotel and walked along the road to the hostel where a guy and a couple were waiting for me in a MPV/mini-van, even though I was on time.Anyway, we left and drove a short distance to a large hotel where people were waiting on a bus. I got on board and luckily other people turned up so at least I didn't hold anybody up. The bus ...

... is finished, the town Fengdu has been knocked down and relocated across the valley. All that remains further up the hill is a temple known as the City of Ghosts which has been made up as a real tourist attraction. I didn't particularly enjoy the tour becuase of the lack of authenticity and would have rather spent the time looking at the new Fengdu and seeing what ...

We arrived in Chongqing with only a few hours before we were due to board the boat so were whisked off on a whirlwind city tour. First stop, a wealthy man's house which is now a government museum near to the airport which shows the way the wealthy men would live with their concubines and their "number one wife". Amazingly ornate beds with the distinction between concubine and wife being the height, number of layers and amount of gold inlay making ...

... things we have done. Teaching is just the same ol thing every day now. But it is nice that teaching is second nature because it allows me to enjoy my time with the kids and just fool around with them. Takes a lot of the stress of. Steve, Jill, Meagan and I are finishing up all of our lesson plans for the rest of the month, which makes the fact that we are leaving soon really set in. 2 weeks tomorrow Lor and you will be coming to see ...
