But to compare it to China meal prices it is quite expensive.<br><br>As a bonus I am adding some KFC pictures. This is taken in Dalian and my western friends call it the KFC church. Because ... it looks like a Church. None of the others look like this one. So, I wanted to share it with you. Enjoy...<br><br><br>

... behind me were ok since they would honk to let me know they wanted to be where I was. But one time I looked up and saw a car coming toward me &#8211; IN MY LANE!!! I had to go around him but check first that I didn&#8217;t pull into the path of a car screaming down the road. Finally, I made it to the beach and then I rode on the sidewalk as much as possible. I know, I know &#8211; I am a chicken.<br><br>The view was still clear, but by now the sun was getting lower in the sky so I had ...

... due to memory loss here). The first piece of sea I elbowed my way to, unfortunately seemed to have the Giant's Caseway underneath it, but I eventually found some sea-covered sand. It would seem that many Chinese cannot swim, as there were quite a number of adults using inflatable supports; and there was a rather steep population gradient: a few yards out to sea was clear, which facilitated another good half an hour's swim. On drying ...

... hour. When I arrived at Dalian, I called the hotel (the only reason I even bothered was because Dalian is very busy in summer and the hotels there are expensive). A much nicer woman than last time said they were full and my booking seemed to have been cancelled at 18:00pm. In some ways relieved, I walked over to the airport information desk and booked a hotel room. It was cheaper than the one I&#8217;d booked online and the information desk worker even walked me over ...

We stepped in and I howled with laughter.<br><br>On the two little cots that were side by side, lay little cotton pjs, which we changed into and waited for our masseuse. When the gentlemen came in, they introduced themselves and started by placing warm pillows on our stomachs and ...

... to look over all the 'opportunities' I was looking for something that would be small, and over quick&#8212;the festival itself was three weeks long.<br><br>One of the roles was to assist with the Opening Ceremony... which totally fit the bill. Small setup and only scheduled to last ten minutes. Well, I was kind of right.<br><br>The students who were responsible for this part were sweet, but extremely indecisive, which meant that we kept having meeting, after ...

It is Heidi first full day of teaching, and we are launching our Stock Market Game. The premise is simple, randomly handout six cards to every student that is either $100 or a stock (A,B,C,D) explain to them the goal of the game is to amass the most wealth that they can. It works best with two people, because one person can be in charge of randomly changing the price of stocks (all going up) and the other can be the bank, loaning out $1000 for every $100 of insurance ...

... delayed and eventually dismissed in the 90's. His tasteless variety shows are the worst possible drivel interrupted by high decibel advertising, and the news reports only what is favored by his center right ideology. But, the guy is rather likeable. He's funny, irreverent, likes his wife and the pope, and gets a few things done in a country where ...

... The larger of these two local displays included a stage set with a steel frame galley for the lighting set, stage and sound equipment. The stage was probably 40x60'. It included 4 programmed searchlights that started up a couple of days before. The smaller event decorated the building a few days before, including a 100 foot long red carpet for the ceremony. Then there ...

... co-ed 8 x 200m (huh?) always makes it that much more interesting. Check out the pics and the videos of the tai chi preformance. By the way, the music in the tai chi performance is played every single day at recess time. The exact same song blaring through the speakers...yay.
