I’ve been in Tianjin for a few months now. I’m starting to get used to the workload and my studies have become a lot more manageable, but I’m seeing a whole other side of China that I don’t know how to cope with.
When I first came to China last year I saw things from the perspective of a tourist. Now that I’m living here, it’s becoming hard for me to just accept things because I’m in another country. The dust has ...
... no bridge crossing the river, we grabbed a taxi to take us out to the temple.
The temple was out in the middle of nowhere, and we asked the taxi to wait for 30 mins but he said it was too long. The entrance fee was only 2rmb and that itself should have been a warning. The temple seemed to be not a tourist attraction but an actual functioning temple where believers come to pray for this or that. As such, it was rather boring, very ...
... between the last and current posts I have had plenty of travels within the city and taken many pictures, I'll add only a few here of the area of the city close to the river.
With the passing of time, the gilding wears off and the truth of things come forth, but, as I've said before, I feel this city is close to me and I am connected to it - at least as much as ...
... to the bay. But I'm not feeling too hot and I might go out later. Back to town. Leg not happy on return train. Two girls one seat next to me. Miss a 643 and a 673. Leg doesn't mind a stretch. Not more than ten minutes another 643, that's the double decker. And reverse all that to Nanjing. I will shoot the river, all the bridges have some potential. As it turns out we don't go out. Sawrat, feeling appreciably better today.
... location, them with 'meter is broken, 25rmb?'. Of course, it only costs 10rmb to get back to her apartment from the bus station, but why should they assume we know that. Very annoying of course, we ended up taking one of the nu-rickshaws, with the motorcycle front.
That night we spent in the town center, searching for sushi - which we eventually found and was both delicious and too ...
October 1 I had the day off for the Celebration of Chinese National Day. It was the 60th anniversary of the founding of the Peoples Republic of China. I used this time to explore more of Tianjin. I did a lot of walking and sweating but it was worth it. Enjoy the Photos.

... time off so it's not really that much time off, but great for a trip.
For this trip I traveled to Chengde county to stay with my gal's parents and see the mountain's of China.
Wednesday night after work I took the bus out to Tianjin city and we went out to dinner and packed for the trip.
... these 2 guys came to our table and spun the noodles in the air to stretch the dough and then they put them in your pot. It was pretty cool. The pics from dinner only include about half the group cause some ditched out because of the rain and they had to ride their bicycles home.
And yes we had a private room at no extra cost for dinner.

... We walked to the grocery store and got some food then relaxed for the night. One thing I have learned in the last couple of days here in Tianjin is that banks are impossible to deal with. Brian spent 45 minutes cashing traveler's checks (thank god we didn't do that, mom).
Tianjin is a nice city, but the pollution is unbearable. It's been about 96-104 degrees every day since I've been here and I was just kicking a soccer ball around and my lungs hurt ...
