Tiankelong Business Hotel Taiyuan

... we slept in our bus, going nowhere! <br><br>His alarm went off around six in the morning and he roused a few others from their sleep! Simultaneously, a row of taxis joined the bus. One by one the taxi drivers hopped out! (Oh God! What's going on here??) They each took a bag from the bus and once again disappeared. Some of the helpers jumped into a passing white van. And a strange old man passed the bus, nonchalant, but walkin backwards up the road. We shrugged off ...

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 ...

... all these problems. Through internet, Native Chinese teachers can offer professional Chinese for Children and propose useful advice on how to learn Chinese. What's more, online learning also offers convenience and flexibility.

... around it. The hotel was also built into city just like the rest of the buildings. Again, our room was beautiful and it actually contained an entire suite. We hustled off to dinner. Dinner was trip. Mr. Cao was funny and very witty, but a bit twisted and he certainly enjoyed making other people uncomfortable. He also like to drink, a lot. A self-proclaimed alcoholic, he enjoyed watching us squirm as he kept pouring the shots ...

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 ...

... i kdyz jenom jednu). Pak jsme vyrazili na obhlidku. Taiyuan ma jenom jednu skutecnou zajimavost. Cca 60 km od mesta se nachazi dvorec rodiny Qiao, dum, ve kterem se tocil slavny film Vyveste cervene lucerny. Tam jsme jet proste museli. Na recepci nam poradili i spravne nadrazi, ze ktereho jet, nicmene jsme se rozhodli si vylet nechat az na dalsi den a idealne se do Taiyuanu vubec nevracet a jet rovnou do Pingyao. Pak jsme tak ruzne zabijeli cas, sli jsme navstivit ...

... was a good day for observing panda activity. The highlight was two younger pandas that kept wrestling with each other. I took tonnes of videos! The golden monkies were also hilarious to observe: they make the most ridiculous noises, and this one male had us cracking up everytime we fed it some leaves. Our fourth day in Xian was rather sad. We recieved a text message early in the morning that our dog - Seamus - the best ...

... them out a minute later. There's a nice sesame sauce you can dip the food into and its a fun way to eat and is very delicious. My favorites are lamb(yangrou), flat noodle (fentiar), mushrooms (mogu), and fish balls (yuer). I had this same dish in Japan, but for some reason its much better and much more interesting here in China. Anyway, this is my last entry from my university here in Taiyuan, so stayed for further adventures in south China and Korea!

... practices setting up tents and the gets ready for lunch. It's a rocky small river because of the dam control, but it's peaceful and there are many people out today having picnics. Jason was there and also two of my students came along, Shu Fei (English name Fish - I don't know why) and Liu Jing (no English name). We all run off to do some fishing, which consisted of Jason wading in the dirty water and slamming his hand into the water to try ...
