MONDAY 7TH SEPT
We arrived at the city of Chengdu to find our hostel's free pick up from the train station no where in sight. So we grabbed a cab and arrived at the lovely Traffic Inn hostel (not hotel which is next door). They apologised for not picking us up and paid for our cab fare. We were shown to our room in a converted warehouse building which looked nothing like the pictures on the website. The Traffic Inn is brand new and has only been open for three weeks. It is run by a chi...
this is our second day in Chengdu, we arrived yesterday and so took today to look around the city. There si a main road running through the middle of the city so it is quite smoggy to walk around. we saw the Mao statue today which we surrounded by tones of water fountains! every kind you can think of with smoke jets, water cascades and jets that move to form hearts! it was pretty good. there are loads of army serplus shops around here they sell pretty random things like bomb disposal gloves.....

We made it to Chengdu, capital of the Sichuan province to get ready for Tibet. Quite a few foreigners go to Tibet from here either by plane or train so that it is relatively easy to find people to partner with as a way to reduce expenses for getting a compulsory "tour" coming with the necessary Tibetan permit.
We found 2 Japanese Nishi and Wacky and a Tibetan agency which had an OK price (220 Euros for 8 days with 4x4).
Apart from that, the city (10M inhabitants) is know...
Another long bus journey to Chengdu saw us arrive late afternoon. We headed out on the first night for a buffet, secretly hoping it might be a western style buffet. When we got there it was clear it wasn't. There was loads of food just not a lot of what anyone wanted to eat; brains, chicken feet, pigs hooves and live fish were not on most people's wish list! We followed dinner with a trip to see the Sichuan Opera Show, which was put on purely for the tourists, but still v.enjoyable.

After eating one of those horrible Chinese breakfast made of brittle plant shoots and really doughy bread we made our way to the bus station. Purchased our bus tickets for 12:00 departure, so we had a couple of hours to lounge around at the station. We had a job getting our luggage through the security as they were taking all liquids off people including water at the entrance to the waiting hall, presumably as a precaution against some kind of bomb attack on a bus. The bus journey proved to b...

... look like foxes/raccoon/pandas maybe mixed together? They are really unique looking. The guy told us we could hold one for only 50 RMB, but later I think he was ready to go so he made up some Chinese excuse as to why we couldn't...We went to a museum. I bought the gayest/coolest T-shirt every (Pete or Aaron if you read this you will be jealous), and then we left. We got back to the room early, like at 1pm. The girls decided to ...

... flight and we got into Chengdu around 10 AM. From there we went to get our rental car, which was a Buick mini van. We jammed all of our stuff and 10 people into the van and we were on our way to have lunch at Jimmy and Tommy's parents house. It was about a 45 minute ride and we met up with Jimmy's older son and a few other friends of the family on the way. Once we left the highway it was an extremely bumpy ride back to where we ...

... and disappointed in Australia this was a tad risky but we came away very impressed. I had it washed 3 times in all, my ears wibbled, head and neck massaged, and it carefully clippered and cut in a non-descript place we stumbled across. All for less than 3 quid. They were disappointed not to get their hands on Sarah's blonde locks. The only downside was an inexplicable finger in each ear during one of the drying steps.

... lurkers in the shadows. Anyway, it was an interesting experience to say the least, and one we were not keen to repeat. Chengdu turned out to be a really nice city; a mixture of old and new, with great parks and side-streets to investigate. It also of course has the main attraction which was the Panda Breeding Institute. I was so excited about this I couldn't sleep the night before and I was not disappointed. They are DAMN cute ...
