Transcentury Hotel Nanning

... I can think of several highly charged moments with us and the locals, trying to push us out of the way! I remember being at a subway station just about to use a ticket machine, and this guy literally pushed me out of the way to put his money in first! Lastly is the commonplace staring... they just gawk at westerners and at times it can be very unsettling! Just a few habits one tame English boy found hard to get used to!<br><br>We saw a few sights in Chengdu, such ...

... another huge terminal and we asked for 2 tickets to Macau. " No ploblem! bus go in 8 minutes....Hully Hully!!" Well even better and faster than we thought. Indeed another " Normal" bus was waiting for us and let´s go!! It was 8 o´clock in the morning, so we could be in Hong Kong at 3pm! Fine and perfect for us, but all in a bit of a hurry. The tickets we bought, and we thought, were to go from Ghangzhou to Macau. So our plan was to stay a day in Macau, and than take the speed ...

... set my own travel arrangements, thus, it felt quite weird having everything ready without any heavy effort)<br><br>new country..<br>new adventure...<br>new travel friends...<br><br>We flew directly from Jakarta to Nanning, and arrived there midnight...<br>Checked into the hotel which is located rather outskirts of the city centre...<br>

... presented with a DVD of all the speeches. Sorry guys, I tried to find some that were short to upload them here, but you all talked so much I could not upload them to this website. The speeches are beautiful.<br><br>I will never forget you. I love you all.

... nauzila poletnih temperatur, saj bova od zdaj naprej potovala le se vedno bolj na sever in vedno bolj v zimo. Podobno kot v Kambodzi nama je tudi Vietnam dal poseben vpogled zgodovino 20tega stoletja in po videnih zlocinih Americanov je tezko verjeti, da se oni se danes postavljajo v vlogo ucitelja demokracije na zemlji. Tri milijone mrtvih Vietnamcev bi temu vsekakor oporekali, da se ne pogovarjamo o vseh nestetih zrtvah ameriskih bojnih strupov, ki sejejo smrt ...

... here as they have had lots of rain. The fields we passed all day long were just flooded. First we fill out an entry form and turn it in with our passports. We then go to health window and a young man puts a thermometer in our ear and checks our temperature for 2 yeun, we get a stamped paper saying we are o.k. We all seem to be healthy. Next we wait for our passports. It is a slow manual process. Len and I wait. Yes, there is a problem - we do not have a Chinese Visa ...

... development in other fields, was in clear need of new equipment and modernisation. And even basic refurbishment. But I think it's normal in a country like China which literally leaps forward into modern technological age. Some things shoot straight on and some lag behind, only to catch up one day in the future. This post office clearly belonged among the latter. I wrote the postcards and then we bought stamps. It would´ve been a usual procedure, particular in no way if ...

... been in China for a thousand years. Tibet China's final frontier and spiritual Shangri-la. Lhasa might be destined to succumb to red-hat tourism, but journey to the far eastern or western regions, where nomadic shepherds, colorful pilgrims and remote monasteries have yet to encounter a foreign face. ### Tom Carter of San ...

... I would return later, I said I would. I was hungry so kept looking, in the end I went down a side street. There are loads of stalls that locals use. I had a look then said to one girl 'I don't eat meat' in Chinese. She pointed to the green veg and noodles and smiled at me. I nodded and she motioned for me to sit down. A nice noodle soup for breakfast for 14p. I then headed along to the Vietnamese Consulate, which was a lot further along the road than I had expected it took ...
