... it won't be the perfect time to see the place at its best, but that doesn't make it any less that place. I didn't see Israel at its best when I went but it remains the one place that completely blew my mind in all my travels. Hard times bring out the best as well as the worst in people.

Xinetes fines de fins cabells negres, ben pentinats, homes gruixuts de cap gran, rodo, de cara de peix bullit, ulls i llavis inflats i orelles carnoses; ancians arrugats d ulls de linea i ulleres enormes de pasta, de la revolucio cultural; uniformes mao gastats, colls rectes i gorres de visera curta, vestits porpra, saques de coto i policies de totes les mides; dos estrangers i un esparracat de vint anys, que sembla que porti dos segles rondant la terra.

... Budda faces the water as he watches over it and prevents it from flooding. At the Longmen Caves, there are two large Budda grottoes (shallow caves with carvings) and loads upon loads of smaller statues carved into the surrounding area. The stairs aren't too plentiful, but they are suprisingly tiresome. I am blaming it on the 100 degree F sweltering heat. Despite my half Philippino bloodline, I don't think my body handles the heat well. At ...

... they at least know most of what you need to know. I found several of them waiting in a line at the entrance to the train station car park and within a second after mentioning Jigong Shan they all pointed behind them to a small line of mini-vans parked waiting for fares. Within minutes I became one of the fares and within five minutes we were on our way! So those who ...

After getting our cultural fix we jumped on another bus and headed to Lanzhou, the capital of the Gansu province. There's not a huge amout to do here, which is a good job as we spent all our time battling with China's renowned transport system to organise how we were going to get to our next location - a true taste of China! We did manage to get a rather plush room for a bargain price to rest our ...

... things have changed a bit in Lanzhou. There are big buildings going up all over, and my favorite food stall had moved. With all the privatization going on in China, things change quickly.
