... br>Taiyuan mel byt pro nas jen prestupni stanice, ale nakonec jsme v nem stravili cele odpoledne. Taiyaun je vice nezmilionove mesto, prestavbu centra dokoncili pred 2 roky. Hlavni ulice je misty az dvanacti proudova dalnice. Nikde tu nikdy nedelaji nic maleho. Asi sem nejezdi moc turistu. Vsude na nas zirali a v obchodech se nas ani nesnazili moc natahnout, takze jsme tam vubec nesmlouvali. Zasli jsme na jidlo, do muzea umeni provnicie Shanxi a posedeli v mistnim parku.<br>

... and Juliet-type love story, which ended in two young lovers dying. It was really beautiful, although it was sad to know that that story was the only story this performance hall had played since it opened and the only story it would ever perform. After dinner Mr. Cao was waiting for us and he wanted to have some more drinks. Obediently we joined him for some more wine before Jenn, thank her blessed soul, told him we were tired and ...

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 come to her house for dinner. We said yes and she wrote the place to meet in chinese. At 7pm we hopped in a cab then waited at the place until she arrived. She said that she had gotten a call to go back to the gorge after she left us and it was raining with no visibility. She made us a dinner which was fun to share in her small place. I'll blog more about this later. For now it is time to catch a flight.

... chram (jedina vyjimka, studentske vstupne za 2 yuany), kde se mimo jine nachazi provincialni muzeum. Chram pekny, muzeum nic moc. Pak jsme vyrazili na autobusove nadrazi koupit listek, tam nam pratelsky sdelili, ze listek si muzeme koupit az v den odjezdu. Famy o tom, ze cestovani autobusem je levnejsi nez vlaky, jsou skutecne jenom famy. A studentske listky taky nemaji. Druhy den jsme se sbalili a s pevnym rozhodnutim se do Taiyuanu nikdy nevratit (haha) jsme ...

... in the universe!!! had suffered a series of bad seizures and tragically had to be put down. Tears were plentiful and our grief insurmountable - he had been the bestest of friends to every single member of our family, and the thought of him no longer being around, begging for food or yipping at the door or just being adorably soft, cute and cuddly, was crushing. On this day we planned a trip to Mount Hua Shan, also ...

... difficult to believe (as I imagine you will as well), but he swore it was true and another student backed it up. It's not at all uncommon to meet college graduates in China, both men and women, who have never had sex. Not just sexual intercourse, but people who have never even kissed a boy or a girl...who've never held the hand of someone from the opposite sex! That's where this story comes from - there was this couple, both ...

... catch something, which he amazingly did! After some talking and "fishing", we go back for lunch. Xiao Kao is on the menu (meat on a stick in America, which we don't really have and yakiniku in Japan, very popular). It's basically BBQ where you take small pieces of meat or even vegetables and put them on a skewer and them cook them over a fire - very tasty, but a lot of work sitting around the grill, if you consider sitting on a rock and ...
