Wu Liang Ye Grand Hotel Chengdu

Aujourd'hui j'ai commence la titanesque tache, ou task pour les anglophiles, de me commencer un curriculum vitae en chinois. <br><br> <br><br>Je vous demanderais d'ouvrir tout de suite Word et d'imaginer vraiment<br>fort, avec toutes vos 5 cellules cranienne a quoi ressemblerait un CV<br>Chinois. <br><br> <br><br>Pensez fort a ce qui est essentiel.<br><br> <br><br>Bon. <br><br> <br><br ...

... delayed. If the weather is bad flights to and from Jiuzhaigou are also invariably delayed. Actually, considering the airport is at 3600m on a hill in an area where the mountains are often about 5000m high (even the valleys are sometimes about 3000m), it is comforting that planes do not take off or land in ****** weather. Even with a couple of clouds and a tiny bit of wind, the landing is suitably scary. I enjoy the excitement myself, but the landing I had ...

... Beijing, where she intends to return. I had read (and heard just from listening to conversations!) that Sichuanese Chinese is quite different from the dialect spoken in Beijing, and she confirmed that it took her about a month after moving to Chengdu to understand what she was hearing! She said she loves the &#8220;Twilight&#8221; books and movie, at which one of the other girls chimed in to voice her agreement. I laughed to hear that they were enamored ...

... less than $1). He mixed the sliced meat with shredded lettuce. I declined extra chilli, good thing because it already had some. It was served in a small steamed pita bread that was sliced open. It was really good. I like the spice, although it was pretty salty. It was good and not dry, I did not need tatziki. I went to the room and Bill was still vegging. I read my book for a while and around 7:30 we decided to head out. I just wanted to go to Starbucks and maybe grab a snack ...

... playing the theme from the Fellowship of the Ring. All of the USAC kids thought that was hilarious. I have some pictures that I will try to put up later. Then I subbed for a teacher at the Crayon school, except this class was 11 and 9 year olds. They were very fun and less stressful then the little ones (but the little ones are cuter). While I was gone, the rest of the apartment dwellers readied the place for our housewarming party. This included decorating. Our apartment ...

... Then we packed up our stuff and got back on the road to the city of Chengdu. We stopped at one of Jimmy's friends places and gave him some peaches and drank some tea and then checked into a hotel that had VIP Building written on the front of it. The room was very nice and they actually didn't turn the power off during the day, so that allowed us to get a good nights sleep. The next day we were supposed to be in the lobby ...

... morning. We will only have one day in Xichang but then will be on schedule (hopefully) for the remainder of our journey. I'm sorry I haven't been able to upload any pictures but will have many stories and pictures to share when we return home. We appreciate all of your prayers and feel your support across the miles. With love, Wendy for the Tueys

... Time went pretty quick and we were able to check in at 3 for our 5:20 flight. The security was, interesting, very congested and confusing when it came to the security people telling you what to do, but it is China! I think if I didn't take my sweater off for Canada security they'd probably strip search me! They told Jes to put the laptop back in the bag, he left his sweater and belt on, which set off the metal detector. The woman at security waved ...

And I have arrived. Relatively unscathed. At least physically. Aside from the agony of the hard seat, squashed between the Chinese family and noodle slurping youth, with not enough juice in the pod and the knowledge that, were it not for Station *****, I would be feeling rested after a lovely day of sleeping my way to Chengdu. But it's the trials in life that make us stronger. And make for better blog entries. I step off the ...
