... na tema at si nacpou listky tam, kam jim slunce nesviti nebo hur. Takhle se jim dostalo pouze ceske verze. Nechat jen tak stovku za podezrelou pamatku v tehle dire se nam nechtelo, tak jsme vyrazili obhlidnout docela prijatelny park. Vzduch byl priserny, ve finale zacal jeste padat dest se snehem. Chvili jsme uvazovali, jestli je to fakt snih nebo radioaktivni popilek, pac nebe melo dost divnou barvu a ten snih pachnul. Ale rozpoustelo se to, tak to asi preci jenom ...

... papiers avec des adresses mails deboulent de partout. C'est partis, rien a foutre, je raconte tout ce qui me passe par la tete, le traducteur ne suit plus, c'est pas grave, je fais des grands gestes, tout le monde est content. Le jour se leve, peu importe, ca enchaine, on rigole, on crache noyaux, peaux de fruit, gratuitement. Ca y est, c'est Pingyao, on me fait de la place, on traine mons sac, jusqu'en dehors du ...

... It was very nice, not very touristy and lots of art students making clay copies of the statues. The following day we got the Pingyao Tourist ticket, which allowed us up on the City Wall and into about a dozen museums. We dawdled round the wall, so were left to run around about 3 museums, including China's first bank. All too soon our relaxing time in Pingyao was over...now onto the hustle and bustle (and probably smoggy air) of Xi'an. Cheers Gordon

... using our best bargaining skill although we walk away knowing we are still being ripped off! We have lunch in a small, empty restaurant. Never a good sign if somewhere is empty but we put it down to the time of day. We order a chicken dish and some rice and hope for the best. The 'chicken' arrived and we still think that it was actually gammon but not sure what we are eating we fill up on rice and quickly pay the bill! The rest of the evening we spend chilling at ...

... it was about ancient merchants and their family. I pretty much knew what was going on most of the time and after I left I was handed a flyer that gave the story in short and in English. At first I laughed and thought, how bloody Chinese is that! Give the foreigner the story in English after they have sat through it! But then I felt happy that I had sat ...

... about this! How much power does the government in China actually have? So much so that they simply wave their magic wand and millions go without power each day to enable Beijing City to function in comfort and no body says a damn thing! Around half past seven the welcoming sound of music could be heard and by eight the romantic charm of the cities red lanterns set the scene for a real ...

... left and right as everyone seemed to be taking pictures of me. People would say hello (their only english word) and some told me that I was "cool". Wow, I was the Chinese Fonz! At 8:30Pm I left on my overnight train to Xian. I will be happy if I never board another overnight train. Once again I had to push and pull to get my ...

... some insights into the Chinese psyche. Her point of view is that the Chinese are uncultivated, of course that's her only dissapointment here since she comes back every year. It's true that the Chinese do spit at every oppurtunity, on the bus, train, in the theatre or "politely" in a bin, then of course there is all the rubbish that gets dumped and ends up in the rivers, the noise with doors slamming, shouting down corridors to find ...

Karen!) - The Yingxun Gate, The Qinhan Gate,The Qingxugan Taoist Temple, The Confucius Temple, The Chenghuang Temple, The former Residence of Lei Livtai, The Ancient Government Building, The Rischengchang Remittance Bank, but we sadly missed the City Tower! As for the children they enjoyed the "doing" rather than the seeing, such as banging the drum and peeling the bell in the Confucius Temple, playing football ...
