... style games and making them sing songs about something. The list goes on and on but those are the ones i remember off hand. After passing these 'proving your manliness' challenges the bride comes out of her room and off they go to the wedding ceremony which is basically an elaborate (very colourful wedding) and i didnt really understand what was going on. Then they all get changed (for like the third time...they presumably got cream on their first suits) and go off to the wedding ...

... se vyhyba jidlum se varenym ve znaku. Ale tady zalezi na uhlu pohledu, ackoliv se damicce z Evropy na vyvaru a jeho konzistenci nic nezdalo, Jenda z nej potom vyjedl vsechno maso az se za usima olizoval ;-) Samozrejme ke vsemu jako priloha ryze nebo nudle. Jime spise ryzi. Samotne nudle jako prilohu jsme si dali asi jen jednou. Prinesli je totiz s hustou sojovou omackou a pani ji tam rovnou nalila a zamichala to. Coz hlavne Jendu, ktery jeste neprisel na chut te jejich silne ...

... here. Its style and grandeur make it the most important in Tibet. Basically it's a tall, round building where the chapels are all little offshoots all around it, with stairs leading thro' the middle to 6 floors of similar chapels. It's quite a unique experience, once more, with every chapel containing an awful lot of detail. It was a case of quickly glancing most and carefully examining the details of others, as the 6 floors took some covering! There was a ...

... from the fact of three gifts, even though the biblical narrative never says how many Magi came. In some cultures, especially Hispanic and Latin American culture, January 6th is observed as Three Kings Day, or simply the Day of the Kings (Span: la Fiesta de Reyes, el Dia de los Tres Reyes, or el Dia de los Reyes Magos; Dutch: Driekoningendag). Even though December 25th is celebrated as Christmas in these cultures ...

... with artists from the US there was an outhouse shaped teapot. I'm sure the Chinese must think we're all nuts. After the museum we took taxis to see another dragon kiln. Li referred to this one as "antique." It was a 500 year old kiln used in the Ming (?) dynasty that is still in use today. They were getting ready to fire it the next day. This kiln was much more "dragon" like than the first one we saw. It looked like a huge ...

... purpose. What a beautiful idea! My waitress was a student from Zhengzhou here on her summer break earning money by working for her aunt. Her English was actually not too bad but she obviously had a problem listening as when I ordered Fried Rice (both in English and Chinese) she would then point to the most expensive thing on the menu ...

... still me! There really is still and hopefully always will be a part of me inside that will always do something stoopid enough to make those around me wonder how the hell I got this far. But the fact is, I have got this far and part of that fact is the fact that I do stoopid things that help change my future pathways for the better. So Wednesday found me up much ...

... Jiangxi Province. History: Jiangle County was the first county in Sanming established in the Three Kingdoms Period (220-280). For thousands of years, Jiangle County has remained until now, and more counties were established in this area. The name of the city 'Sanming' came from the combination of the two counties, Sanyuan and Mingxi, which ...

I couldn't believe I was back in the City where a 8 months ago, after a 6000 km, road trip across the 'Silk road', I'd sold my new motorbike for peanuts to a local guy, and here I was again wishing I'd kept hold of it. David, my internet friend stated 'Is easy', referring to getting into Tibet. Everything 'was easy', according to him! It certainly wasn't ...

... upon a 3-wheelcart full of watermelon. DP decides her time has come, and wants one. Our lady helps with the selection and negotiation, and when DP insists on paying the Y5 for a good sized one, she negotiated one of the small yellow melon to be thrown in. After another taxi-ride back to the bus station, she negotiates the ticket buy, we pay, and bid her a fond farewell outside the bus station. By this time DP has put the watermelon in the backpack. Our ...
