... crowd has gathered, someone will cry "Taiyuan" and the crowd will ooh and ahh in a "Oh you mean Taiyuan, sure you should have said" kind of way!

Ticket successfully in hand, we followed our Bus Lady across the road to our sleeper. (She had the most beautiful boots) The bus was filled with the tiniest bunk beds you've ever seen. Just about big enough for a short leprechaun to lie on his side and curl up his feet. (mild exaggeration only)

The bus ...

Z Wutaishanu jsme vyjeli autobusem v 8:10. Cesta do Taiyuanu trvala asi 4 hodiny, vetsina osazenstva ji prospalo - i kdyz personal autobusu se to snazil narusit poustenim nejake cinske superstar neuveritelne nahlas.

Jedna zastavka na benzinove pumpe. Zacina se zdat, ze toalety na benzinkach budou hlavnimi adepty na cenu "Zachod Julie Hubenakove". Hlavne devcata si porad nemuzou zvyknout na vykonavani potreby pred zraky ostatnich Cinanek ve fronte. O zapachu ani nemluve ...

... the highway somewhere. But we found him, on the highway in his car waiting. He was followed by a police escort who brought us into town, yes you heard me right, we had a police escort (lights flashing and everything) into town. This allowed us to go into the town via the north gate, which no one is supposed to do.

We got into the town and dropped off our bags in the hotel. The whole city is made up of the same stone as the ...

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.

Before arriving in Yichang my son said to keep things simple in this city. As soon as we arrived yesterday we went to the concierge and asked about a tour to the 3 gorges dam. The concierge told us that we could sign for the tour right then. We did paying our 200 yuan on the spot. The only way to see the dam is via an official tour. A little later the confcierge told us that the tour would be a chinese led ...

... slum vcetne spinavych deti, smecek divokych psu prohrabavajicich odpadky a vubec. Kolem proteka ricka, a vzhledem k suchemu podnebi (prselo naposled nekdy pred dvema mesici), tece v rece uzky prouzek neceho, co ma mlecne zelenou barvu a smrdi to na sto metru. Park kolem pagod je docela pekny, ale ta cesta za to nestala, krome toho klaster okolo pagod byl stejne zavreny a vstupne podle vseho 30 yuanu na osobu. To je dalsi problem Taiyuanu, vstupy, kdyz uz je na co ...

... Pizza Hut here! The pizzas and smoothes are divine, and we've already eaten there three times in less than five days!! (Sorry Sean! haha - we know how much you like Pizza Hut!) In Xian we saw four extraordinary tourist attractions: the tall walls circumventing part of Xian, the Terracotta Warriors, the Panda Rescue Center and Mount Hua Shan. On our first day after arriving on the train into Xian, we headed up onto the ...

... tops 26 RMP's or or 2.60 sterling. Rented a bike and rode the wall around the city = 14k and if you do it in under 1hr 30 mins, you dont get charged more....they must have timed it using an olympic athelete! We managed it, but had to go some. Big parts of the outer city are being knocked down, while there are people still living in the remains, either that or they left in a hurry and didnt get ...

... and shoulder"!! He then gets up and on first attempt touched exactly where it hurts...the medical doctor couldn't find it in 30 minutes with me telling him exactly where it was and this guy hits it on the first try! He says I need 12 sessions of 1 hour acupuncture treatment...grand total $15! Then he talked about how the Wind and Cold caused it, but its a bit hard to translate into English. Doctor Qiu (choo) has an amazing list of ...
