Degas Hotel (Yishang) Wuhan

This entry has little to do with anything other than boredom. We haven't traveled anywhere or done anything overly exciting. I'm going to post an assortment of pictures from our neighbourhood - the outdoor market where buy hundreds of mandarin oranges, people-watch on a regular basis and eat all too regularly. "Rice or noodles?" is an oft-asked question when deciding just what kind of dollar-or-less street food you might be in the mood for. Anyone ...

... day holiday. Everyone seems pretty excited, though, so we're assuming that they don't do this all that often. My fear is that this trip will probably resemble the Tour Group Hell that I described a couple of weeks ago. This time, however, we don't have a choice and it appears as though we would be left behind to work if we didn't attend. We'll see what happens.

That's all for now,

Mike & Jill

... for the ferry was the '717' and we were given the stop name. Easy.... After the 3rd stop names were non existent. Not to worry
we said it would be clear when we get there. Mistake number two. So after about 20 mins or so and the fact we had crossed over the bridge we thought we wont be getting the ferry over any more. After a while we started to think maybe we should get off and walk as we had gone
completely opposite to the ...

Back in Wuhan after 7 months and its great to se Erica again. I also have been doing some meeting with her classes to talk about Ali's and My round the world trip. It even more amazing to them then to us as not too many people in China get to travel abroad and they definately would not sell everything they own to do it. Its great spending time with the students as they are so keen and helpful and want to take you round to show ...

... from the lakeside is boring and we were in a moving car when we saw the other side. Nevertheless, the dam is quite impressive, even if you don't approve of it. Everyone was supposedly divided into "those that are touring the dam" and "those that aren't," but I think we all piled into the same buses. The first bus we tried to get onto was a bust. We took the time to put our bags in the undercarriage (which we were instructed to do by finger pointing), but by ...

... The majority of men smoke heavily whenever possible - its definitely seen as a very socially acceptable thing and even a sign of wealth here. Strangely, we've seen no women smoke though. On the final night, we approached the huge Three Gorges Great Dam. When completely finished in 2009, this will be the biggest dam and biggest concrete structure in the world (2km length). Its also one of the most controversial projects in the world - it will ...
