Hanting Express (Taiyuan Dayingpan)

... strange events as the bus driver began to drive again!

Five minutes up the road from where we had parked for the night, we turned into a bus station. Final destination! We were there in Taiyuan!! We had spent the night parked just metres from where we had wanted to be all along!! AArg!! Lost in translation!! The crew had a grand ole laugh at my confused and angry questioning!! Free nights accomodation all the same!

Love ye lots
Lucy and Adele! xxx

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 ...

... In some cases, taking part in a face-to-face class could be inconvenient due to scheduling, traffics, safety, etc, especially for those kids who intends to learn Chinese for Children. Online mandarin Chinese ...

... 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.

... of how tall it is. The third stop is from the bottom. By this time fog had lifted enough to see across. To get to the viewing spot one must walk through a park running along the river. The park was built to show materials used in the construction. A waterfall is made from stones used to show how they were cut and so forth. On the way back to the city we asked Lucy about a good place to eat and she ...

... na bus. Ten jezdi kazdou chvili, evidentne doprava po Cine na kratke vzdalenosti se odehrava autobusem, na delsi vlakem. Prekvapive i autobusova doprava je skvele organizovana, i kdyz nekdy trochu srandovne. Holt cinaci. Prvni prekvapko hned po prijezdu na misto byla rozloha dvorce, je fakt veliky :) Dalsi pak skutecnost, ze je to skutecna turisticka atrakce, more stankaru, dohazovacu ubytovani a cernych taxiku. Vstupne bylo taky trosku prekvapko, 40 za osobu, na ...

... upon marching up the hundreds of steps, I was thankful I hadn't donned anything warmer. One of the first things we noticed along our hike was that there were vendors selling locks, and that these locks, along with bright red ribbons, had been affixed to the metal-linked chains that served as handrails along the trails. Interested, we asked two girls from Singapore - who spoke English and were on our tour - what was the ...

... they still use the same characters so writing can be a kind of universal language, not much good for me though. I can recognise a handful of characters and it takes about 3000 to get the jist of a newspaper, hmmm. I got the comments sent to me, thanks dad, and of course the bad spelling is a deliberate ploy to entertain and evaid the censors. I might even start throwing in a bit of Chinglish for entertainment, for example there are signs ...

The foreign teachers here were invited to be judges at an English competition hat the students were putting on. Now, you have to realize your situation when you're teaching abroad...one of the main aspects you have to realize is that you're a selling point for the school. If one school can say they have foreign teachers and the other can't, then students are more likely to go to the first school. This being the case, you have to realize that you are a photo opportunity in most of ...
