... eating yet so it was ok i didn't have to decide whether it was rude to not try absolutely everything...strangely enough they brought out a cake first and everyone had a slice (kind of like a cream sponge jelly cake with strawberries) it was quite nice to be fair but no victoria sponge...) After the cake (after..?!) you start digging in to all the other stuff on the same plate as your strawberries and cream...seemed a bit odd but i ran with it..and from then on it was a point and i eat ...

... plody, kterym se snazi vyhnout, a i hodne dalsich veci (palivost, kyselost...). Ten si tedy vetsinou objednava pomerne uvedomele, co chce. I kdyz nekdy ani jeho znalosti nestaci a moment prekvapeni prijde vzdy.
Adela vetsinou oznami svuj pozadavek a snazime se ji ho splnit s nasimi chabymi znalostmi. Ale obcas se nam stane, jelikoz malo provadi primy vyber sama, ze na ni zbyva cerny petr a jeji volba propada. Nekdy cilene, protoze vetsinou cela 4 jidla neobjednavame, nekdy ...

... children seizing the opportunity of our photo stop to ask for money. A disastrous British offensive on the Tibetans was carried out here, with very little achieved. The protagonist, Major Francis Younghusband, commanded assaults that resulted in over 1,000 Tibetans losing their lives. Stunning scenery, grazing yaks, horses ploughing fields and peeking snow-capped mountains became the norm, until Gyantse. The minute I arrived in Gyantse I knew I liked it ...

... involved hanging a person by the neck until they had almost, but not quite, suffocated to death; then the party was taken down from the gallows, and disemboweled while still alive; and while the entrails were still lying on the street, where the executioners stomped all over them, the victim was tied to four large farm horses, and literally torn into five parts - one to each limb and the remaining torso. The ...

... stop in the middle of the Takla Makan desert halfway to Dushan'zi. Duahan'zi is located in the exact center of the Takla Makan desert, with nothing but desert around it for miles. Duahan'zi is an oil refinery town, a mining town, and a university/Information Technology college town. I taught ESL at all 3 of the elementary schools in Duahan'zi. There was no elementary school ESL curriculum before I came, so I had to develop/write & implement ...

... leaving the town, a mountain range came into view and eventually the road turned more or less due East and we continued for an hour or more in this direction, until the mountains had subsided into a low range of hills. It took the bus about 30 minutes to get through the hills and we emerged into a true Sand desert which I figured must be part of the Gobi. It was similar to parts of the Takla Makan, but the duststorms were far less ferocious. There was a thin ...

... where cars would make sense, the Chinese are often not inclined. The pictures here of the Wenchan earthquake survivors carrying their salvaged household goods is an example. That really is a guy carrying a refrigerator on his back, across the rubble of the quake. China does have an infinite grade of commercial transport. For people moving, the bullet trains top the list, but the options go down to seats on the ...

... with a distance of over 100 meters between. The upper one is Xieji Waterfall, the lower one is Shuiji Waterfall, and both of them have a cliff of displacement of about 10 meters wide and 20 meters deep, offering a spectacular sight. The Scenic Zone of Meikou Calm Lake Situated at the central area of Golden Lake, also known as Five-Kilometer ...

... had a sample that said, "I'm feeling horny." I could barely contain my laughter. Luckily I was the only one in the room that knew what it meant. The next massage almost did come with a happy ending. I think I have finally learned that getting massages from dudes is always bad idea jeans. When I was in India a greasy, denim-clad Indian spent an hour trying to find a way to "accidentally" touch my boobs, last summer the guy who gave me a foot ...

... phrase or word!). We get a taxi to an Uighur restaurant where she is known, and sit inside to wait for some "small meals". We are presented with a mound of savoury rice on a large plate, with a sheep shank on top, and a dozen skewers of lamb kabob, plus green tea in big bowls. Don't have any real choice but get on with it. Eat as little as we can without being rude, even though it was quite tasty, and most of the meat tasted fresh and crispy grilled. She ...
