Shanshui Hotel Lanzhou

... very good at it mind you. So at the end of this they have a dvd of the wedding that lasts about 3 hours and i don't know it's kind of nice but it was plenty of time to sit there trying to figure out what was going on. They really didn't understand any english but kept filling up the red wine glass so i was happy enough...by this time i was perking up a bit anyway. The weddings truly are something to behold...put ours to shame..but i imagine the bills must run into the 1000's and 1000's ...

... knedlicky tiaozi. Jde o knedlicky z lasagnoveho testa, do kterych se zabali masova nebo zeleninova smes a uvari se. Davaji se na zaver pro vsechny nebo je lze pouzit i jako hlavni jidlo.
Zjistili jsme, ze ctyri jidla jsou vetsinou moc, tak si davame jen tri. A vetsinou jen dve ryze. Nakonec mame stejne tak narvane pupky, ze to po nas dojizdec Jenda musi dojidat. Jendovi proste chutna vsechno a dojizdeni mu take evidetne moc nevadi.

... the owner, with many (usually 1 per house) in full sun and no grazing patch! The people we met were very friendly and some invited us into their homes, but we politely declined, as we felt it was possibly a ruse for money. Some were quite ornate, many very poor and others had extremely old bikes outside, being used as work vehicles to carry large quantities of goods. Probably many were working out on the fields nearby and one or two others had pony and carts (with ...

... pagan) festivals celebrating the changing of the year. These were usually associated with driving away evil spirits for the start of the new year. The Twelfth Night is January 5th, the last day of the Christmas Season before Epiphany (January 6th). In some church traditions, January 5th is considered the eleventh Day of Christmas, while the evening of January 5th is still counted as the Twelfth Night, the beginning ...

... to *drum roll* PIZZA HUT!!!! It was fantastic. I had a cheese lovers pizza and a coke. I ate my entire 9 in pizza which was probably the most food I've eaten in one sitting since we arrived in China. After dinner another girl and I stayed downtown to do some shopping. I didn't think that my day would get any better until *drum roll* we stumbled upon DAIRY QUEEN!!! It was so exciting. I had an Oreo Blizzard!!! I slept well that night.

... both of our favourites were Yangzhou Fried Rice. My guess is that she had gone into the kitchen and ordered it in English. The cook obviously had no idea what she was talking about and whipped up whatever sounded the closest to what he thought she was yelling in supposed Chinese. But then she didn't even flutter an eyelid when she put it on the ...

... that I would be in a Hard Seat the entire twenty five to thirty hour journey from Shaowu to Xi'an just like the Crazy Northern Train Girl (Luo Wei) has done several times before me. As we slowly made our way forward in line Joyce could hear that sadly for me there were no Sleepers available in the next few days. Time was passing and also sadly for me the window ...

... scenes of Lanzhou. Most that were not a pretty sight!, this city was economically very poor, heavily industralised and one of the most polluted I'd experienced in all my years of travel in China. The rivers were black and disgusting, the sky filled with ' yellow sandstorms' common to this area! Counting down the days before I left only filled me with glee!

... turned out, we would have found that there was a bus from the main bus station, and we would have found a hotel, but not as good and convenient, but probably cheaper. Depending on the result of the Uighur food, we had emerged from a potentially embarrassing situation pretty well. The hotel was the first in China with no obvious rough edges, probably 4 stars by anyone's scale. However the basin plumbing did leak, and the bath diverter needed the strength of ten ...
