Hello from Dali China. Because it was cold and rainy in the eastern part of China's south, we took a 24 hour train ride towards the west to the himalayan foothill town of Dali. The train ride was a bit miserable with Chinese people hocking loogies everyewhere, ... Read more >

Hello everyone, 你吃了吗. I am sorry that I haven't posted a new story for a while I have been busy, but also a little lazy. As I mentioned in my last post I was giving all of my students an exam last week. Now as much fun as it is to actually administer ... Read more >

Eating Beijing

Wed, 11 Nov 2009 | By lol | Views [798]

The trans-Mongolian train did finally bring us to Beijing! We booked one night at a very central hostel, right next to Wangfujing snack market (yum) and very close to the Forbidden City (which really isn’t a forbidden city at all…) but ended up extending ... Read more >

Yangshuo, China

Sun, 8 Nov 2009 | By msoleksy | Views [366] | Comments [1]

So we are now in Yangshuo, China. The trip from Hong Kong was suprisingly luxurious. It was about a 12 hour bus trip over night. We expected to tough it out and get a few hours of sleep, no big deal. When we were about to get on the bus I noticed the ... Read more >

Flying out of China tomorrow, visa expires on the 17th, so I gotta go whether I want to or not.  Three months has gone extremely quickly, but I'm ready to get off the ride now. :)   The last little while has seen: Beijing - great, ended up staying ... Read more >

Hong Kong, China

So we are already on our last day here in Hong Kong! It was a great place to get accustomed to the time change without completely being overwhelmed by culture shock. We stayed at a person's house who we connected with through couchsurfing.org. It was ... Read more >

Week From Hell

I realized how I stopped posting and all so I figured I'd take some time out of my VERY BUSY SCHEDULE to write something. Just kidding. My schedule's full-ish, but nowhere near as busy as I make it seem. It's just a bit like pulling teeth sometimes ... Read more >

Cold Pizza for breakfast, is there anything more American?

Mon, 2 Nov 2009 | By joshuapatterson23 | Views [1096] | Comments [8]

The one thing I have missed the most about American, besides Taco Bell, is pizza. Good old fashioned, greasy ,unhealthy piled high with toppings, or stuffed with toppings pizza. I would literally kill a man for a Bronx Bomber right now, and I could ... Read more >

On Top of the World

Fri, 30 Oct 2009 | By ryanandjo | Views [3871] | Comments [2]

Travelling to the “roof top of the world” wasn’t one of the easiest decisions we’ve made. It’s a place of constant religious and political tension, so the Tibet ‘story’ is a fascinating one. China has always considered Tibet to be part of its Empire, ... Read more >
