Later today, Eric and I will be going on a 4D/3N cruise down the Yangtze River. We splurged and so we are taking the nicest ship they have (5 Star). For those that have been reading regularly, I looked into a 7-Star cruise but they didn't have one. I have no idea if they have internet on the...

Lunch or Dinner Anyone?

Eric and I went out to find an ATM last night so we could pay for our Yangzte River Cruise. On the way back, we stopped at a grocery store to score some snacks for the boat ride. In the meat department, we found some unusual choices for the gourmet chef in everyone. If you are a PETA person,...

No Chicken? You gotta be kidding me!

Tonight, Eric and I went to find a place to eat. We left late, about 10 PM. We couldn't find anything open except for a KFC. So, begrudgingly, we walked into an american restaurant. We go to the counter and they hand us a picture menu. I point to the bucket of Chicken and ask for 2 cokes. The...

Dazu Stone Carvings

Eric and I went to see the famous stone carvings of Dazu. It was raining pretty hard all night and continued throughout the day. We boarded the van (with nine ther people) and headed to the left to Dazu. Yes, I said left. Apparently, most people here do not say north, south, east, or west. They...

Travel Day

Well, never made it to Hong Kong. The weather was bad yesterday with really loud thunderstorms. They were really loud, too, because of all the tall buildings. The buildings create not only wind but incredible echos. Anyway, even though Shenzhen is right next to Hong Kong, NO ONE SPEAKS English!...

Shenzhen to Chongqing

SHENZHEN to CHONNGQING Before I checked out of my hotel today, I was awakened by a whole bunch of people yelling something in unison. It's just after 7 AM and I'm still trying to sleep. I get up to see what the ruckus is all about and I see the following below me: They are soldiers or...

getting hardcore

OK well before I forget I just want to say that my fear of insane taxi drivers, lack of road regulations, and the complete insanity that is traffic in Chongqing is indeed justified. Today I was leaving the gym and I heard some chaos. I looked up and there was an unconscious girl who had been...

The day we won 100 beers

The following is a documentation of six people winning 100 beers at a bar -- once again with the good ol' dice game. All I can say is it was one of the funniest nights. ever. We were not quite sure what to do with all the winnings except drink up. I think it was Mat that introduced us to the...

new year for me and u

First and foremost happy new year! Now, let me just say that the beginning of 2010 has already been a hot mess for me. I hope the entire year doesn’t follow suit. The issue is this entire week I wasn’t supposed to be teaching classes, I was supposed to be putting grades into the...
