Hello from the Longji area, where the dragon back rice terrace fields are. We have had a great day hiking around and enjoying the quite and somewhat remote village we have been staying in.
A couple of shots for you all. The sunrise at 7am.
This is the village we are in now.
And a couple of cool dudes.
Next we plan to travel to take a boat to see the three gorges.
Cheers!
Good News. I finally took some time to clean up teeuwsen.com. You should be able to see the picture gallery again and some of the other features should be working. One downside is that when our last hosting company bailed on us they lost all of our comments and some of the pictures associated with posts. As we find them we will put them back in.
Either way we should be good to go. Let me know if something is not working properly.
Thursday: Steve and I rented bikes again and went for a 3 1/2 hour tour. We were never really lost but never really knew where we were and as a result didn’t end up where we wanted to. Oh well, we ended up close to where we started. Here are a couple of photos along the way…
We then went to this ginormous cave. It was pretty incredible. It came complete with a mud bath which we had to partake in. It had some enourmous caverns and some really cool mineral depsits. Steve go some pretty cool photos, which will have to be put up later.
Tomorrow is a travel day to Longsheng. Cheers,
Picture Time:
Soo Many People. I just can’t believe it. Everywhere you go people and more people. Although it is the Chinese national holiday this week, which makes all the touristy spots busier.
Steve Sleeping on the overnight train. Aww…
In Yangshuo.. so many peaks it just un-real.
Hello from China. Things are going pretty good here. I have made it to Hong Kong after 15 1/2 hours of flights and met up with Steve and we are now taking the country by storm.
On Monday, the we crusised around Hong Kong doing all sorts of touristy things like riding the tram and taking the worlds longest escilator system. Then Monday night we were treated to a wonderful home cooked dinner at the place of Ron and Sarah Koyich, it was a real treat.
Tuesday we then got up early, partly because we wanted to get an early start on the day and partly because I was still suffering jet lag, and took the train into mainland China at Guangzhou (sp?). We then cruised around a marked a bit and took a night train to Gui Lin. We arived in Gui Lin at 6:30 in the morning and hoped onto a bus to Yangshuo where we are right now. Today we rented some bikes and biked to Moon Mountain. Moon Mountain is this cool mountain with an arch in the middle of it. We then hiked up to the very top of the mountain and took some photos and took in the view of the amazing peaks around. From there we took our bikes and went for a tour of the country side biking through rice paddies and along a river.
Tomorrow we are going to spend here before moving on again. I will see if i can’t post some pictures later.
That is all for now. Cheers!
So, no updates in a while, and probably no one reading this site anymore. Well we will see what we can do to rectify this in the next few weeks. For three weeks I am going to try and bring you exciting tales from the orient, as Steve and I cruise China. Stay tuned who nows where we will end up or what we may eat. Cheers!
Tuesday night Kim and I went to the movie Crash with a few friends. It wasn’t to bad, but seeing as I like to be mindlessly entertained it wasn’t exactly what I was looking for.
At any rate we went to bed only to be rudely awoken by a great big man trying to kick down our door. I heard the bangs, went down stairs and had a little chat with him. He was convinced that his friends lived in my house, that I needed to wake them up and if I didn’t let him in he was going to tear my house a part in the morning. I asked for the address he was looking for and he was out by about 6 avenues and 2 streets. I tired to explain, but it got me nowhere. Eventually I convinced him to go away. Needless to say he was quite drunk and it took a lot of work, but he managed to walk away.
So… the next morning as I am heading out to work I notice that the guy must have fallen off of the steps and into the flower garden on his way up to the door. I found his wallet, cell phone, and lighter. Rather then phone China we turned his stuff into the Cops for them to return. I did however notice that he was gainfully employed at the local strip club. All in all a bit of an adventure.
Well for all you teeuwsen.com readers out there. The Teeuwsen line is growing. Kim is pregnant and soon I will be a dad. Very exciting I know. It has been a bit of a wild ride this last year since we have come back from Austria and this just tops it off.
Well things are a changing around here-Alia and I are on a month countdown till we leave. We’ll be saying good bye or see you soon to a lot of good friends. Scott’s already left, he cruised the Monday after Kloie’s photo show. Taiwan has been good to me the last few years but I’m ready for a change. I got the thanks but no thanks from school, so I’m scraping together some big ideas for a trip. It’s all up in the air right now-I’m changing my plans almost everyday, with helpful advice from sane people who kindly suggest that Russia/Mongolia will be pretty cold in November and that it’s over 10,000 km there and back if I want to motorbike across Canada, haha. I’ve got some time to plan and get excited. I’ll let you know…
