    Where's the wedding going to be?  Xinjiang is a very big place and travelling around it isn't simple, mainly due to distances.

    Urumqi to Kashgar by train takes about 24 hrs, less than 2 by plane.

    We're going there during Spring Festival and tossing up whether to fly or drive.  At least I am....my wife is adamant we should fly.  We'll probably fly.

    I think some things got worse however. For me, pollution, had to go indoor to run. Internet is more crippled. I see Xi's face floating in a blue sky before the movie start in the cinema, it wasn't like that, and there are things congruent to that happening in the same time. The country is closing itself little by little.

    There is an OK bike shop in Canton place. Halfway between Leide and Tancun metro station.

     

    It sells "Cronus" cycles. Expensive, but they look ok. Nice frames and with Shimano kit on. I think they start at about 3000RMB and go up to the price of a car. I think this is the site:

    Its definitely worth it, I mean where else can you travel in China  winter? I went last year some advice:

    1) Stay near the center of the old city (russian youth hostel is good)
    2) Buy your tix for the ice festival ASAP when you get there
    3) Go buy new winter clothes in the underground market beneath the main plaza near the Songhua its really cheap and heavy...

    I'm hosting Christmas this year and I'm having all my friends round throughout the day, I'm cooking a full roast and I've invited some of my old grandpa friends from the hutong! Should be good!

    Bar => I love them, because it's easy to have long conversations about anything, without having to yell

    KTV => I used to go when I was living in Vietnam. It was fun with the right people : people who know the same songs as you and can sing along with you.

    Club => I never had fun there, I don't like dancing, it's to noisy, no real ways to communicate. If forced into one,...

    Ouch, but at least you won't ruin your life with someone wrong for you, for awful reasons. Live long and prosper.

    I met my GF on the internet on a Chinese dating site, some 4 years ago.  After chatting online for 6 months, I went to China to meet her.  We traveled together for a while, then I returned home.  Over the past years we have been meeting every few months, either traveling somewhere, or visiting each other.  She wants to leave China some day, but have a career.  I...

    You can take a Chinese out of China,but you can`t take away my yearning to be amonst the chaos and madness of their country, the place I now feel is my home Smile

    Anywhere else would be downright boring.

  • Nov 28,2014

    Youtube is great to kill boredom and/or gloom. I've my favorite channels, it's also my jukebox and a way to find new music. Watching my favorite movie scenes is great too.

    Wikipedia, I love reading about completely lost places (islands or just really remote places), lives of obscure yet interesting people, the story of that mushroom or that obscure sea animal, etc.

  • Nov 26,2014

    I don't live in Guangzhou, so I don't know much about the situation. It sounds like that (at least) having two classes of Chinese citizens became accepted, not only de-facto, but now legally ? So much for communism, Animal Farm all the way long.

    We have a traditional "skype" dinner.... my family back home and my family here put the laptop at the end of the table and we all feast on traditional food together... after a few beers/wines, you forget its a skype call... HoHoHo...

    Have never had a problem with the small money issue whether local vendor or taxi, they will either round the figure up or down.  In the end, it winds up always being equal in the long run.  Don't sweat it.

     

    your second issue, get some balls, tell mil to go dance in the square and toss her boxes and make yourself comfortable

    I have a dog (Casper) - has been the light of my life ever since we got him

     

    If you are in Beijing, you can try to adopt from http://lingyangxiaopu.com/

     

    If you do get a dog, please remember that saving a dog won't change the world.

    But for the dog, the world changes forever
