The megalopilis of Chongqing (68 km and anywhere from a 70 minute to 4 hour drive depending on the day) is pretty interesting to tour around and see. It is definitely authentic China and not very 'Westernized'. Here are just a few pics of some places I have gone to on weekends recently.... read more

I have been thinking that I have put a whole bunch of posts of places around Asia that I have visited but not many about my own back yard...So, the next 2 months will be about taking photos around here. Especially, since it is warmer here and it is easier to get out and about. I will try to send photos that will give you a sense of the incredible scale of construction that is happening in Yongchuan and I am sure in most of China. the feel of the gritty streets and the pastoral landscapes that are only a bike ride away. Over the past week I have been out walking in the afternoons and evening more (and remembering to take my camera). On Sunday, I went for a 3 hour bike ride and tried ... read more

So...a couple of weeks ago I carried on the tradition of taking the staff of the BC program out for Chongqing Hot Pot dinner as a celebration to start the year. Well, we had 29 people there and ate and drank for about 5 hours. We had 3 tables of 9 or 10 people. Basically, Chongqing Hot Pot is like a big fondue pot only (like most local dishes) it is stupidly spicy! The chilis, pepper and oil all boil up and you put meat and veggies in to cook and then eat away and feel your mouth catch fire! We had a great time bonding. And here is the best part....more food than 29 or 30 of us could eat and I think if I remember right 66 - 500ml beers. As principal I paid ... read more
