Interesting DIY tour
Hi Hans, it's always nice to read your travel blog and see how do you explore and enjoy different parts of China. I am going to Chengdu for several days during Easter Holiday, do you have any recommendations?

'Good to see you're still travelling...
Hi Hans, ‘Great photos again. Does Qufu have any of the original walls left? I did not fast track to the last photo like many others may have. Yes, beware of the sun. I assume you are back at the old college. I have almost completed updating my blog of Taizhou and other journeys before home (including the long overdue Silk Road trip). I will let you know when it is ready. Good luck with the coming year. John

We visited Qufu when we were teaching in July Taizhou in 2008. Many happy memories. I am returning again this year to teach for the Education Department in Jiangsu in July.

Great photos, expecially Kashgar. Question?
I am glad you persevered and uploaded your photos. They are very nicely done and give me a clue for my own photos of Kashgar later this morning. How did you do your route map? I would like to make one of my own. Thank you.

Hi from Oz!!
Heh Hans, another year almost past, so it seems and another great photo essay. International English- is that a "new" course? Am now on at least a 10 day break and won't know about work for next year until the end of the week. Having a quiet Xmas this year, the first without Mum, just hanging around home & doing some sorting out and culling of some of my accumulated possessions!! Heh, and you got a response from Stef!!! Wow!!! Hope you have a pleasant couple of days off and best wishes for the New Year & WInter/Spring Break. Are you travelling to the States as usual?

Hola!
Hey Hans, I know its been awhile. Glad to see that you are still enjoying teaching in Taizhou. I have been trying to reach you. All my emails bounced back. I was planning a trip to Shanghai for xmas, but the chinese embassy refused to grant me a visa. Apparently I lack sufficient visa pages. That or my passport is a bit too raggedy for them. It really has been through hell. Oh well. I'm thinking of going to Taiwan for a masters in either education or environmental studies. I could work on my Mandarin as well. I've quit my job here and am only staying till my replacement can take over. I'm working on getting my doggie the necessary papers to travel home with me. Wushu is the best impulse buy ever! Longest comment ever I know! Anyway, merry xmas Hans! send me your new email address if it has changed.

The crisp blue sky above the beach is a bit of enviable, while here in Taizhou we are right now engolfed in this thick smog! Everybody is choking, sneezing, even tiny newborn babies have no escape. We have no choice, but to accept this twice-a-year onslaught of straw-burning by local farmers. You have represented a real view and deep analysis about the education in China. Sounds strange for Westeners to understand.

Bridge on the Li
Hi Hans and what a great recognition of your work in China..well done. Just noticed the pic of "Double Moon Bridge in Guilin.....I am sure I am correct in saying this sits on the four lakes two rivers development in the central city area, maybe Ru lake...? The Li River is further to the east. I have walked those bridges many times and they are one of Guilins beautiful attractions. I have just returned from 3 weeks in China. Cheers kevin

Oh, you're kissing a Rudolph! Unfortunately, he's chained and may never will escape his ill-fate. Never mind, the rape-flowers are splendid, a common sight of spring years ago. The lake is perhaps the cleanest in the country.

I can almost smell the ocean while browsing through the pictures, and the Fairchild Garden is so inviting. The plants grow naturally in the open air. Maybe, it's a botanical garden without needs of greenhouses.

Eine einfache aber interessante Zusammenfassung von Geschicht, von dem Traumland Floerida, ein Stueck von Paradies an Erde! Ihre Zuhause ist sicherlich sehr angenehm und die Blumen und Tomaten explodieren in hellen bunten Farben. Ihre kleine Hundin muss sehr suess sein, aber, wo ist Ihrer \"Wolfie\"? Ich hatte ihn mal von Ihrem blog gesehen, eine Katze? Hoffentlich ihm gehts gut!

Great to see a blog on Dazu...the best grotto carvings in SW China...protected from damage during the Cultural Revolution I recall...a very special place. Some of the other sites in the area are worth a visit as well.

schade, ich habe bislang die Landschaft der 3 schluchten noch nie gesehen. Wie viele Sachen wurden damals under dem Wasser fuer ewig begraben? Schwer sich zu vorstellen.
