                    <title>An afternoon at the movies Film class trip to the Beijing film museum</title>
                    <description>So this morning was uneventful being a normal day of Chinese class however this afternoon we got to take a class field trip the first of several to come. My Contemporary China Through Film class met in the dorm lobby after lunch and took a bus to the Beijing Film Museum. I feel like an awful student but I really don't even know the name of the place... it could be A Beijing film museum or T</description>

                    <title>The Old Summer Palace what lillies remain</title>
                    <description>Yesterday my China Foreign Policy class took a tour to the Old Summer Palace which is just a few bus stops West of our campus. It was quite an afternoon both relaxing beautiful somber and saddening. For those of you who don't know the history I should probably start there. In 1860 the second Opium War was going and some envoys were sent to see a prince under the flag of truce to negotiate. </description>

                    <description>So... today is my birthday and I have spent it all in sweatpants and a tshirt. Everyone in the program Alliance for Global Education  BLCU has a Chinese test tomorrow and thus is studying tonight so we decided to go out last night. I was surprised at the turnout as almost 20 out of 26 or so students showed up. I was originally thinking of going for allyoucaneat and drink sushi as we ce</description>

                    <description>Yesterday was a good day. I met my friend I had made online while studying in Shanghai earlier this week and we really hit it off. Hanging out with him is the experience I wish I could have had with more locals in Shanghai as our conversations are educational and give me an opportunity for real cultural exchange and a chance to practice my Chinese as we'll use as much Chinese as my level allo</description>

                    <title>Vietnam in Summation</title>
                    <description>I have found Vietnam to be vibrant charming friendly and incredibly fun. Its a great place for traveling whether you seek a relaxing beach break a cultural and historical journey or a kayaking kitesurfing hiking climbing adventure. Vietnam has something for everybody and its a great place to travel alone as well. As a solo female traveler I am frequently weary of new destinations </description>

                    <title>Kitesurfing Capital of Somewhere. Beaches Mojitos and windy Mui Ne.</title>
                    <description>There is gloriously little to report from my past few days. I've been three nights in Mui Ne now being blown by the breeze or bashed by the waves to smithereens then recovering on the white sandy beaches. Since it was too windy to go windsurfing for a beginner the other day I booked for the next morning with an Eastern European man at Jibe's named Drakor or Draco or something along those lin</description>

                    <title>Moving to the Back of the Bus. Destination Mui Ne</title>
                    <description>So I'm in Mui Ne now and after half a day have succeeded in burning the crap out of my shoulders and back. I got in last night with my new found friends newly earned I should say. See I have this problem sometimes where I'm a little selfsabotaging in my attempts to meet people especially when travelling alone. Normally when someone nicelooking smiles at you you should smile back if you're </description>

                    <description>So... Anh's cousin another one picked me up yesterday morning from my hotel and we drove to the airport together. After getting all checked in we wandered around the airport shops killing some time and me looking for a way to blow my last 55000 dong less than 3. I was thinking to buy gifts for my teachers to be but 3 wasn't quite enough for anything of substance. It did however buy a b</description>

                    <description>So I woke up thinking today was a total bust. I had an 830am windsurfing lesson scheduled and overnight my feeling of minor illness went fullblown. I had the cough the sneeze the sore throat and the body aches which could just as well have been from sleeping on sunburned skin. I had the receptionist call Jibe's Surf School to cancel my lesson ate a quick breakfast and went back to bed until</description>

                    <title>Getting What You Pay For Beauty Treatment in Saigon. </title>
                    <description>So last night after I got some dinner the bruschetta pomodoro at Stella Cafe was the best I've ever had and catching up in my blog last night I decided to try out one of the beauty places that had girls on the street passing out flyers every night to anyone passing by. Now I generally pride myself on being a low maintenance girl when it comes to that stuff but it's been a little while since </description>

                    <title>The Long Train South. Da Nang to Ho Chi Minh City</title>
                    <description>So yesterday consisted of waking up to no power in the building. There was enough light coming in from the skylight windows but it wasn't long before the heat came in with it and with no fans and no AC it was not a good place to be. We went for breakfast at a cafe with internet so I could book my hostel in Ho Chi Minh City from here on I'll be calling it Saigon. I ordered the same Vietnames</description>

                    <description>We got up early and we picked up by Anh's 'uncle' I'm gonna stick with that cause it's shorter than cousin and we headed to a nearby old town Anh had told me about. I didn't realize Hoi An is a tourist destination in and of itself but then I don't know much of anything about Vietnam except the American involvement in the war part. We stopped just outside of town for breakfast with more cousins</description>

                    <title>It's just like riding a bike. One Day in Mekong Delta</title>
                    <description>The morning came all too early again at least I got a good 6 hours of sleep last night I booked another tour through my hotel since the company and guide was very enjoyable on the other tour. I decided to just do a one day tour in the Mekong River Delta as I only have a week left and am dreaming of some beach time. Got on the bus at the hotel around 720am and it was a good 2 or so hour drive </description>

                    <description>Today was quite exhausting as last night turned into a ridiculous affair going until about 4am. I had to be up this morning at 7 to get ready for my 8am pickup for4 the tour I booked through the hotel but I overslept 2 wakeup calls and it wasn't until the guidebus arrived and they began calling me nonstop that I finally awoke. I went back to the Hard Rock Cafe to meet up with Tim and we jumpe</description>

                    <description>So... I took longer getting ready this morning that planned and we needed to go to the post office so I could mail some stuff home like my jacket I had packed for Tibet but no longer had room for before hitting the town. What a mini adventure that became... Between having to fill out five different customs and other forms to send a package including one needing my passport details and being</description>

                    <description>So the girls night out turned out to be... not what I expected. It was Anh's friend's cousins last night out with the girls who ranged from 15 to 20 25 if you count me. It was at a very expensive little barrestaurant attached to the Sofitel Metropole Hotel. Place was called Angelina I believe. and it ran me 45 USD for two drinks and a small caprese salad. The bridetobe was picking up the ta</description>

                    <description>I didn't do anything yesterday by wait in airports and play online. After leaving my hotel in Lhasa at 740am I didn't get in to Hanoi until late evening after a 4 plus hour layover in Kunming China. We got in a bit early and I was able to clear customs quickly after I got my visa on arrival. The process was very simple and I had no wait as I guess I was the only one on my flight who used th</description>

                    <description>Tibet is an amazing country with some of the most beautiful kind people I have ever encountered as well as some of the most enterprising people trying to turn the quickest profit they can off the place. It tops many travelers lists as a must visit place and it's on my Must revisit list as well.Here are my pointers and suggestions for anyone planning to goWhat to bring physicallysunscree</description>

                    <title>The Singing Siji  Last full day in Tibet</title>
                    <description>So my last day in Tibet was spent on a tour of Drak Yerpa Monastery a very cool and seemingly out of the way place. It was a good hour or so drive from Lhasa city limits. I was going to go to the biggestholiest lake but my hotel Mr. Yak which I do not recommend to anyone quoted me 1600 RMB for the trip plus meals and entrance fees to be paid by me. I found another tour agency near Barkhor </description>

                    <description>So today was rather uneventful. Morning checkout from Yak Hotel in Shigatse tour of the monastery in town then hit the road for the long drive back to Lhasa. My siji driver realized I smoked and was offering me cigarettes the whole ride back. This is part of Chinese culture and rude to refuse. I didn't know how to say I smoke very little to begin with and at the high altitudes cigarettes ma</description>
