Poszlismy wiec w centrum turystyczne - nad Jezioro Zachodnie - z mocnym postanowieniem zarobienia przynajmniej na jeden miecz. Siadamy niesmialo troche na skraju i gramy.. Tzn Karas gra na gitarze, Kuba na bebenkach, a ja z Buncolem siedzimy i nic nie robimy - mielismy wprawdzie przeprowadzic popis sztuk walki -miecz kontra , ale jakos nie czulismy sie na silach. Narazie gadamy sobie z Lee, oni graja, wreszcie niesmialo czapke z daszkiem wystawiamy i wrzucamy kilka malych jenotow. Czasem ktos tam przejdzie, popatrzy, podziwi sie, popyta skad jestesmy (rozmowy ida nam dobrze, mamy dobrego tlumacza) itd. Jenotow jednak nie przybywa. Zawiazujemy rozmowe z siedzacym akurat nieopodal mlodym, moze 30-letnim Chinczykiem. Z czasem okazuje sie, ze jest to nasladowca Bruce Lee - od lat trenuje, medytuje, oglada mase filmow itd. Lee jest jego zyciowym idolem, lecz ogolnie Chinczyk ... read more

I znowu pobudka 8am - sniadanie: krewetki, ryz z chwastami, micha z piwem, dziwne orzechy, herbata, miecho, papieros - posilki sie zbytnio od siebie nie roznily. Tym razem od razu proponuje spacer - szykuje sie prawdziwa fotosesja. Idziemy wiec tajnymi sciezkami po zboczu, pomiedzy polami. Ide jak zwykle z obstawa - przed i za soba. Stajemy. Jeden bierze sie za kopnie czegos burakopodobnego. Czyzbym im zjadl wszystkie krewetki? Praca idzie nienerwowo, papieros nie gasnie. Spokojnie wszystko fotografuje. Rozgladam sie - widze wiszacy, bujajacy most przez rzeke. Juz wiem w ktora strone bede gestykulowal. Ruszamy. Jeden przewodnik odnosi co zebral, a z drugim idziemy do domu tuz kolo mostku. Witaja sie z nami i ugaszczaja. Wchodzimy do izby - tak jakby biedno. I jak zwykle - papieros, herbata, papieros, herbata.. No i pogaduchy, z tego bylem ... read more

First of all, I must apologize about the lateness of these next few entries. Our hostel in Guilin does not have internet (as promised), so I have been unable to post our experiences. Fortunately we found an internet cafe this evening, so you can all be caught up to what we're doing on the other side of the world. The last few days of our adventure have been spent in beautiful Hangzhou, a short 2 hour train ride from Shanghai. Hangzhou is home to the renowned West Lake. In the 13th century Marco Polo passed through the city and described it as one of the most splendid in the world. There are 36 West Lakes in China, but this is the one from which all others take their name. The lake is about 3km long and ... read more

Sáng nay cả nhà dậy sớm tinh mơ, tại có chuyến bay vào lúc 9h50. Bố dậy lúc 4-5h sáng gì đấy, tiếp đến là mự Hà, rồi đến mẹ, sau cùng mới là Lâm (mà cũng mới 6h thôi). Đồ đạc sắp sửa sẵn từ tối hôm qua nên mọi người rất nhanh gọn lẹ, đến 7h là mọi thứ đã xong xuôi hết rồi. Đành ngồi không đợi một chút để khoảng 15-20 phút thì sẽ xuống check out. Mỗi người trước khi đi cũng ăn một ít bánh, và một quả trứng luộc cho ấm lòng. Riêng Lâm còn làm thêm quả chuối nữa. Hừm, mới sáng ra trời đã mưa rầm rì, chán ghê. Mà còn bực mình nữa là khó đón xe taxi quá... Phải lấy ô của mẹ ra đầu ... read more
