If you're a cab driver, ...Thats pretty amazing. If you're a cab driver, it's even more so.<br /><br />I was staying at the Kai Bin Hotel in central Chengdu and the beautiful woman was indeed my traveling companion. She is even more beautiful close up. It's like hanging out with Julia Roberts or Angelina Jolie - a boost for the ego of an ugly guy like me.<br /><br />However, she is not typical of anybody I've even met or am likely to meet. And, if you called her my girlfriend, she's probably knee-cap you. Actually, if you're willing to put up with her razor-tongue, I'll see if I can arrange an introduction. I'm sick of being whipped by it. (Joke).<br /><br />I spend most to the time in Chengdu where my friend was finishing up a a DVD but went to a remote lake on the border of Sichuan for 6 days. I'll have to look up the name. It took one day by train and one day climbing a mountain with a suicidal van driver to get there. No motors allowed. Only boats rowed by indigenous people. Beautiful. I'll be looking through the pictures today. <br /><br /> Otherwise I was just in Beijing for 3 or 4 days.<br /><br />As for the expense: I was in China for 30 days and spend a total of $1,200 which included two airplane and two train rides. Thanks to my friend's knowledge to the local cuisine, I ate better than I've even eaten in my life. I hope you had the good fortune to have a similar guide.Crocker Amazonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14344354862430937003noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2708859863717325805.post-55566046639018556692010-07-29T21:30:16.213-07:002010-07-29T21:30:16.213-07:00Ed,

Since I stayed nearby, I saw you several times with a pretty chinese woman. Was this your girlfriend? She certainly looked quite impressive but could not see her face completely because she always wore hats. If she is the kind of local woman who gravitates to you, you certainly are right about the ladies being attracted to you. Enjoying your blog and want to know if trip was expensive, cities you traveled to and how long your stay.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
