My group, we have returned home 4 a week, how’s going? I missed u all. N I m so happy to get a call from Rita today. I was busy with a delegation last few days, so now, I m uploading my pix @ Guilin, my hometown.

Guilin is such a beautiful cutie, you all like it, right?! The colorful cave, the city night lights, the Li River, the Hills, really like those Chinese paintings. A person from the group tell me, she thought those Chinese paintings were made out of by immagination, since she come to Guilin. She realize there exists such a place in the painting!

This is our hotel.

These are happy us.

man, hopefully u all return home. 4 me, I m just home this morning.

Yesterday, it was such a mess @ Newark. 5 of us could not make the connecting flight, so we had to wait till 9 pm. Fortunately, only 4 seats available, so I m the only one left staying @ Newark overnight. N this morning I took the first flight coming here Montreal, finally arrived @ Montreal 9:30.

The last night on the boat, we have a farewell party. We were singing and dancing, everyone was so happy.

My group made a song and sang in the party. The follows is the lyrid:

On our first trip to China

Ting took us all shopping

And this is what we bought

12 silk duvets

11 terra warriors

10 foot massages

9 silk scarves

8 Chinese jackets

7 Olympic caps

6 jade bracelets

More bargaining

4 beaded shoes

3 Rolex watches

2 fat Buddhas

And a coffin hanging from a tree!

Frankly speaking, I did take them to some typical chinese stores for shopping. But, my group likes shopping and bargaining, especially some shopping queens. They could shop @ anytime anywhere, and enjoy bargaining so so so much!!!!!!!!

Finally left the boat, got on land. Tonight after check in the hotel, I went to bowl. Cause, 1. I am a little bit tired for travel so many cities, need some relax. 2. I was beated @ Wuhan by Harold, I need practice to challenge him. 3. Hotel have bowling lines. It is quite convenience. N this time, I did a good job, I got a coupon for a free game, but which could not be used @ the same day. So, I HAD to leave it @ the front desk for my following colleges. So, wonder guys, if you like bowling, go to the front desk of our hotel in Chongqing 4 the coupon, it will valid until Nov. 4, 2006.

Ok, let me talk about the cruise. Yangzi River is the longest river in China, n Chinese call it Mother River. We cruise on it for 4 days. On the boat, we made 3 morning stops and onland tours. The first morning, it was the visit of the very famouse dam on Three Gorges of Yangzi River. I m not a person interested in engineering, but still feel amazing by the huge project and admire the ambitions of the country. 脗 Hahahaha… One more thing to add of our stay at the Dam is the funny hats our group man bought. Look @ the pix, they are so funny!

The second morning, we visit Shen Nong Steam. We first changed from our cruise to a smaller boat, then to another smaller boat, which only could hold 13 persons. Everybody was so enjoy the float and the folk songs of local guides. But, the pity was that because of the high level of the stream, there are no famouse nude trackers.

The third day, we visited the Wanxian Town, a small relocated city. We went to the local market, a museum & a relocating family. The family used to be farmers b4 immigrant to present house. Now, they, three generations,脗 are living in an apartment with three bed rooms. Or group all are concerning on whether they are typical local family or special selected family. The local guide told me, they chose the families mainly first they always have somebody @ home, second the apartment is clean, third they are willing to share their new lives with the out-comers.

This is the last day on the boat, our group have such a good time on the boat. The boat is so comfortable, our group enjoy a relax time on boat. They were shopping, facialing,脗 drinking & singing. The crew are so nice and friendly, especially our guide on boat, Natalie & Becky. I missed them all. BTW, they are the guides脗 on boat of our other French groups as well.

Finally, this is our boat & beautiful 3 Gorges!
