Jenny's China Trip - Updated with Pictures

(1/7) > >>

JennyC:
Just want to put a note up to let you know that I will be on vacation for a month.  Yep, you got that right, a whole month (who cares if my vacation balance goes negative ::)) starting this Thursday Aug 17th to Sep 17th, back to China to visit families, friends, and some sight-seeing.  I will be traveling to Beijing, Xi’an, Shanghai, Chengdu, Jiuzhaigou, etc., hence I won’t be able to access internet sometimes.  I will try to check in here from time to time when I can, and post some pictures of the trip.

Nobody miss me while I am gone, Ok? ;)

WATCH WATCH WATCH for people slipping you counterfeit money.

My brother just came back from China in June and said a little old lady slipped him a fake $50.  They had agreed on a price for a china set, then when he handed her a $50, she instantly changed her price to a higher amount that he didn't want to pay.  When he then decided against buying the tea set, that's when she did the old switcheroo.

He also said he was unable to give blood when he came back as some of the places he went to - the area where the terra cotta warriors were - were on the list for bird flu contamination.

He also said the pollution in Beijing was terrible and both he and his wife had coughs by the end of the week and pedestrians do NOT have the right of way.

But other than that, have a great time.  :)   Love ya!!  MWAH!!  :-*
