The Chinese Oddssey Continues... Neverending.

nee how (hello),

When i decided to come to China... I was super kicked....
a land of mystery, history, culture... an emerging super power...
from what i have gained from this trip till now...
welll it couldnt be any worse.. (actually.... maybe it could)...

In Guilin (amazing landscape and jazz) today..thankfully leaving for Shanghai( New York, New York!) tomorrow!

The trip till now:
Beijing : Ming Tombs (other than sacred path, not amazing), Tienanmen's Square (too much of Beijing 2008 logos abound), Forbidden City (should have remained forbidden), Summer Palace (all summer and water, very little palace), Great Wall of China(the only saving grace in a dead city), Legend of Kung Fu(A fantastic show at the Red Theatre... 5 Stars!)

Xi'an: Terracotta Warriors(fantastic, highlight of the the tour), Tang Dynasty Show(Amazing Dance Show), Big Wild Goose Pagoda (not all the pagoda i thought it to be)

Guilin: Nothing great in picturesque ness, Li River Cruise(rip-off, waste of 5 good hours!), Fubo Hill(illogical.)

Shanghai : Coming soon....

Have clicked around 400 pictures and will upload them once i am back in bombay.

Cheers, and zee gee an (goodbye) from Guilin.
