3. Yeha, I went to what they call "the wild wall"
It's not fixed up and just left to rot... so it is dangerous in some parts. But it's better than the commercialized "tourist wall" which is closer to Beijing and kinda disneyfied.

6. Wow! Fantastic !
And the Wall is not bad either. :P

It's weird I saw several documentaries about the Great Wall but

seeing your pictures (they are great BTW) is making it more "real".

That must be quite an experience that you're having over there.

Thanks for sharing with us. :)

25. The hongster?
Edited on Tue May-26-09 10:57 AM by HEyHEY
We've been seeing each other for a couple months almost, she's a travel writer and translates novels. She's also working on a book about "funny death" stories. She's really cool. Wrote me a short story in english the other night. I've never had a girl do something so thoughtful for me before. Great sense of humour and an uber cute voice/accent. She talks a bit like a robot when she speaks english.

She's off to Southern China for a three month assignment, so I have no idea what will happen when she returns, and that sucks. But, she made me a bunch of rice wrapped in leaves before she left and my Chinese co-workers tell me that's a really good thing.
