Right now I'm in Chengdu. I haven't seen much of the city because it has been non-stop sightseeing at sights just outside the city since we got here. It was an 18 or so hour train ride here, but its ok because we had a sleeper car again.
Before Chengdu, we were in Xi'an, and I really really liked that city. The food was great, the city was pretty clean and well designed, I just liked it. I don't really know what to say, it has been so non-stop. I'm seeing a lot of stuff and eating a lot of good food, I'm actually surprised at the food situation, I thought it was going to be really stressful and stuff, but it's been great.
Tonight a few of us just walked around E Mei Mountain, which is one of the four sacred Buddhist mountains. We met some people and just played cards for about an hour with them.
I really, honestly, don't know what to say. I have a ton of pictures and at some point I'll get around to uploading them and putting them on here, but it will probably be pretty hectic for about the next month as I do all my travelling. So just hang in there. I'll be in Chengdu for a couple of days, although in different spots. Technically right now, we are just outside of Chengdu. In a couple of days we will go to Chongqing, and after that a river cruise to Wuhan, then to Nanjing, Shanghai and Hong Kong. Then I'm meeting up with Ted in Thailand. I'll make a new post in a while.
