Hello from China!

[rossage]

Im sure that he knows the important phrases:

“Where’s the bar?”
“Where can I make a score?”
“Where is the rest room?”
“Where is the massage parlor?”

When traveling overseas, the taxi driver has the answers to all your questions!

@rossage , take it easy on the baijiu over there.

That stuff will put you in the hurt locker. Tastes like lighter fluid, kicks like a mule!

"would you like to see my van"

Our guide picked us up at the train station in a Cadillac! Made in China. Ha ha!

It's currently 7am tomorrow here.
Anybody want to know some sports scores to bet on? Maybe a stock tip or two?
Living in the future.

Pu Pu platters are American-Chinese like the stuff at Panda Express.
Hunan province is famous for their spicy cuisine. They have amazing la rou which is smoked pork served in a stir fry with veggies....

Well,, I drove all the way to Denver for an authentic omelet. Thanks for the clarification.

Killer vacation, brother! Safe travels to you and yours; keep milking the destinations.

With their "one child" policy, hot Chinese women are a rarity! All those families with their successful sons... and no one to marry them to!

That policy is no longer in place. They can have two kids now. Total baby boom now!
"Hot" is a relative term and what westerners perceive as a "hot" Chinese woman is different from what the Chinese do.
To put that in perspective, I am constantly approached by women here. In the US, I have to drive around in my van looking for them...

I have been happily married for 13 years to a smart and beautiful Chinese woman.

Never been to China. Some pics would be awesome!
Plz

Haha. Awesome, my friend.

There is beauty everywhere that becomes recognizable with some cross-cultural pollination. Enjoy it.

Burned through 2 passports coming here...

Just waiting for a better connection. I have a lot...

Monkey waiting for a chance to steal some candy

Shoe covers? For what?

A glass bridge, of course!

So cool to be standing 350m over the canyon...with 10000 of your closest friends.

That ^^^^ looks amazing! What are we looking at?

 

[rossage]

Bus ride cell coverage is spotty...

That ^^^^ looks amazing! What are we looking at?

Clockwise from the rice is a spicy bamboo stir fry, greens are generic poached Chinese veggies, top is potatoes and smoked pork in a simmering wok, and finally sweet potatoes noodles called fen si. Wash it down with some local tea and call it delicious!

Love it, thanks!!!!!!

Is there a micro-brew scene in China?

 

[rossage]

So we are on a bus heading into the countryside to visit my wife's family lao jia, old place, or hometown. My mission this trip was to deliver my mother and father in law here so they could see it one last time. They are both in their 80s now.
The old place without running water has been replaced by a new home which we will see for the first time later today.
Couple of more days and I will have my Merida mtb in hand to show the locals how to rip!

Love it, thanks!!!!!!

Is there a micro-brew scene in China?

Not that I have seen. There is plenty of beer about, Tsingtao, Snow, Huang He even Budweiser. Pabst Blue Ribbon is a premium brand here... Go figure.
I don't drink any more and there are
Very strict rules against any kind of smokeable flowers so straightedge Ross is in play...

More shoe covers for the glass cliff trail. That's 250m straight down... Into the clouds. Look up Tianmenshan wingsuit deaths for some harrowing stories...

 

[rossage]

You might have seen this in a Red Bull or Land Rover commercial. That's 900 stairs going up.

The coke tastes the same, Doritos not really.
