So I finally managed to get to Tibet. The first impression is amazing. Arrival in the mountains, the airport bus which stops outside the Potola, center of town around the temple and Jongking pilgrimage route around it. Anyway I've never felt a true city, beautiful and with much fervor in China. Unfortunately as the days are beginning to understand China's strategy for this province, ie, circle Lhasa into a city Chinese as commonplace as the others, bringing massive Chinese tourists and that the Tibetans are becoming a majority among them, make downtown a kind of Disneyland or Chinese tourists scramble as in all other tourist sites in China and do a real occupation of the country (region). To say I will not even visit the Potola. Plus it's hard to leave Lhasa for he needed permits and going through an agency which is controlled or subject to government and this is not how I plan the trip. So after having understood it, I do what I can with another French; we walk in the mountains around Lhasa is already great smile and Tibetans, a people who suffered so much because the thing into perspective and gives us a good lesson. That, despite these happy little notes, I am very happy to be here to see the situation closely and enjoy these magical landscapes. ps: the camera is the English TV, I say shit on the Chinese policy, a brief urge to taste the top of the world's prisons, but so far no good news.

Hiv Test Result After 80 Days
Chendu Sichuan &
arrived from Xian to Chengdu. The first day is reserved in search of a visa to go to Tibet, something that proves to be less laborious than everybody likes to say. It must still wait 4 days. During time so I visited Sichuan, beautiful area. There are the giant panda, Mount Emei Shan which means sacred to Buddhists but is a tourist attraction more than anything, and the Leshan Giant Buddha, which is impressive but once again, full of tourists, prices of input high and the whole site that loses its charm. Voila, so I left China to join Tibet over the whole planning, above all these governmental strategies become increasingly evident over time and over the lack of character of the city. But hey, it's still a country full of contrasts and extremely interesting to visit. Back around August 10 to close the loop in particular through the Yunnan (Myanmar border), a region apparently very beautiful.

Do You Have To Use Konad Nail Polish
I continue my walk ...
After Luoyang I'm going towards the east two days, during which I had much rain, great. Kaifeng, a city pretty cool, then Shaolin, it was really nice but hey, like all the rain it loses its Carmelite, but we do not choose. After I returned to Xian where I just spent three days, it was cool meeting a lot of people, did a little celebration. Today I am going to Chengde, the gateway to Tibet, I cross my fingers but I'm confident it's going to happen. So 16 hours by train, what a good rest, (I'm in bed, all right). I also tested the fifth class of train Chinese - super communism - and that's standing, and no way to sit down or put her bag qq PCQ share with the world it is we must move constantly especially when you are like me between the toilet and hot water for noodles. In short, experience more, but 5 h ts a bit long.

Replacement Seats Wellcraft
Since I left Beijing I have not bad move. The first day I took a night train hard seats Datong direction - I did not sleep at night is absolutely uncomfortable, there are people who sleep on the floor, noise constantly, the car smoked and so on. The next day I spent the day I visited Datong or caves with Buddhist statues dating back over 1500 years, impressive. Then I descended into a coal mine still in operation, the visit was as interesting as the discovery of this mining town truly representative of the time when communism was still a reality with propaganda at all street corners. The same evening I took an overnight train in sleeper this time much more comfortable to Pingyao, a small town packed with history, very nice, I spent two days and one night: bike rental, visit Many sites, good little party yesterday and then a bit of rest did me good. Then last night, another night train to Xi'an where I've come and gone before I went to Luoyang where I am tonight. Luyang is a city of 6 / 7 million inhabitants as Datong but unlike the latter much better. In the coming days I think going to the Shaolin temple, the Mecca of Kung Fu, then Kaifen, always in the Henan region before returning to Xi'an by three days to visit the soldiers Taracotta. So the program is loaded, I get used to being looked up and down by everyone I meet, I alternate as cities or tourist I meet a lot of "Western" and non-tourist towns or I do not see one white. In all cases it's super rewarding and I thoroughly enjoyed.

Beijing
Here I am in Beijing for five days now and the program has so far been well filled. First I have done on the great classics of the city: the Forbidden City, Temple of Heaven, the Great Wall of China and the Summer Palace. So the base to fit into this culture and see how lived dynasties that preceded China's Ching Kai-shek and Communist China, and indeed they enjoyed themselves emperors Having sites that offer majestic city. Otherwise the Great Wall speaks for itself, it is simply amazing, huge and fabulous, I did a 10km walk over uneven with quite impressive. I also rented a bike yesterday to do as the locals, it was cool. The city of Beijing is also very impressive, between modernity that is very present, the work that places day and night to get ready for the fateful date of commencement of the Olympics and qq the Hutong streets away we dive back in to Beijing 'there are 50 or 100 years, c is very interesting. Apart from that there is a layer of pollution impressive, the city is immense, officially 15 million but the reality is more towards the 25/30 million. Another anecdote: Unable to access blogs, I write so little and yet it is not easy but I can not read or see my pages will explain who may be qq boondoggles and no caption under the photos. In any case, it should first be the Forbidden City and Great Wall, Hutong monitoring, and the Summer Palace. Hopefully I'll have Chengde tomorrow, back to Beijing Friday night and then I leave for my trip, I may also be replaced by Mongolia Tibet for logistical reasons ... to see.
