We were at the airport at 6:30PM only when we received or tickets did we find out the plane was scheduled to depart at 11:15PM and of course the plane was delayed one hour.

Hand-selecting our furniture is very important to us and we think to our customers. This pro...]]>Ji'an - Quiet City in the Jilin CountrysideFri 5 Jan 2012 2:14:00 GMTmannylamanchahttp://www.chinatravel.com/china-travel-story/story1337.htmhttp://www.chinatravel.com/china-travel-story/story1337.htm For the second time in my life, I chose a travel destination by looking at a map and thinking gee, that place looks like its in the boonies- why dont I go there?

Weve walked through the sections where they keep all the live chickens, ducks and rabbits in cages and fish in big sinks. Weve even seen dog being cut up but we dont want to eat it! We were in a spice shop in the market and I blew chilli powder all over my face and into my eyes. I screamed so loudly the whole market was watching, and Mum had to come and wash it out with water.
