wuhan panorama

so here is a big ass picture or Wuhan. It was taken from the top of a place called yellow crane tower. It was a really scenic place, and has been there for about 1000 years, although it has been rebuilt every 500 years or so. But really as an American if anything is over 10 years old its pretty cool. i just thought that I would throw this up here to show people what a chinese town really looks like. Not much different than any other city that big really, its just weird to think that there are 8 million people in Wuhan and probably about 20 people in the USA know that it exists. I did not even know it existed till I bought a ticket to go there! I am going to Beijing in two weeks, so there will be more pictures coming from that. Then after i do that i will move to Qingdao and start teaching there on the 13th of August. These next few weeks will be really busy so I will try hard to keep everything up to date.

Wuhan.. so hot right now!

I just got back from taking about a week trip to a city called Wuhan. Its a meager city of 8million that about 3 people in America know about. The city it self did not look much different than any other chinese maga city, but it was really a cool. Not cool in the heat sense, its known as one of Chinas three Furnaces. and that is saying a lot since Shenzhen is 90 everyday and is not one of them. So needless to say it was hot as hell. But my chinese friend Eric (not his real name...DUH) went with us and has some friends there that rolled out the red carpet for us, more like rolled out the party bus for us. Really had a great time. the food is know for being really spicy, but it was really good. Food from the area that i live in (Quangdong provence) is known for being bland and now i know why. there was also some really cool things to see in the town. like a 1000 year old tower thingy, and some old looking shit. the women there are also known for being very beautiful, tall and skinny, and they did not dissapoint. The people there also were also more open, maybe because we were in a college part of town. Shenzhen is really reserved and people are just old fashined here. while Wuhan looked older than Shenzhen the people are definetly more out going and open then here. I think the best explanation of Shenzhen is that Its a city where everything building has changed, every road built better, but the people have not changed, and probably wont for a long time.

But enough jibber jabber, heres some photos. enjoy!
