Great pictures.  It's funny to see it in the winter compared to how incredibly hot and humid it was in the summer.

Chen, great pictures, love the kids as they look really happy. Are those boats made from bamboo? I also noticed that the lake does not look too deep as I could see grass growing just under the water. I'm glad you had such a nice trip. I look forward to hearing more from you.
By the way, I couldn't help but notice the "english" breakfast signs at the hotel.

Did you notice that British Breakfast got top billing.

American breakfast came only second!!!!!!

chen yan,

Well that's cleared that up... haha!!  Thanks for filling in that dark area for me. lol!!
I think most would have assumed, that the family you went on vacation with, were of Chinese decent, and not given a thought that the hubby was western. What Nationality is he by the way??

I do believe that she said she was single and looking for a husband. However, she is being careful and thoughtful which is to her credit.
and yes she is very cute. We should make her the offical picture taker here. I still love those boats.

Chen Yan, after reviewing your pictures for the 4th time or so, I noticed you did a Michael Jackson on the bridge...:icon_cheesygrin:  or is wearing one glove a chinese tradition? :icon_biggrin:

 about 4ft 11 inches and she was very good manuvering the boat  we had a good time that
 night for almost 2 hours on the boat

Nice photos Chen Yan. I see the little girl will be a hand full when shes older. But shes cute just like her brother. Must have been really cold there. From what the photos looked like. But nice to see different photos from everywhere in China.

It's the web server.  I'm using OpenDNS and it's tell me the server isn't responding.

The link is bad? OR the site cut the link? Most photo storage sites don't want you hot linking to another site. Had this problem with most of the bigger named sites, which is why I don't use any of them anymore.
Title: RE: My Christmas vacation in Yangshuo
Post by: mustfocus on January 06, 2010, 12:07:32 am
51.com isn't loading so I assume it's the web server.  A lot of DDOS's happening lately.  They're targetting smaller servers to take over and then redirect it to bigger projects.
