A very Chinese silence.

I know it’s hardly news to most of you, and the emails that you sent us are testament to that, but on May 12th the Sichuan area of China was devastated by a massive earth quake. We usually try to keep the stories posted here light and fun, but sometimes you have to acknowledge that there is a down side to things and ride with it.I guess we feel for the people there quite strongly for a few reasons; it goes without saying that any humanitarian disaster can make you feel empathy, but here in Tangshan they have a special understanding of what happened, seeing as how the Sichuan quake was the deadliest since the one that struck here in 1976 – and many of our students and friends have memories and stories to tell of that event. It’s also quite distressing seeing the rescue work and children being pulled out of collapsed schools of the same age, and wearing the same track-suit uniforms as those pupils we teach day-in day-out.I have to commend the people of China and those we know who seem willing to do anything to help those affected. A lot could be learned from their attitudes.A week exactly to the time and day of the quake, there was to be a three minute silence across the country. Valmai and I were in Beijing at the time and went to the entrance to the Forbidden City around the time of the silence. It was eerie – as the time approached people started to fall silent, Chinese and foreigners alike with heads bowed – even most the tour groups with their blaring megaphones hushed. The usually incessant traffic ground to a standstill and slowly, drivers got out of their cars.Then it started. Car horns! Not the usual punctuation racket of daily life in Beijing, but one, continuous sound as the drivers paid their respects, a very Chinese form of silence!All across the city, and from reports we watched later, the country, the same scene of tribute was repeated.In the night we walked an area of SanLiTun known for its bars. A usually vibrant place the atmosphere was subdued, and outside many of the restraints and bars candles were lit – most in the shape of hearts – and within the hearts, more candles were arranged, reading 12th/5th (The date of the quake), or ‘Sichuan’ in Chinese characters.Good luck to all those affected, our thoughts are with you.

The ancient city of Dali

After 2 days we headed Northwest to Dali. A city with a lot of influence from Budhism. Old town Dali is surrounded by a massive wall that protected the city from outsiders during ancient time. We spent the day with 1 KungFu teacher that we met and 2 local Chinese girls. Us 5 enjoyed a great homecooked dinner and shared stories. The next day we biked to the 6th largest freshwater lake in China. Biking through small little villages we could see the old cobblestone streets and narrow alleys through the villages.

Hoi An - The tailoring capital of Vietnam

After a short bus trip from Hue, viewing at least one up turned lorry on the way, we arrived at the small town of Hoi An. Amazingly, Hoi An was pretty much untouched during the wars and as such has retained some of it's old buildings and charm. It was once an important trade port for Vietnam and Asia but is now the tailoring captial of Vietnam. Almost every other shop was offering to create you, made to measure, the latest fashion wonders for a great price.While here we had lots of free time to explore and shop. We hadn't planned to have any clothes made but when we found a place making made to measure jeans we could not resist. Charlie had a pair of jeans made and Carl had a denim jacket.The traffic in Hoi An is also pretty quiet so one afternoon we hired pushbikes and rode down to the beach for a late lunch at Mrs Mans restaurant. While enjoying a nice meal we met, and bought jewelry from, the Vietnamese Del Boy. He was great, he had all the talk and all that was missing was the chunky gold rings - we couldn't help but part with our money.Hoi An was a great place to recharge our batteries a bit before moving on to Ho Chi Minh City.

Ho Chi Minh City

After a short flight from Denang we arrived in the bustling city of Ho Chi Minh. Vietnam's most modern city. After a quick freshen up we went out exploring and to get a bite to eat.The first thing we noticed about Ho Chi Minh City is not just how modern it is compared to the rest of Vietnam but how big it is, and we have never seen so many motorbikes. To cross the road here the advice is to move very, very slowly.One of the favourite sayings of people in Asia is 'Same Same but Different' and they use it when describing something that is basically similar to something but not quite right. This was wonderfully used in a restaurant in Ho Chi Minh City when Charlie ordered a chicken dish and was presented with a seafood dish instead (Charlie cannot eat seafood). We asked for it to be changed only to be told "No, it is fine, same same....but different" We couldn't help but laugh, although we did get the dish changed.That night we ate in the market and had great fun with our food as we ordered our own personal hot tile over coals and cooked our meat ourselves. We went to bed reasonably early that night as we were off to Cu Chi and the tunnels early in the morning.
