Got a chance to use the computer tonight coz of the contract is needed tomorrow,so finally got some pics uploaded to my photobucket. It has been one week since i am on business trip,i was so excited about it, because i love working while travelling around. but till now seems everything doesn't go that smooth, it has been a tough trip...1> got problems with shipping the products, which make me have to stay one more day in guangzhou to deal with it.2>had a big argument with the hotel in Zhengzhou because they tried to rip us off. the day we checked in they said it's 1160 for two rooms per day. and when we checked out they said : no it's 1160 for one room per day.i felt like : what the hell they r talking about. we tried hard to explain but we also fought hard.at the end i had to tell them: we have no time to listen to all this craps,if you keep wasting us time, i get to call the police...and finally they said it's their staff's mistake because the girl who showed us the rooms never showed up again (but crying while calling me on the phone n said that we misunderstood her).  even though, i hope that she  won't lose her job because of this.all of us got so upset and you may not believe that we spent 3 hours on that! and they ruined our day!!3>Had a business meeting with suplier yesterday moring and spent the afternoon on visiting Shao Lin Tample since it's not that far away from the factory.It should be a good thing, because this is one of my dream to see the real Shaolin but not just in the movies... but sh*t,can't believe that i was treated by the monk,they sold some stuff there and said that the money will be used on suporting poor kids go to school, and said all the stuffs there are blessed by the head monk of Shaolin tample. and i saw there are some nice stuffs in the box which mark"white jade". so i donated 100RMB, so they wrote my name on the note book and then gave me a small box which a piece of jade in it,i didn't check it because it's too many people there. but when i came back to the hotel, i found out it's fake!!, not jade but glass, sh*t!!! LOL ,so i think the money will go to their pockets but not poor kids then. now you know,if someday you travel to Shaolin tample, be careful of this kind of stuff.more over, i was hitted by the stupid ski lift...my leg still hurt like hell now :-( OK guys, no matter how tough it has been, i will be able to go home in 2 days, and we got the contracts signed.so this is just how life is. i am happy with my work anyway.^^ here are some images:hangzhou010-1.jpgthe gatehangzhou012-1.jpgWanna be like him? hangzhou011-1.jpgSee the holes? this is mark of real Kong Fu :-) hangzhou018-1.jpgCan you read it? now you need a Chinese teacher , hehe hangzhou022-1.jpgNo, didn't get a chance to ride ...:-( hangzhou027-1.jpgThe monks and the flowers.where's the Monks?:Phangzhou030-1.jpg...Don't remember who he is, hehe hangzhou026-1.jpgCan you climb up to the top of that mountain? if so,you are a Kongfu master hangzhou035-1.jpgouch...my Chang leg...hurt :-phave a good week guys ...

Nice pics, that one with the statue (number 7) is a great looking photo. Hard to tell the scale of that statue though. Sounds like you have an interesting job atleast, I bet everyday is not the same. Good week to you too.

great pics lan. i must visit afghanistan one day so i can see john (cerebrus1264) so he can tell me what china is like after he goes there.

or maybe i might just go to china.

i used to be indecisive once but now i'm not so sure

Nice, I have some suppliers close to the Shao Lin Temple too. Last time I was there (about 3 weeks ago) I went to the Longman Grotto to see all of the Buddhas. Have you done that yet?
