So... you were the JET in Chikura? Are those your canada map puzzles in the cabinet? I think I am living in your old house. If you get this and are interested, I use facebook, Noel Perry. Lets chat about Chikura!
My waiting with the uploads is really about limiting my activity. I would not intend to upload six or seven reports a month again. I am already pushing my luck with so many photo uploads a day... :)
Many thanks for your colourful comment on the report! Yes, it seems I manged to publish mine first. But I am really curious what you will say! Uh, by the way, I have a few other PRC reports in the waiting... I did not want to publish all at once, to avoid inundating members with so much material...

Hi James, seeing your report about Japan makes me even more wanting to go there..Really need to save more from now.. Nice reading your writing anyway, I look forward for more of your writings & reports :D
Yes, my holiday in People's Rep of China is not free from challenges. But, hey, it might have been boring otherwise. Not a chance for the eclipse in Shanghai, rain in Xi'an and cancelled leg for Tibet. However, it is an experience. I am surprised and hmm... somewhat disappointed with China. After 5,000 years of fascinating history, the nation appears to be giving in to Western influences, and not the best ones, I'm afraid...
Oh, well... I'm in Chengdu now, in the great Sichuan province (loving food here!!) and tomorrow I'm off to see the Giant Panda. Hopefully, this will improve my mood slightly ;)
I read your travel log from China. It is great! I was intrigued with the entry about the Summer Palace in Beijing, and wondered how much time I should dedicate to visit it. I realise that it is a complex of a considerable size, but would 2-3 of hours be pushing it as too short?
I can see that you moved around using buses. Is metro not a good option at all?

thanks for reading and rating my report on Valladolid.
The funny thing is, Valladolid isn't really off the beaten track; everybody going from east to west or back in the Yucatan comes through here, but people rarely stop, which is a shame. Or maybe not!!
