can I get an “Amen”? June 1
Good news a coming!:
First, Jesper is up and running, and knocking his head into more door-tops than ever before – the majority of Dun Jack’s family has joined an anti-concussion comitee, establishing a new division to enstate a national decree in which it is mandatory to have a very visible “Please watch your head” sign across China’s doors to help the vertically-challenged.
Yesterday, we audaciously fought through Bei Jing’s chaotic West train-station; someone could have told us this was the worst day and time to have use of the trains in the year, and I would have believed them – all I know is, I’m pro-have-only-one-child campaign now! Luckily, it turned out to be equivalent of quickly ripping off a band-aid; the “pain” was brief and we were rewarded with a luxurious compartment within new trains (that have been made for travelling between Bei Jing and LaSha) – it was all awesome!
This morning, we stepped off our train and onto Xi An soil for the first time. As we found our personal guide; she was quickly, yet effectively, interrogated. Her name is Jennifer, is at least 30, native to Xi An, has a birthmark on the left gastrocnemeus, majored in tourism and English, lives 5 stops with the bus away, and is pretty awesome. Our hotel is located 4 minutes from the center of Xi An (marked by the Bell Tower)and is beside a KFC;across from a Pizza Hut; and using the Bell tower, Pizza Hut, and KFC to create a triangle, McDonalds is on the hypoteneus; it is awesome. We visited the Shang Xi museum, where we got a history lesson of Xi An through viewing relics pre-dynastic and from the dynasties.
We continued to the Wild Goose Pagoda – a 60 meter building of 7 levels. It is surrounded by scenery which is inexplicably awesome. We could not be having more awesomely fun!
If one notices, this post is riddled with the word “awesome” where one would conveniently want some detail and characteristics. Well, heres the real good news – we have found a way to upload all pictures and are currently doing it. Since the internet is very slow, we can not post all the pictures at once – but the site will be reloaded everyday from now on!
In the words of various discredited evangelists:
“Can I get an ‘Amen’?”

Vore bønner er blevet hørt. Massert af billeder til weekenden og nærlæsning af beskrivelsen.
Vi skulle hilse mange gange fra mor, som skal have ny hofte den 8. juni.
Vi skrives senere. Nu skal der fordøjes.

Hej venner i Kinas land! Det lyder som om I har en rigtig fed tur! Jeg kunne ikke være mere misundelig – nyd det i fulde drag! Dun, hold dig væk fra modne kvinder. de vikler dig bare ind deres net af charme og erfaring, men knuser dit hjerte i sidste ende… eller sådan forholder det sig ifølge Daniel Steel… Jeg savner jer allesammen og ville hellere end gerne være der, så AM ikke skal have sin PMS alene! Jeg mangler jer – skynd jer hjem om lidt over en måned 🙂
Håber snart at høre fra jer!
– Maria
P.S. Pas nu på det fine hoved, Jesper – ellers bliver DTU bare skuffede efter sommerferien 😉

Hej Hannibal og kammerater, sjovt at følge med i turen, der sker da lidt. Tror I nogen sinde i kan vænne jer til bare at stå op om morgenen, gå i skole, komme hjem, spise lidt mad, se lidt TV og så gå i seng ?
Jeg var i Shenzen for 10 år siden, jeg ved det har udviklet sig meget siden, den gang var der intet at købe, møg beskidt, få dårlige restaurenter, en del biler men kun 2 typer: Sort Tyota Crown eller sølv minibus. Jeg så også det der mini Kina i model, det var faktisk meget godt lavet. (målt med datidens målestok)
Hong Kong er vist blevet mere kinesisk, og det er i syd Kina de spiser alt med 4 ben (undtagen stole og borde), så prøv lykken med et alternativt måltid.
Hilsen
