As Faithless say....... I can`t get no sleep

nee haa everybody! (thats hello in Mandarin!)
Well its 4 in the morning and I am wide awake in the city of Chongqing. We arrived yesterday and for the past 36 hours I have been completely fascinated by this place! It is just one major assault on your senses - sounds, smells, sights, and especially tastes are all completely different here in Chongqing. We visited the Children`s Palace today (Sunday) and then went for a traditional sichuan meal - tried Turtle soup, Whole Duck (yes, including bill!!) and some Yak! the food is very spicy in this region (and plentiful) Everywhere you look there is a different food, vegetable, meat, fruit, that I have not come across before. here is an account of the visit today. It was my turn to take notes - it's a bit formal but it is for the report that we have to do for the British Council....... see you soon - out into the rural areas tomorrow. Dislikes at the moment just two words - Warm beer!! - hope to finda few cold ones!
