ARCHIVE - Frantically preparing for rain...in the desert

busann15 — Wed, 16 May 2007 07:06:48 -0700

This isn't for the anthology I just thought I'd post it to let you all know how life goes here:

The clouds had been hovering on the horizon all day, and slowly but surely the wind gained ferocity.

By midday it was decided that something should be done, and the clothes in the yard were covered with plastic.

By evening the clouds had grown close and ominous. Everything needed to be brought inside.

Though today "everything" didn't mean the camel saddles, some mattresses, pillows, and blankets. All but one room in the house was empty as the floor had just been retiled. Everything meant everything.

The food is fabulous and I wanted to give you an example. So, here was the lunch (yes just lunch) for today (in no particular order):

- Deep fried taro balls (absolutely delicious!)

- Skewers of nummy lamb seasoned with cumin and other wonderful spices

Arrival to China! We have all arrived safe and sound.

March 17, 2007
The two major places we saw today were Tianamen Square and the Forbidden City. Tianamen Square is where the new goverment resides and conducts business, much like our Washington monument and white house.

Then the Forbidden City is right across the street and was home to the old emperors and empresses. The Forbidden City had many elaborate buildings and gardens and they were all very old. The best part was the garden with all the trees and flowers. At the entrance to the garden stood two trees that had branches growing together towards the top. The placard said that the the last emperor and empress that lived in the city "wished to be like two birds flying into heaven with one set of wings and like two trees growing into the earth with interlocking branches."
