Guest R2D2 Posted February 6, 2003 Report Share Posted February 6, 2003 Hey people send some money my way and I will travel anywhere in China you ask. I have not been a foreign expert for a long time now and have not had a free trip in the last 5 months. Hope Eric doesn't get mad, but I was even a Frenchman for a cosmetic company one time. B)Dan, you are to eager! You have to play hard to get! Link to comment
danswayne Posted February 6, 2003 Report Share Posted February 6, 2003 I tried that before and found out real fast it doesn't work very good for a boy from Paris. Esp. one from Paris, TN. Link to comment
owenkrout Posted February 6, 2003 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2003 Just thought that I would share this. Those of us actually living here will especially appreciate it. My wife is on the phone right now negotiating the price of plane tickets to Beijing. She will argue for ten minutes over half a quai, so you can imagine what the conversation over the 650 quai tickets is like! Link to comment

Nicole Posted February 6, 2003 Report Share Posted February 6, 2003 Owen, I have taken back the tickets for you and your wife now. it was that T97 from Beijing to GZ 9 th 10:06 am starting and arrived 10 th 9:15 am to GZ. It has the beds then you can sleeping and you could feel comfortable for a long trip. When you booked the bus, just let me know a exact time arrived BJ so I can pick you up at the station. I had booking a hotel for you one day(8th). I will see you off at the train station the 9 th morning, so make sure that everything is ok for you. When you arrived GZ and you can contact John’s wife if you need some help when you arrived GZ. Link to comment

Keep contact.JenniferAll that food sounds great, especially the Morning Tea items as well as lunch. I am all for eating. As for the mental support and shopping, well, the mental support sounds great. Also, there is supposedly some place in GZ that sells wedding dresses cheap (Li read about it on the 001 Board). Last time in GZ she also bought one of those red traditional Chinese dresses. I think she is interested in going to the wedding dress place, maybe on Sunday. If you know where this place is and how to get there, give her a call or send a message to her cell phone, or PM me and I will let her read it. Seriously, she really wants to go there. Guys, by the time this is over I may have to take to begging in the parks. Link to comment
