Qingdao is a beautiful place. It's considered a beach resort town for the Chinese. When we drove up into the Lao Shan Mountains yesterday, I was astounded to find that the coast looked a great bit like Malibu, but with more trees. The weather has been mimicking California as well, with slight (to heavy) fog all day and cool ocean winds tempering the sun. The city itself is becoming stylishly modern, and is approaching 8 million people, while still remaining clean and relatively quiet. It is quite pleasant here.
So why then am I heading back into Hell's Sauna- Vietnam? Du Ma! May noi gi vay?! I guess I thrive on hardship. I am heading back to Beijing today, and tomorrow I have a train ticket all the way to Hanoi. I'll be traveling clear across China, which should be interesting. I'll talk to you back in the 'Nam.

Happy Gemini Birthday Celebrations to you!
This is Nisa from Portland saying thanks for sharing your trip with all of us. Love reading your blogs; it's like a mini-series I'm addicted to reading once a weeek. Hugs and Health to you!
Happy birthday byatch (i'll admit i'm a few days late and posting to an old post but come on... give a brother some credit). Portland is grand as always. The fleet was in town for Rose Festival a few days ago. You could almost get within 250 yrds of the ships this year ;) Hope you are well brother. I look forward to your next installment. -Chris S.
thanks folks!
