China! Chengdu Pandas! Chongqing!

This is the panda post. Yes they're adorable, but attempt to refrain from squeeing too loudly. Your roommate/significant other will appreciate the effort.

Is this the picture with the battle panda? No, it's the one with the guy who got everyone to stop fighting because he waved a panda flag. That's boring, I'm gonna go find the armoured panda picture - Pullman aint got nothing on recorded history.



Oh yeah, that's the one.

Picasa screws my picture order yet again. Anyway, this is a Chinese sleeper bus. They're more comfortable than they look.


Yeah, I have no idea either.


I came to Chongqing purely so as to try this: Hotpot, supposedly the spiciest food in China. You drop bits of meat and vegetables and nameless things to cook in this boiling broth. It sure was spicy, but I reckon I've had Durban curries that were spicier. 


Mmm, mandu.

Hello, Mr Bear.

Just walking Chongqing around I found this portion of the old city wall with these bronze statues engaged in pepetual war.







This is the Red (not giant) Panda. He's pretty sweet too.


They sleep in trees, and somehow don't fall out.



The lazy buggers go through a lot of bamboo every day.

Can you spot three bears in a tree?
