Survivor China

I have been waiting and waiting for the new Survivor China series. The ads showed the wonderful mountains of south China near the city of Guilin. In the spring of 2006 I did a three week tour of the country - and this part was my favourite. These ancient limestone peaks rise out of the flat Li Valley floor...... very spectacular.





















I was a bit disappointed in the show - the intro was great and the bits they showed to introduce each section had good pictures - but it didn't seem as if the action was in this part of China. They also showed the Great Wall - which is at least 1000 miles from Guilin and these mountains. It is just like having Survivor in the Yukon, and showing Vancouver and Medicine Hat. Anyway, I shall continue to watch for the glimpses of the things and places I have seen.






















I really want to go back. Did you catch the Great Wall in summer, with everything green? This is the day in March when I was there. Do you want to come?

So far, so confusing....

I spend most of my day at the computer. I am really good at the things I have to do - but new programs confuse me. Maybe it is my advanced age. So I have been puzzling over the blog - opening windows and closing them, moving things and then deleting them. I would ask Rain to help - but she is always very busy - and then she might think I am clueless. Mothers have to keep up their image of competence - false though it might be! And she said blogging is easy...
