We called out and checked everywhere - nobody. Not about to give up after spotting some interesting dessert offering on the menu, we decided to sit and wait.A lady came in after a few minutes - it was Mrs Cheng. Mr. Cheng turned up quite quickly after and to our surprise he spoke very good English with a British accent!We ordered our basic meal of egg fried rice with 2 meat and 3 vegetarian dishes.

Planning To Go To Huangshan
2007-07-03 10:59:00 Our plans are set. We are taking a bus to Hangzhou, then another from Hangzhou to Huangshan. After much research and calling for information we found the best route in the shortest time.The initial shocker was that the bus from Ningbo to Huangshan takes 9 hours! I was going to give my excuses and just go to Shanghai instead. Good thing the rest of the party was equally as adverse to the idea of being stuck in a bus for such a long time.I'm pretty excited although David is a bit apprehensive - well for me, actually. I don't travel very well because I suffer from motion sickness. It started as young as 1 mth old. Mom said I would throw up when she had to drive with me in the car from PJ to KL! I have it much under control now with a load of pills, oils and gadgets but would still feel queasy when traveling on windy roads or in boats (more due to the diesel fumes). It hasn't stopped me from traveling - I just have to be prepared.So this backpacking sorta trip will be another first i...
