LOL You do have a point there. :-)
> The first time I went I still had hair down to my tush. And it was a lighter blonde. AND the place I went to was a 10 hour train ride from Beijing, so I wasn't exactly in a touristy area.
I would like to visit the places where tourists don't usually go as well as the typical tourist places. I really want to experience it, ya know. It's soooo cool that you go to do that. :-)

I was at a shop looking at jade (reminder to self, *never* try to get a suitcase full of jade onto a train again) - and anyway this kid, about 5 years old, came right up to me and just looked up and stared. and stared. I looked down at him and smiled and said hello and he went running away, screaming.Awww that's so cute! LOL sorry. I wouldn't take it personally. :-)
A suitcase full! Wow, that sounds like a lot of jade. Why did you have problems with the jade?
Did you travel China with friends? Were you part of a tour group?
