Early closure of breakfast time (9am)
The location was excellent and easy to get to. The hotel was clean and the staff was friendly. I would definitely stay again.
Shuttle took us to restaurant and picked us up. To dark in winter to walk anywhere close to eat. Be sure to check the wait line at restaurant before the driver leaves. Really nice room and up to date. Computer to print out air tickets.
No shuttle from downtown inner Harbor area. Cab fee was $50 with tip!! Not as expensive going into Baltimore from airport!!!
Very comfortable bed, brightly lit room. Staff when we checked in at 8 pm was good
Staff when we checked out at 4 am was not great. Our request for morning call n packed breakfast was not executed though there was a note left by earlier staff. She didnt check her worksheet properly! She tried to put sthg tog for us but kitchen was closed so she couldnt do much except for muffins. No coffee either.
Room nice
Facilities needed attention. Waited 40 minutes for shuttle
The hotel was very clean. It's well worth it!!!
No hot water for shower, no soap, no toilet paper refill and noise of flushing toilets was heard all night.
When booking the hotel, the check out time was stated at 12pm. However at 11:20am, the cleaning staff knocked on the door and said weekdays checkout is 11am. I'm not sure why there was such a big miscommunication and there was also no mention of the checkout time when I checked in.
Great décor, nice room, close to airport
It's about a 3 mile drive to nice restaurants for dinner.
Appearance and quality of bed
Very slow shuttle service, 50 minute wait at airport. Water in shower lukewarm, not even close to hot. Staff did not seem to care when called about water temp. Unprofessional front staff, loud, laughing, did not feel welcome or appreciated as a guest. Weekend breakfast not starting until 7AM, not convenient for many air travelers. Need some leadership. Had stayed at several other hotels during our vacation and this was our only disappointment! There are so many others to choose in the area, so would not recommend this one by far!
Wonderful hotel, we arrived at midnight, the lady at the front desk was so nice, we travel alot and the beds are so comfortable (top 2 ever). Everything was clean clean clean and the breakfast was very good.
Location and staff were good.
First room shower handle was missing. They moved us to another room and microwave was missing. Also TV for bedroom area was all static for most channels and there was only 1 remote for 2 TVs. I thought the room would be a little more private so that the couch bed would be a little further from the master bed (hard to sleep if kids are watching TV or talking)and I thought there was a mini kitchen (I had brought food for some meals because of this). Would have been nice to have outdoor pool for summer but not a big issue.
We were dropped off at the airport hotel arriving late in the evening and had not had any dinner. The front desk staff (Ciara) gave us information about restaurants that were still open and made arrangements for the hotel bus to drop us off and pick us up! Very convenient!
Staff, room layout
Water leaking from shower onto the floor
Location Good breakfast Extremely friendly staff
Breakfast was hot and fresh. The staff was friendly and the room was spotless. The whole experience was really a highlight to our visit to Baltimore.
There isn't really anything within walking distance. The shuttle is great, but we would have liked to be able to move about on our own. No taxi presence in the area.
Greeted upon entering or leaving Friendly welcoming staff Comfortable beds Clean hotel/rooms
Saturday evening we had noisy/running people on our floor (2nd). Our family was awaken @ about 12:24am & again @ about 2:30am by the noise. Once no towels had been left in our room for us. But overall enjoyed our stay. Would definitely stay again.
Loved the shuttle availability. Mr Thomas was wonderful!
The breakfeast was great rooms where very clean and the staff was excellent
Front desk staff friendly.
Breakfast was horrible. One person working, ran out of food.
Great rates, small pool for young kids and the staff is over friendly and willing to help you out... All you have to do is ask.
No microwave in the hotel rooms and nothing is within walking distance.

"Where is the rest of the book?"
This book had a great beginning and a middle but ends abruptly. I don't mind a book series but I expect each to have at least one complete story within them.

The Super Flash Bros
Man, that was great!! It's a pity that old fun platformers like that are getting unpopular these days. Some people think Mario is chilidish, gee! who cares. I love to see cutesy characters running through sunny landscapes with goofy music!
Original, but too cute.
TEK-9, this may come as a shock to you... But you are not intelligent. Correct spelling and proper sentances. Jesus. This game is not NEAR a copy of Madness Interactive, and MI was on the front page long enough. How do you even type, "Newgrounds," being so stupid as you are. But anyways, the game is original, but it has some bugs, and is a little too cute. The music and everything sounds too, "friendly," but at least it doesn't have heavy metal or rock music that has NOTHING to do with the game, and doesn't fit the situation.
caca pure doo doo
ur nothing but a hemroid on madness interactives ass the guns sounds horrible the animation disgusting the bosses repetitive and crappy i realize its really hard to create a game like that but that doesnt mean i cant give it a low score and i am tellin u why i am and at least try to debug your game before u come out wit it to semi decency there was so many fuckin glitches on there i dont even have time to begin naming that was disgusting why is this on front page and why is madness interactive not plz kill yourself
Great platformer!
A real true blue (no pun intended) platformer! Graphics were cute but fun, controls were easy enough although its hard to keep the crosshair within the Flash pop-up.
Good game!
The game itself was great, graphics were good although sound could be better. Still a good game

adidas Men's Brooklyn Nets Black climalite Performance Polo
Very Satisfied
Nice shirt, fits well, logo is good quality. Color was true, I like the fabric- will be very comfortable in warmer weather. Merchandise is overpriced, but not anymore than any other NFL, NBA, MLB or NHL piece of apparel; you're paying for the logo. But I knew that when I ordered it, so no complaints.

I will be graduating from Pitt in a week with a BS in Mechanical Engineering. I'm moving back to Rochester and will hopefully secure a job soon. I've worked in my school's machine shop for the past two years where I've helped students and faculty machine various projects. I've worked with mills and lathes (both manual and CNC), a laser cutter, 3D printing (SLA and FDM). I've barely scratched the surface of machining and I know there is a lot more I can learn. I also work a lot with CAD (both drafting and 3D modeling). In general, I just like making things. I believe that's what the true spirit of a maker space is and I look forward to being a part of it!

Days of DDP
New to DDP-
We'll be there July 15-checking out on 19th. We'll be staying at the resort for 4-nights but only will be doing 3 park days. We just have the basic Dining Plan (1-snack, 1-QS, 1-TS)- Do we get 4 days worth of DDP or just the 3 days of DDP.. I'm sorry if this has been asked before and that you would have to repeat in answering ;) , just lazy to search right now. Thanks |
The dining plan is based on how many nights you are at your resort - 4 nights = 4 days worth of dining! It doesn't matter how many days you go to a park!
Have a great trip! |
Thank You for clarifying that for me. I'm a little nervous on how hot it's going to be in July.. :faint:

The Intouchables is France's biggest French-language blockbuster worldwide
The Intouchables is now officially the most successful French-made, French-language movie ever at the international box office, reports AlloCine. "International" as in, outside of France. (Photo: The Intouchables Omar Sy, François Cluzet.)
According to Unifrance, Olivier Nakache and Eric Toledano's brotherhood-of-men comedy starring François Cluzet and Best Actor César winner Omar Sy has sold 23.1 million tickets in more than 50 countries, thus breaking the 10-year-old record of the Audrey Tautou vehicle Amelie / Le Fabuleux destin d'Amélie Poulain. In the coming months, there's a good chance The Intouchables will pass the 25 million tickets-sold milestone, as the film has yet to open in the United Kingdom, Australia, and New Zealand.
The Intouchables box office figures
To date, The Intouchables has grossed a whopping $364.13 million at the worldwide box office -- $166.12 million in France alone -- according to figures found at Box Office Mojo. In Germany, it's the biggest 2012 box office hit, with $74.62m. Other top territories (with various "up until" dates) are Spain with $19.91 million, Italy with $18.16 million, South Korea with $11.09 million, the United States with $8.54 million, and Belgium with $8.46m.
If non-French-language movies are added to the mix, the top French-made productions at the international box office -- chiefly thanks to the United States -- remain Luc Besson's The Fifth Element, featuring Bruce Willis, and Pierre Morel's Taken, with Liam Neeson. The former sold 35 million tickets; the latter sold 31m.
Note that in France (and a number of other countries), box office success is tallied according to tickets sold -- not box office grosses. And that's how it should be, so as to avoid distortions caused by inflation and/or special surcharges that are a staple of American box office reports.

Calories by the cupful
Super-sized drinks laden with high fructose corn syrup and sugar are partly to blame for high obesity rate
cutting the calories
It's easy to tell someone to cut out sugary drinks. It's hard to actually do it.Here are some ways to wean yourself from those empty liquid calories.
Water and milk are always a better alternative than a sugary drink.
Sweet tea and lemonade add as many empty calories as soft drinks.
Drink cold water (it tastes better) when you're thirsty and you'll be less thirsty for soft drinks.
If the taste of water is too bland, try calorie-free flavored waters, carbonated waters or add some of the diet flavor packets to a bottle of water.
Have a special container on your desk or nearby to remind yourself to drink water.
Turn down the free soda refills at restaurants.
At the restaurants where soda is self-serve, make the second serving water.
Don't super-size. Ever.
Test diet sodas until you find one you like. There are many brands, flavors and blends to choose from.
To make the transition, gradually dilute your regular soft drink with a diet soft drink in one-quarter increments until it's 100 percent diet.
With no soft drinks in their shopping cart, Jordan Leveque and his fiancee Jocelyn Wilson thought they'd dodged the bad consequences of drinking sugary drinks.
They were wrong.
The label on the V8 Splash Berry Blend in their cart shows the first two ingredients as water and high fructose corn syrup.
"I don't drink any carbonated beverages," Leveque said. "Because it's V8 Splash, we think it's supposed to be really healthy for you. They're probably misleading us."
Even without knowing it, Leveque and Wilson have succumbed to the lure of sugary drinks.
Be it soft drinks, fancy coffees, fruit drinks, lemonade or that "house wine of the South," sweet tea, sweetened drinks have us packing on weight.
Even when we know it's bad, it's still so good.
The increased consumption of soft drinks gets most of the blame for pouring on the pounds, but experts point to the excessive amounts of sugar we consume in all forms of liquid.
"The human body is not designed to handle loads of sugar," said endocrinologist Dr. Ralph Goodman. "Ten thousand years ago people didn't eat like this and we didn't have these diseases of civilization."
He's talking about diseases including diabetes and obesity.
At the center of the problem is high-fructose corn syrup, which by the 1980s had replaced sugar in soda and
is now the sweetener of choice for everything from soft drinks to ketchup.
There is research that parallels the rise in its use with the rise in obesity, Goodman said.
"I think there's good evidence that it's not good for you," Goodman said.
Some studies suggest that high-fructose corn syrup (HFCS) is not processed in the body in the same way as sugar and may turn to fat more easily.
Other studies say HFCS may not trigger the body's signal that it's full, so you continue to consume extra calories.
During its annual meeting in June, the American Medical Association considered a resolution that would have asked the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to include a warning label connecting HFCS's with obesity.
However, the AMA tabled the request, citing the need for further research.
The American Dietetic Association (ADA) hasn't yet boarded the anti-HFCS bandwagon, said Ashley Hofeditz, spokesman for the Memphis District Dietetic Association.
"There are studies showing that it's causing problems, but there needs to be more research to prove if any of this kind of stuff is true," Hofeditz said.
What she and Goodman agree on is that the rise in the consumption of soft drinks parallels our increasing girth.
"The consumption has increased by more than five times in the past 50 years," Hofeditz said. "And milk consumption has decreased."
Charlene Rose, 40, of Midtown doesn't give soft drinks to her children, Grace Gipson, 4, and Zack Gipson, 5. But she does give them other sweet drinks, such as lemonade and chocolate milk.
"I think I'm probably more aware of junk food than drinks," Rose said. She does drink soft drinks and goes for the 10 for $10 specials, featuring 10 12-packs of soda for $10.
The problem, Hofeditz said, is both HFCS and sugar and the calories that go with them.
With 150 calories in a 12-ounce regular soft drink, a soda at lunch and another at dinner adds 300 calories that aren't offset by nutrients.
The soft drink has HFCS, but the problem would be the same with a sugary sports drink or tea sweetened with sugar, Hofeditz said. "I would rather eat my calories," she said.
And we're drinking so much more. She said super-sized drinks add calories and nobody eats less to counter-balance the calories.
"We're thinking, 'If I sit outside watching my kid play soccer I need some 40-ounce sports drink.' That's not true," Hofeditz said.
"More and more kids are drinking all the fake juices that are fortified and they're trying to fortify the sodas, but it still is not a good thing because we need to get our nutrients from our food," she said
Instead, drink milk and water every day. You need four ounces of 100 percent juice, not the fruit drinks that are mostly water and sugar or HFCS. Eating fruit instead of drinking lots of juice also gives you the fiber and other nutrients not found in liquids, she said.
Drink coffee without sugar or whipped cream or other fattening additives.
Diet soda is better than regular soda, and it's OK on occasion.
"Every food and beverage can fit. It just needs to be in moderation," she said.
Goodman the endocrinolgist isn't as generous. "There's no need to drink soft drinks," he said. "Period. Ever."

Thread: Question about battery life
07-18-2011, 03:56 PM #1mydisplaycareGuestQuestion about battery life
I have an ipod touch (4g) and I was just wondering what the normal battery life is, or how long you should wait between charges. I heard that the iphone battery wears out quickly, esp if you play games. Is it the same for this?
Yea when you play games on an iPod touch, it drains the battery reallly quickly. If you turn your brightness down, it should help. Like I can play games for probably 2-3 hours on my old iPod
The Following User Says Thank You to Ipodnew842 For This Useful Post:
07-20-2011, 05:13 PM #3mydisplaycareGuest
Thanks! I also heard that you should return to homepage rather than have apps running, before you press the sleep/wake button, that saves battery. In addition, before you sleep, you should also manually close the programs, otherwise they would still be running in the background.
Great tips! keep it up
Normally, those things shouldn't make much difference, unless you're using jailbroken applications that don't cooperate with the builtin powersaving features.
Things that really drain power: WiFi, Bluetooth, Screen brightness.
To maximize the battery runtime for your current usage:
- Keep the screen as dim as you can comfortably read.
- Turn off WiFi unless you need it.
- Turn off BT unless you need it
To maximize battery longevity, to maintain its capacity over its lifetime:
Keep it cool.
- Don't charge if its perceptibly warm to the touch
- Don't USE if its warm to the touch. Turn it off and let it cool.
- Don't keep it continuously charged at close to max capacity:
let the battery drain out while you use it, and only charge when the battery is around 10-20% empty. - Don't let it drain out to empty:
full discharge cycles (100% -> 0%) also degrade battery capacity.
Those may be an unreasonable set of conditions.
In my experience, the degradation over a 2-3 year span isn't too significant if you do occasionally let it overheat, and if you do charge it more often than ideal but I don't have hard numbers for that. Neither will cause immediate harm, but both affect the shape of the curve over time.
Some of the info on this page is a bit old, but I have yet to find anything better (and more accurate)

The Enchanted Cave 2
Delve into a strange cave with a seemingly endless supply of treasure, strategically choos
4.34 / 5.00 31,323 ViewsGhostbusters B.I.P.
COMPLETE edition of the interactive "choose next panel" comic
4.07 / 5.00 10,096 ViewsNote: This game is a multitasker, so if you're not good at multitasking grab a friend and play together. You can both control a single ship each and take turns shooting. However, the game is intended to be played by a single person and is more challenging that way, so if you can do it go for it! Also, the quality can be adjusted in game if the game is running slowly for you.
Aqua Bots DX is an enhanced version of my original game Aqua Bots. Aqua Bots DX features a number of new features such as multiple backgrounds, increased screen resolution, as well as other graphical, game play fixes and improvements.
In Aqua Bots you are given the role of Captain of an experimental line of submarines which have the ability to be controlled by a single person. Your goal is to complete all 8 levels as efficiently as possible to try and get the highest score you can. Use the AWSD Keys to move the top ship and the Arrow Keys to move the bottom. Press Space to shoot, P to Pause and M to mute the music. Unlockable in game is Hyper Mode(Game speed is significantly increased), to unlock it you have to either beat the game with over 32,000 points on Easy, or 30,000 points on medium, or 28,000 points on hard or insane.
-Max Stein

graphics are ok. but the game itself sucked. i played the first level, then switched to my email window, and by the time i got back, it said i won. lame dude. sorry
Really cool
I enjoyed the music, and the 2 ships kept me on my toes. Too often I get left staring at the same character in the middle of the screen. Now I felt my eyes flippin up and down, left to right. good job.
It'd be nice to see this integrated into a more variety filled setting, if possible, with increased motion.
Underwater snore-fest
Old concept, doing two separate things at once with both hands.
I only played through on easy mode, but I was somewhat disappointed that I won the game by staying in the middle of each lane and holding down the fire button.
gets boring. is only challenging for those who have trouble doing to different things with their hands
Have you tried insane mode? It gets pretty intense. Also hyper mode makes it very challenging too.
Great game
This game is a perfect example of a unique concept combined with great execution. High addictive value, very good work. I look forward to seeing more games from you!

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Don't get knickers in knot over latest Coyotes rumours
So, Victor Newman has ordered his minions to fire up the Gulfstream and chart a course for Phoenix. Seems the main villian from the Young and the Restless wants to buy himself a hockey team.
Or maybe it's Stefano DiMera coming ashore after months in his submarine to kick the tires on the Phoenix Coyotes. Beating up on the folks on Days of Our Lives isn't enough to keep him busy, so look out Ron McLean and Gary Bettman and Brian Burke. There could be a new bully in town.
News coming out of the desert the last couple of days has a mystery buyer now interested in purchasing the Yotes. In a related note, the boys from Ice Edge are out of the running but are now putting together a no-cash-for-a-new-building deal in Thunder Bay to house an ECHL franchise. Talk about your left turns.
We've heard from credible sources that there is no new buyer in Phoenix and we've heard from equally plugged-in folks that there is some fire behind this smoke.
Regardless, there is nothing in such news that should elicit much of a response from NHL loving Winnipeggers.
And there will likely be lots more news just like this. Before this deal is put to bed we might meet a sheik, a Texan, a Russian playboy or even a Philadelphia lawyer, all with sights on owning an NHL franchise.
And maybe one of them will get it done.
But Winnipeg's role in this game has already been played. Mark Chipman and his True North Sports and Entertainment group have done their thing. There's nothing more for them to do but wait and see what happens.
When NHL commissioner Bettman told the city of Glendale back in May to either find a buyer for the Coyotes to keep the team in Phoenix or else, the Free Press learned True North was Bettman's other option.
"The owners currently have a bona fide offer from a viable purchaser who would relocate the hockey team to another market for the 2010-11 season and contemplates that the owners (the NHL) would break even on their investment in the team through the end of the 2009-10 NHL season as well as the NHL potentially receiving a relocation fee," read a document between the league and Glendale city council.
Glendale was given a deadline of Dec. 31 to find a buyer to keep the team in Jobing.com Arena.
True North has made its offer and now can do nothing but wait. Same goes for those hoping and praying to see the NHL take up permanent residence in Manitoba.
There's no bidding war between True North and the city of Glendale. There's not even a guarantee that the NHL views Dec. 31 as a hard and fast date.
It would behoove us not to get our panties in a knot, folks.
Hey, do we want the Coyotes to come back to Winnipeg? Of course. But getting all sweaty every time the rumour mill kicks out a sultan or a tire king or even the lady who owned the Chiefs in Slapshot does no good. In fact, it's likely bad for our collective blood pressure.
There's a guy in Phoenix who has been emailing me regularly since May telling me that he 'knew for sure that Ice Edge would land the Coyotes,' and that Winnipeg was just being used. Oddly, he hasn't emailed me for a few days.
Nobody knows what will happen where this deal is concerned. Maybe a billionaire will surface and actually have the money to buy the team and determine it's a solid investment and Phoenix will keep NHL hockey.
Maybe Glendale city council will decide keeping the Coyotes is paramount -- no matter how expensive for their constituents -- and give a potential buyer all the breaks they want.
Or, perhaps time will run out in Phoenix and Bettman and True North will come to an agreement and we can begin fighting over what to call our team.

How Fresh Ricotta Cheese Is Made: A Visit to Salvatore Ricotta in Brooklyn The Cheesemonger This isn't the first time I've written about Salvatore Ricotta. I love their cheese. And I'm not the only one. Lucky me, I paid the facility a visit the other week, and witnessed (and even helped in) the making of a batch of ricotta. Herein, all the details, plus information on what makes their cheese so crave- and praise-worthy.
Keep a Cheese Journal The Cheesemonger Here's a thought: What if you never had to approach a cheese counter again with that blank stare, grasping for words in an effort to describe that one cheese you had the other day? It was what, "kinda creamy, but not too runny, and maybe with a pinkish rind, and I don't know... it was just really, really good... but I can't remember the name." Sound familiar? We've all been there. So now, consider this remedy.
Check 'Em Out! Formaggio Kitchen's Exclusive French Imports The Cheesemonger Pardou Ardi Gasna I recently had the serious pleasure of tasting some pretty special French cheese. They're the style of cheese with the oldest cheesemaking history in the world: mountain varieties from the French Pyrenees, made with raw sheep milk. And thanks to Formaggio Kitchen, you can taste them, too.
Store Review: Campbell Cheese & Grocery in Brooklyn The Cheesemonger It's rare for a specialty food shop to really blow you away—especially in Brooklyn. We're (blissfully) saturated with fine food stores here. It's not tricky to find a spot with a well-curated selection of well-crafted cheeses, cured meats, honeys, chocolate, and the like. And so when one shop stands out from the rest, it's all the more special. I did some perusing the other day at Campbell Cheese & Grocery in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. And blow me away it most certainly did. A few times over. I only wish it were located just a bit closer to my apartment.
Ideas for Grilled Sandwiches That Don't Use Cheese? Good Questions Q: A big bowl of soup is a perfectly complete meal for me, but my boyfriend needs more with his soup. I'd like to begin serving him grilled sandwiches with his soup, but all the interesting recipes I've found include cheese as the star of the sandwich. And he doesn't like cheese.
Flea Market Find: Do You Know What This Is? The Cheesemonger I went to an antique fair in Stormville, New York last weekend, and started playing around with the above object. I wasn't quite sure what it was, but when the dealer told me, it became quite clear to me just why I was so drawn to it in the first place.
5 Essentials for the Home Cook from Cowgirl Creamery Expert Essentials Making Cheese & Making Friends: A Visit With the Ladies of Cowgirl Creamery Sue Conley and Peggy Smith opened Cowgirl Creamery back in the early 1990s. Both had strong backgrounds in the Bay Area restaurant scene, with Sue at Bette's Diner and Peggy at Chez Panisse. Inspired by life in bucolic West Marin and ready for something new, they decided to open a food store in Point Reyes Station; and soon after that they developed their first cheese: the delicious, creamy, elegant triple cream named Mt. Tam after nearby Mount Tamalpias.
Cold Weather Recipe: Beer Cheese Soup Recipes from The Kitchn Beer cheese soup is a classic Midwestern recipe, but a lot of things can go wrong when making it. (Greasy blobs of cheddar, anyone?) Thankfully I discovered a little trick that will guarantee that your next batch is silky, creamy perfection. Bring on the cold weather, because this recipe will definitely keep you warm.
Know a Recipe for Norwegian Primost Cheese Spread? Good Questions Q: Several years ago, I happened upon a woman who was making lefse and primost cheese spread — do you know of anyone that still has the recipe or makes it? My mother made it with primost brown cheese that is no longer available in US. She would cut cheese into cubes and simmer it with cream, I believe. Thanks for any info you may have.
A Cook's Secret Weapon: Pecorino Pepato The Cheesemonger When it comes to cooking, it sometimes feels blasphemous to use insanely pricey cheese. Melting cheese into a dish with a handful of other ingredients doesn't exactly pay appropriate homage to the cheese itself, so why use a cheese that might be better enjoyed on its own, unadulterated by heat or other flavors? But just because you're cooking with a cheese doesn't mean that you have to use swill.

Streetscenes, Chengdu
18 Reviews
18 Reviews
The main avenues in Chengdu are wide with separate roadways for bicycles. Most of the time the roadways for bicycles were very busy. On the picture is the main avenue from our Sichuan Hotel to the Exhibition Hall.
A long this road are several shops. There are fly-overs for pedestrians.
Just behind the mainstreets in the centre you can find the back alleyways.
There are some small shops, stalls and workshops. But mainly these are the living quarters with small houses, where you can see a part of the daily life of the people at the sidewalks in front of their houses.
It is amazing, from the big city with a lot of traffic and big shops and institutions, you step within 100 M in another world of laid-back daily life, just like in a small village.
Chengdu is a city of cyclists.
Especially in the neighbourhood of the large departmentstores and shopping centres we saw large parking lots for bicycles. Hundreds, maybe thousands of biclycles at one place ! Not always easy to find your own bicycle again after shopping, I could imagine.
Along the main roads we saw a lot of huge advertisement billboards, often many storeys high, hiding the buildings behind.
Except the bikes and the huge billboards in the streets, it was very striking to see the many girls, wearing chic and lascivious dresses with thin nylon stockings without suspenders, so rolling a bit down. Mostly we saw, that the girls kept their money and toiletpaper in their stockings.
This is the traditional way of manufacturing Saw Silk which is used in clothing. The Silk Shop on Jinli Street has on display this saw silk manufacturing process. I really enjoyed viewing this display. My wife liked this shop as she said they have high quality goods for sale.
I could be wrong but I think there might be a spelling mistake on the notice (3rd photo) where 'saw' should read "raw". During our 24 days in China we occasionally noticed an incorrect spelling. What really amazed me was the number of people who could speak excellent English, usually very clear with little accent.
At the entrance to Jinli Street a large notice stating The Rules Pertaining to Civilized Tour are prominently displayed. They are good rules and when we visited it appeared they were obeyed.
This street is something special and includes a beautiful Chinese Garden.
The Walk along Jinli Street was crowded with shops and stalls either side of the street. The road is closed to vehicle traffic so no vehicle risk, however it is easy to lose partner or children in the crush to view the unusual and wonderful shops and stalls.
My photos are just a small sample of some of the shops that looked like they would photo well. It was a slow journey as all the women wanted to go inside each shop and touch the goods, in many instances having no intention of buying.
The men enjoyed themselves just watching the crowds walk by.
"The Picture tells the story". Just beautiful ! Throughout our 24 day China visit we were astonished by the beauty of their parks and gardens. Some of the gardens we visited were hundreds of years old, magnific large trees, decoration, colour and most of all Peaceful and Relaxing.
Jinli Street was a delight to visit, there was something for everyone ranging from historical silk production to cheap handbags, traditional food and a magnificent Chinese Garden with ponds.
We just loved our leisurely walk through the crowded street, my wife loved it as there was so much she wanted to buy and she was successful on several items. I enjoyed lunch and the beautiful Chinese Garden, not to be missed.
Jinli Street is a quaint "loop" street that has tea houses, bars, souvenir shops, artist stalls and food vendors.
The best time to visit this street is in the early evening around dinner time when the street really comes alive, and visit Wuhou Temple.
We went fairly late and had trouble getting fed - most restaurants ran out of most of their food items : (
I love seeing how people live in their own country and the Chinese are masters of TaiChi but not the kind of TaiChi we are used to in Western Countries - they use fans and all sorts of props - it's almost a dance so graceful and elegant and not just the young ones either - so many elderley people practice this amazing form of exercise. Beautiful.
The Chunxi Road area in Chengdu is famous for shopping, especially for branded and modern goods. A lot of people, especially the yound and trendy, hang out in this area during the weekends.
It is relatively safe to explore the city, so go out and experience it. The only part which you have to be more careful is the northern part near the railway station.
hang out in Chengdu street, these sence was the little river near Qingyang Daoist tample. Nice, isn't it?
As in other cities in China, the bicycle is still a very popular and simple mode of transportation in Chengdu. However with modernisation, more people are buying cars and taking cabs.

JUNIOR Brown has welcomed Oxford United's packed fixture schedule as he edges closer towards reaching match fitness.
The 25-year-old had not played a minute of football in pre-season before he signed for the U's last month.
He is still getting up to speed, but United's progress in the Capital One Cup means they have Tuesday night games in each of the first four weeks of the season.
While the heavy load may not be ideal for everyone, it has been useful for Brown – who has started all four games so far.
"It's coming back to me," he said.
"Without playing games you're never really going to be 100 per cent fit, but I'm feeling good.
"It's nearly there, you top it up every day, but this run of games in quick succession, although it's not wanted by many, has probably been a little bit of a blessing in disguise for me to really help me push on with my fitness."
United's next midweek game is at West Brom on Tuesday night.
