At this moment, i nearly can’t remember the thing happened last year of my trip to Tibet. However, i will try to provide the necessary information.
As most foreigners may aware, the foreigner need to get the Tibet entrance permits to get into Tibet. So first you have to choose a in-country agent to help deal with this thing. Here i would like to update news that the foreigners may not need to apply the Tibet entrance permits if they don’t visit any scenery spot in Tibet. This feedback was from my guide last year in a self-driving tour group. He said there were 3 foreigners drove the bike from Lhasa to Zhangmu and they take trains from Chengdu to Lhasa. I doubt their words, however, the things is very complex at this moment. I’m not sure if the foreigner can get into Tibet without permits. So far as I know, even the chinese, we need to show our ID card with the train tickets together before getting on the train, and also, the train station staff will take the picture of both the ID card as well as the train tickets.
So Let’s back to the railway journey on the train. From Chengdu to Tibet,it can be divided into two parts,Sichuan to Shanxi ( none Tibet section) Xining-Lhasa (Tibet area section). I find out some information on the wiki Qingzang railway. This railway is known as the highest altitude railway on earth.
some pictures on the rail way.

In my schedule, i should write the Sichuan-Tibet tour this year, however, there are too many pictures drive me dizzy. So here I would like to share my Phuket Island tour first.
The departure date is 11th.11 which is the “single person day” in China, and I go with my 3 friends, total 4 people head to Thailand Phuket island.
We chose the 6 day 5 night package tour and all our journey was companied by a local Chinese speaking guide.
The first day is to visit the Phang Nga. Of course, the most famous is the “007″ island, there is a stone like a “cabbage” and there are a special kind of fish “mudskipper” as well as “cartoon crab” with colorful pincers waving to you.
We have lunch at the Sea Muslim Village. and then back to Phuket island. When we went to Siam Safari and the staff there are very kind, they help us to take photos. At this time, i have to say, 20B as the service fee is really not a big deal and the staff will take pictures when you are on the elephant. You can choose to keep the picture or not. Most people feel very unhappy because they feel they were pushing to buy their photos which they didn’t suppose to take.
And later we require the guide Phi Yang took us to buy the fruit, wa~~~really nice fruit and the price is also very nice and we feel shame to bargain. Nuts factory has many kinds of nuts, one of my favorite is wasabi taste.
I have to say that, the ice cream is very cheap in Thailand. it make me feel i wast lots of money to buy the Haggen-Daz and DQ in China. However, i’m really not so that into the ice cream, so just have one taste. Not bad.
I prefer the fish ball with Vermicelli, this is a special local delicacies. Well, i feel hungry now~ please enjoy the pics of Day o1.

It’s hard to write something,especially using another language. I admit that I’m not interest in writing english articles. everyday, my work is about English and I need to reply all the questions from my clients.
It’s necessary for me to study everyday. some guests want to hunt wild ducks, yes, then i need to study the hunt area and also the kind of duck.Some guests want to go a remote place, and then i need to find out details about that area. It seems helps me a lot, well, on this point, i do real benefit from this work style, that is keep on learning.
Some guests told me that in big cities, people are not interest in foreigners, so they are seldom experience the “surprise ” faces from the local people. China is not like 10 years ago, and i think this kind of fast speed will accelerate the dead of our lovely earth. Since the information spread so fast without barrier, I feel myself more like a dust on earth.
Early days, I saw a movie “ 500 days of summer’” inside, there is a very cute words ” I love us” . The more I think about this words, the more fun i got. People say ” I love u” and when it apply “s” after “U”. It become “us”.
Ps: Travel log in Thailand are too many pictures and too many interesting things. How lazy I am~~i will try to update it soon.
PPs: George, i have received your post card from Jiuzhaigou, very nice of you!!
PPPS: My winter teams have run successfully and now back to Australia , Tiger leaping gorge is a famous place , most foreigners like it, but for me , i don’t think it’s a good place to travel. I will update the interesting story of our team next week.

It’s an intersesting proejct that i see from the douban ” I want to bring you back to my childhood”.
I think show the pictures of the childhood is a very romantic thing between lovers. Yes, besides that you have done the “face changing”. When we look back of our past pictures, it seems to watch another person’s life.
I was not so cute in my childhood,while my mother is still a beauty. She wants me have thick hair and long eyelashes, so she scissor my eyelahses with her quiver hands after when i come to the world just one month. And also shaved all the satiny hair on my head. Well, i can understand a mother’s strong willing of having a angel baby. But the results is i was bald until 2 years’ old. My mother was very ancious that i will be bald forever.
And i have experience a lot in my childhood and i was so eager to take with somone. As time gose by, i seems forget a lot, forget the words and something important. Hu~~~how time flys!
Matrxi don’t like to look back and he seems lives in the upcoming century and what he is doing now is to try his best back to future. George is very hard to say at this moment, I believe he enjoy the best time in his life(that means now or in future). So it seems i’m the most stupid guy who still wondering in my memory and want to bring my lover to my childhood.
It doens’t mean that i live a very bad life now, some people said i was live a very suitabel life and can go many places to travel. However, i still miss my childhood, it might not very speical, but i do want to share it with my lovers. I want to cover the shame when i was still a little girl and faced those days on my own.

In 20th June 2007 , there open a flight from Beijing to Mohe（Northern Villages In China）. It’s my birthday on that day and i make a wish that i will go to that place one day and experience the polar night.
These day, my colleague told me that she already has a baby and can’t go anywhere else these months. It do make me thinking a lot as a woman but not a mother. When we are still a child, we dream about where we can go and wondering in that fantastic world. I was so enjoy the ten minutes before everydays sleeping, because i can imagine lots of things : fall in love with the guy i like, became a mermaid when swimming in the sea, flying in the blue sky with my own wing.etc. It sounds like day dream, but i do enjoy it.
When i grows up, i have a nice job which can make me travel a lot. And now, i’m dreaming about going to Mohe, the Northern village in China during one of my birthday time. It doesn’t matter go there on my own, a soul journey can only be tastes by oneself. It make me feel younger just like the first time i read the fairy tale.
Nowadays, we can easily get some where we want to go, with the flight and other transportation vehicle, but we can also find some excuse not to go that places. Is that because we become lazy or lose passion? I know people choose somewhere to go must have a reason, and my reason can only be found in the destination.

The first test sentence i will left here would be “open your minds to see more” !
Many thanks to Matrix for showing this world to me!
Open 3p BLOG ‘s idea comes from Matrix. I know it the name may sounds a little exotic because of “3p”. However, in ancient China Confucius said ” Among three people, one can learn a lot from the ther two” . I know taht i can’t explained the sentence very exactly at this moment and i hope i can make it better in the future,
Open doors, open minds!
Sometimes we close our heart to others, the others can be your parents, your friends, your lovers. It may seems very hard to open at some moment, however, when you decide to open that, you will see more you haven’t see before.
