Summer holidays - off to Chengdu, Sichuan Province


After a delayed flight of about 2 hours, we finally arrived in Chengdu and took the airport shuttle bus close to where our hostel was located. Our room at the hostel was very simple with a shared bathroom, but at least it had air conditioning and the staff were really friendly. It was evening so we made out way to the Tibetan District and had dinner at a small Tibetan restaurant. Thyson ate yak meat with potatoes and I had potato dumplings – really delicious! The restaurant staff didn’t speak any English and we were quickly realizing that Sichuan Chinese is very different to the Beijing Chinese that we have been learning – we couldn’t understand much at all!
