A haphazard chronicle of my inevitable misadventures during a year in Vietnam and points east.

p.s. I'll be pitifully grateful if you send me email during my exile: TravelerKaty@hotmail.com

Chongqing, China

I'm off tonight on a boat trip down the Yangtze, to see the Three Gorges before they're flooded by the giant dam (starting next month!). After that I'm going straight to the Zhang Jia Jie national park (billed on the poster as "Fantsatic Mounpains and Water"), so it may be a few days before I update here.

Some fellow travelers I spoke to in Dali took 4th class berths on their Three Gorges tour and said there were 20 beds with 60 people sharing an alarmingly small room -- I'm thinking I wouldn't like three to a bed or sleeping in shifts. Therefore, I splurged and went with 3rd class. Don't ever say I'm cheap.
