Hello from China!

I am currently in China, Hunan province, at Zhangjiajie National Park.
Got here on a bullet train going over 200km/hr
I have been reading about you guy's exploits on the 'net when I can.
Interesting that I can post text but not photos, but that may be due to our remote location and limited internet access.
The park we are visiting is well-known as the inspiration of the landscapes for the movie Avatar. 800 meter tall sandstone pillars formed by physical weathering seem to float in the sky due to the ever-present clouds and fog.
Waterfalls and caves, glass bridges and cable cars. Lots of people, from all over the world. I even met people who work for the UN at breakfast.
Tomorrow we will return for more sightseeing and picture taking. We have a local guide and the word VIP gets used when we visit. Nice to be able to get in the short line, ahead of the teeming hordes.
I will not get to ride here, and I don't think the mtb scene is large here. Later on I will be riding when I get to my bike in Lanzhou, Gansu province.
Miss riding in the San Gabes but keep posting pics and stories and turning the cranks.
Feel free to post questions as I have been speaking so much Chinese I might forget English if I don't use it!
Hope to be able to post pics when I get a better connection.
Later...

 

The sentence structure seems strange. I suspect we are being spammed
Go away Chinese spammer

P.s. Post pictures when you can

 

Hi from not China!

Enjoy your stay.

 

I smell a skunk in this thread.

 

@rossage ...
DOES THIS MEAN WE HAVE TO TALK... REALLY LOUD AND REALLY SLOW... THAT YOU CAN UNDERSTAND ENGLISH BETTER?

 

@rossage.. you speak Chinese? man of mystery...

 

This must be coming through on one of those hackable Huawei phones.

 

Have fun and can't wait for the pictures!

Dont know if you're in the same region but no visit to the light bicycle carbon factory?

 

Check the IP, Mikie! I bet it ain't from around here. This dude is going to try and sell us something in the next post- guaranteed. Good thing the forum is acting wonky again, or he'd be sending pictures of his wares already... Probably Speciarized knock offs. Cheap frame- Better than original!

 

Sum Tin Wong?

@rossage , take it easy on the baijiu over there.

 

Find out if their really is such a thing as a poopoo platter? "I had nothing".

 

Enjoy your vacation in China, Ross!

Ní hăo ma!

 

Im sure that he knows the important phrases:

“Where’s the bar?”
“Where can I make a score?”
“Where is the rest room?”
“Where is the massage parlor?”

 

Come find me...

 

This is my mother-in-law's tactic! If she says something I don't understand, she will repeat the exact same thing but at a thunderous volume - as if that will break through my thick skull!

 

I'm getting pretty good after 13 years of marriage...

 

I do use an unhackable Huawei P-10 Pro.
The US says Huawei is a State player... Maybe, I don't know.
My Chinese friends say the US dislikes Huawei because they won't build a back-door for them to access.
Best phone I ever had.

 

When I get back to Shenzhen, I will be near some carbon and bike part manufacturers.
Check out Shenzhen I must on Taobao.
I will be looking for carbon bars, rims and ...?

 

I did see a "Giunt" yesterday. Total rip-off of Giant of course. No time for a pic but I'm looking for Speciarized!

 

One hung low...

 

Sweet!!! I'm getting Asian singles ads now!!! Thanks @rossage !!! Have a great trip!!!

 

Lmao!!! Smh..

 

Pu Pu platters are American-Chinese like the stuff at Panda Express.
Hunan province is famous for their spicy cuisine. They have amazing la rou which is smoked pork served in a stir fry with veggies....

 

Ni Hao Albert! Ni che le ma? Doi che yi dian!

I was looking in the Yellow Dragon cave yesterday. Didn't see you. Must have been behind a stalagmite!

 

Yo bro! That's coming from your searches!

 

"would you like to see my van"
