Crazimalz came out with their EP and soon to be selling is here in Alivenotdead. Check out the video, hope you like it!

I came across this Japanese band over a year ago and really like their songs. I decided my profile needed a little music, and chose their song 'Sayonara'. If you get a chance, check out the youtube video.

So last time I updated my blog I was in Chongqing about to go down the Yangzi river. That was around July 10th. Here is a bit of an update since then.

Well, I hitched a ride on a river boat. (sounds like an old CCR song, eh?)

Went down the Chocolate Milk River (aka. Yangzi, aka. Yangtze, aka. Changjiang)

Visited some cities along the river

Saw the Three Gorges Damn

Then I went to Wuhan, Nanjing, then Sanya on Hainan Island. Stay tuned till I get more free time and can update again!

Anyone ever seen "Zhou Yu's Train" with Gong Li or "Crazy Stone"? Anyways, the cable car in those movies is in Chongqing. I went there last night cause I really love the movie "Crazy Stone"

If anyone has seen "Crazy Stone" then you probably remember the part where he throws a coke can out the window. I wanted to do it, but forgot to buy the coke, hehe! The cable car goes over the Yangzi river and has a great view. Its also really cheap cause its made for transportation rather than tourism; its only 4 RMB round trip.

Tonight I'm gonna hop a river boat down the Yangzi and pass through the Three Gorges. The Three Gorges Dam is the largest hydro-electric power plant in the world. There are a few stops on the way, so should be a lot of fun. End of the line will be Yichang, Hubei province.

Actually, I can't remember if it was Yellow mountain or Guilin, but one of them is the most painted scenery in China's history. It's a really cool place with lots of walking and mountains and rocks.

"Lotus Peak", highest point on Yellow Mountain

Its also pretty expensive, something like 400 RMB. Also, it is pretty dangerous in some areas. I really like climbing on things, so I climbed to a few places your probably not supposed to go making it extra dangerous. Also, if you ever go, bring your own water. Its like 2 RMB at the bottom, and 10 RMB at the top. The scenery is really great, and its a whole day trip, so get there early and be prepared to walk a LOT.
