Summary: We went on a scenic motorboat trip up one of the tributaries of the Yangtze – either among the “little gorges” of the Daning River or the forests and cliffs of Shennong Stream.  Along the way, view local farms and people who work along the river.  Afterwards, cruise between the twelve mist-shrouded peaks of dramatic Wu George and beneath the over-handing cliffs of Qutang Gorge.

We enjoyed our final day of river crusing, with a stop at a small Yangtze River town where we can strolled and visited with the locals

Deaf Guy Battles with Bouncers

Posted by fookembug on August 18, 2008

By Bug

“Who does that guy think he is, Matt Hamill? He’s totally out of control”, my Hearing friend Maximilian asked. There’s a lot of shouting in the background, and most of the people talking are British, with heavy accents, so that’s why they speak a little differently.  Maximilian wrote out a seconds count, then added what was said, by whom, when it was said. The main bouncer my friend labeled just “bouncer.” If there’s someone talking that was added after editing from the studio, he labeled it a “voiceover.” The commentator is also a “voiceover.” Maximilian thinks the commentator says the bouncer’s name is “Bungy” Must be some sort of nickname. We thank Maximilian that he was willing to interpret everything what this video said. Read below:
1 Bouncer: And uh, here we go, should come out about now.

Summary: We explored the Bund, a sweep of grand European-style architecture on the riverfront, most of it built in the early 20th century. We visited the 400-year-old Yu Yun Garden, an oasis of classical design, and toured Old Shanghai.

We toured the massive Three Gorges Dam project, then cruise upstream throught the dam’s locks into the Three Gorges themselves beginning with Xiling Gorge.

We watched Victorian Anna Fashion Show. Their crews models a variety of Chinese traditional costumes, from various regions and eras of China.
