    Hello! I took Chinese tourist ship from Chongqing, where two great rivers meet, the Jiang and Yangtze. It stopped at Ghost City and other stops, even canoe races! And walking the River. All other Chinese took a bus back! I did not know this and bought round trip boat tickets! Well I changed boats for coming back and had no toilet seat or water in my room, just hole in floor. No blankets , and no tourist stops. Working people, many many with animals etc. Many were sick and drunk and smoking a lot. When I returned to Chongqing, I went to 4 star Hotel, had a hot shower and slept. It was still a great experience. My first ship only had cold water and 1 blanket. No heat but big window and a store to buy things and a good restaurant for cheap! Thanks for looking, Oh had a strange experience with a woman, haha! That is also why traveling is special! Thanks for looking!! Also many cities were flooded when dam was completed! toracat Ship was cheap, but saw bigger fancy ones for Amer., European, Aussie, Can., etc. tourist, but who wants to meet them! haha don Oh saw monkeys walking river!

      See my blue jacket! Well during New Years, about 6-7 10-12 yr. old girls gave me a 3ft. sparkler and they danced around me and caught my jacket on fire! Wow that was funny but scary! haha

      China is insane, interesting, and crazy! I had no guides except on Chinese tourist boat, they told us what to do when we stopped, I just followed other people as I did not understand what they were saying.!

      Yes, I went twice on just 30 day visa each time, both to Chongqing area! I want to go back, but now I must work on fixing my legs, as they do not work so well! But I visited as a traveler 35 countries and spent maybe 15 years doing this! So I am happy I did not wait until older to travel! My first trip to China I was 60! On New Years some girls set me on fire! and I had to drop and roll! haha They were 5-6 about 10-12 yrs. old! They gave me and had 3ft. sparklers and danced around me and jacket caught fire! and burned my hand!!
