Porpor's adventure : Chengdu to Chongqing

A bit of background, porpor is hitting interior china in search of material that my granddad has done, hopefully the libraries will yield a few books, ie we have about 15 of the known 35 items he has done... when the boys are older we may do this trip as well, starting with the origin of the journey from shanghai inland. Porpor flew from KL straight inland with 3 other adventurous and courageous friends! ready for local adventure... bubby take note of food, we will go someday!

"Got into Chongqing from Chengdu by train. Interesting ride through many, many tunnels. The railway station just open late 2007, very impressive!

Met a young man of 20 yrs old from farm area. He started working 3 years ago for less than a hundred yuan (US$15), but now drawing 3K (US$ 500) a month in a spare part manufacturing factory. Good for him. China has opportunities for people with not much education. China has good future!"
