May 13, 2014Super Time Force is a satisfying run-and-gun game made even better with a fun (and funny!) take on time travel. It's as enjoyable to play as it is to look at. You'll likely be able to burn through the game in a few hours if you're not going for full completion, but it has such a winning personality that you'll find yourself coming back for more.
Jul 7, 2014Any way it's sliced, Super TIME Force is an excellent effort from an excellent developer, and a bullet-rich, chuckle-worthy feather in Capy's cap. Well done.
May 20, 2014Its novel use of mechanics, its comic writing, and its retro aesthetics make Super Time Force a sure bet for those in search of light entertainment.
May 13, 2014Probably the dumbest smart shooter I've ever played. The face it wears is the goofy nostalgist that can't be serious for even a moment, sure. But Capy's implentation of time travel and control is inspired enough to shine new light on even its most tired-but-excellently-executed inspirations.
May 19, 2014Super Time Force is constantly chaotic, extremely amusing and at times an elegant time traveling game. Its concept doesn't fully live up to its potential, yet Super Time Force knows how to entertain with a cool style, lots of silly jokes and absurd characters.
May 19, 2014As a brand new run-and-gun game it's a simple one, but add the time manipulation mechanics and it becomes an incredibly refreshing take on an age-old genre. Awesome, dumb fun with a very clever twist.
May 22, 2014Super Time Force reminds us of side-scrolling shooters from the past, but don't let this fool you: it is a completely unique game on itself. Its combination of shooting and tactical thinking can be quite frustrating at times, but it's entertaining enough to keep you playing for hours. Just don't forget the time.
May 21, 2014In Super Time Force, the failures live on, but not as condemnations of my lack of skill. My sloppiness as a player is not useless. Seeing them all hopping around on the screen simultaneously, I realize: there can be grace in failure.
May 13, 2014It's hard not to feel that the game would have been better served by slightly slowing down the pace of its basic shooting elements. At times, it feels as much like a spatial puzzle as it does a test of your reflexes. The best spatial puzzles, though, allow for a measure of patience and consideration. As a twitchy shooter, Super Time Force never lets you catch your breath and stand firm in time, leaving you under ceaseless pressure.

Jul 31, 2014Super Time Force is an old fashioned side scrolling 2D shooter with a clever twist, time travel!
The player is only given around 60 secondsSuper Time Force is an old fashioned side scrolling 2D shooter with a clever twist, time travel!
The player is only given around 60 seconds to complete each level but at any point during a stage the player can rewind time, choose another (or the same) character, and then fight alongside your previous run through the level. The shooting mechanics themselves could only be described as competent but thanks to this unique concept, which is put to good use by the way levels are designed, Super Time Force makes for a great little title.
This is exactly what Xbox Arcade games should be, four to five hours of originality.… Full Review »

Yellow, the Colour of Happiness?
Oscar Wilde walked into Eugene Whistler's dining room, took in the yellow walls, and exclaimed, "This is the colour of happiness." Many of the most vibrant people I know live surrounded by seriously bold yellow, the sunshine maker, the energizer, the intellectual stimulant.
Elena, who describes herself as passionate, a risk taker, curious, and engaged with her surroundings, grew up in Venezuela, two degrees of latitude above the equator. When she moved into her home in Toronto, yellow walls were an antidote to the greyness of the north. She tried white but without the strong light of the south it always looked grey. Yellow was not a choice but an imperative. "What I wanted was pure yellow, the real hue and not a shade of it." That was sixteen years ago. She is about to paint again, and she says she will be using exactly the same yellow. Often yellow is avoided because it is not flattering to the skin. Yellow clothing gives a jaundiced appearance to light or midtone skin. Elena's response to this is "Oh, I couldn't wear it if my life depended on it! It makes me look like a sick dog." But nor can she live without it. Over the years its domain has expanded from the living room and dining room to the halls, the kitchen, and more recently her bedroom.
Yellow is more joyful than mysterious. It is the colour of optimism and confidence, warmth and abundance, high self-esteem and an entrepreneurial spirit; the colour of honey, spring flowers and autumn fields and Kodak holiday moments. It is rarely chosen as a favourite colour. Maybe its inyourface visibility is too pushy for nonextroverts.
Ochre and sienna, abundant earth pigments, were used in cave paintings in Arnhem Land, North Australia, about fifty thousand years ago. In Egyptian hieroglyphs, men's flesh is painted red but women are distinguished by yellowcoloured skin.
In the Roman Empire, saffron was a colour that only the wealthy could afford to wear. It made a strong and lasting dye but pollen from the stamens of over ten thousand purple crocuses were needed to make one pound. In China, yellow was associated with fire and power and wearing saffron robes was the exclusive right of the emperor. Tibetan monks, conversely, wear yellow robes as a sign of lowliness and humility. However, their robes were dyed with turmeric, a plentiful earth pigment. In India, turmeric yellow is the colour of Krishna and love and fertility, the marriage colour. Vietnamese used turmeric as a bronzing cosmetic to give their skin an amber glow. Turmeric was affordable but faded fast so it made a better dye than a paint pigment. Turmericdyed garments could be put through regular colour baths, like a rinse cycle, to replenish the yellow. In India, pomegranate skin made the colour more permanent. Sometimes decorative patterns in turmeric were painted on cloth for a specific occasion and then washed off.
Many of nature's yellow pigments are highly toxic. Artists found orpiment was hard to use because its gold tones blackened when it came in contact with many other pigments and it had a high arsenic content. Naples yellow, which was used by artists since Greek and Roman times and was the pigment Reubens used to add a healthy glow to flesh tones, became a banned substance in the nineteenth century because it is a toxic mix of lead and antimony oxide. Gamboge, a pigment made from resin that takes a year to ooze out of the tall Garcinia trees of Cambodia, was also a powerful diuretic.
In medieval times, yellow fell from grace in the West. Yellow, the colour of bile, jaundiced skin, and sulphur, was the Devil's colour. At a time when a colour's merits were determined by its price, gold held all of yellow's positive attributes as the colour of the sun, divine light, glory and goodness, and inexpensive earth yellows were considered to be like a dirty or tarnished white. Yellow clothing signified traitors, sinners, and nonChristians. In Christian paintings, Judas, the traitor, was given a yellow robe. In parts of Italy, Jews and Muslims were forced to wear something yellow, a hat or a patch. By the thirteenth century, yellow was also the signature colour imposed on assassins, heretics, and fallen women. Put with green, it was a sign of madness. Its only value was as a dye bath for cloth that had already been dyed blue to turn it green. Yellow with black, one of the most visible combinations, signifies a safety hazard. In nature it warns of the wasp's sting. The Renaissance restored yellow's value because in realistic art, yellow painted the look of gold more realistically than gold itself.
Yellow interiors were popular in ancient Greece and the Roman Empire until red took over as the favourite interior colour. Egyptians painted orpiment over burial chambers and sarcophogi because yellow was the colour of divine light. In the eighteen century, it was a fashionable wallpaper colour. By the nineteenth century, neoclassical decorating schemes liked yellow's way of enhancing the sense of sunlight. And it has been a popular wall colour for the same reason ever since.
The exterior of Van Gogh's little house in Arles was painted bright yellow.
One side of my main hall is yellow with a touch of green and a bit of dirtiness to it. It is as close as I have come to one I fixated on in a sculpture by Anthony Caro in the retrospective at London's National Gallery, one that was also used in 1940s advertising signage. I find most people prefer buttery yellows to these slightly bilious hues but to me their slight offness gives a magic twist to any palette, that touch of the ugly that makes beautiful things more beautiful.
Yellow walls are not good for everyone. They are a happy thing only if we are happy and can be very irritating if we are not. An art gallery in England that toured schoolchildren from disadvantaged neighbourhoods found that more vandalism occurred in the yellow rooms than in those of any other colour. To those suffering from depression, yellow can seem as unsympathetic and offputting as someone who stays chipper and cheerful when we are in a bad mood.
Yellow is an intellectual stimulant. It should probably be used more often in boardrooms and classrooms and less often as a bedroom colour for hyperactive children.
Pretty yellow paint chips when expanded to a wall colour let out a surprising volume of energy. The kick is often reduced to tolerable levels when all the furnishings are put back into place and the art is rehung. But it can take time for the eyes to adjust to the intensity of the brightness and the body, to its energy.

DEFINITION of 'Yield Equivalence'
The interest rate on a taxable security that would render a return equivalent to that of a tax-exempt security, and vice versa, calculated as follows:
BREAKING DOWN 'Yield Equivalence'
In order to calculate yield equivalence, divide the tax-exempt yield by 1 minus the investor's tax rate. For example, say you were considering a 6% tax-exempt municipal bond, but you would like to calculate what the interest rate on a taxable investment would have to be to give you the same return. If you have a 20% rate of taxation, you would need a return of 7.5% on your taxable investment to match the 6% return on the tax-exempt investment (6%/(1-0.20)=7.5%).
Conversely, if you know your taxable rate of return, you can calculate the equivalent rate on a tax-exempt investment. This is done by multiplying the taxable rate by 1 minus your tax rate. If your taxable return is 6% and your rate of taxation is 20%, you need a 4.8% return on a tax-exempt security to match the after-tax return on a taxable security (6%*(1-0.20)=4.8%).

I was questionable as to whether or not these were really reversible but down to the stitching, they really are!

Piper Jaffray Companies (NYSE:PJC)
Q4 2013 Earnings Call
January 29, 2014 9:00 am ET
Andrew S. Duff - Chairman and Chief Executive Officer
Debbra L. Schoneman - Chief Financial Officer, Principal Accounting Officer and Managing Director
Andrew S. Duff
Good morning, ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to the Piper Jaffray Companies Conference Call. Before we begin -- this is Andrew Duff. Before we begin, our review of 2013 results, as you can see, we've incorporated certain non-GAAP elements in presenting our results. Our objective in enhancing our reporting is to provide you with more clarity on the performance of our business by excluding items, such as noncontrolling interest from our consolidated investment funds in certain acquisition-related costs. Deb will provide more details on this, as well as our financial results.
Turning to our year. We had a very strong finish to 2013, with nearly all of our businesses up sequentially and year-over-year in the fourth quarter to deliver our best quarterly revenue since we went public in 2004. In general, we saw momentum build in our equities-related activities as the year progressed. The strong finish in our fixed income activities partially overcame challenging conditions we experienced in midyear. Our diverse mix of businesses combined to produce improved results over 2012 in all key metrics, including revenues, net income and most importantly, return on equity. For the year, we generated an ROE of 6.2%, an improvement over last year's 5.7% and a substantial improvement over 2011's ROE of 2.3%
The comparison versus 2011 is important since it marked a key inflection point for us. In the midst of serious market dislocations in 2011, we embarked on a series of strategic steps with the overall objectives of producing meaningful improvements to our ROE over the near to mid-term and generating solid profits in any market environment.
Also, we believe that as we executed successfully on our strategy, we would strengthen our position as an attractive platform for professionals and firms. We continued our substantial progress in achieving these objectives in 2013.
In addition to the improvement in ROE, we generated solid results during the periods of serious market dislocations mid-year in our key markets, and 2 firms and several significant groups elected to join us during this year.
This progress was attributed to strong execution on our key objectives. First, delivering the benefits of diversification in our business model. Early in the year, anticipating weakening fixed income markets and strengthening equities, we reduced our exposure to fixed income and deployed capital into our equities and asset management businesses. These businesses, together with our equity capital raising business, contributed meaningfully to our strong results.
Second, focusing our resources in our strongest and highest-margin businesses. The areas of specific focus were public finance, asset management and advisory services. The acquisition of Seattle-Northwest was an important step in building out our national footprint in public finance in the acquisition of Edgeview, plus the addition of an investment banking team from Partnership Capital Growth expanded our M&A resources.
Lastly, judicious deployment of firm capital into areas where we have a differentiated expertise and market opportunities. We rebalanced our investment profile by reducing our exposure to fixed income while increasing our exposure to equity markets, as we saw performance in these markets shift during the year. In addition, other areas where we benefited from the strength of our execution included risk management that enabled us to navigate difficult markets, discipline in hiring and strong performance by our corporate support services team that enabled us to close our acquisitions on time, realizing expected cost synergies and smoothly integrate operations.
Now I will spend a few moments highlighting the performance of our business in 2013. In public finance, we continued to gain market share. While industry volumes were down more than 15% for the year, our business was close to even with 2012.
Our product diversity and industry sector strengthened, helped overcome weak refunding activity in the second half of the year. We feel these advantages will help us weather what we expect will be challenging markets in 2014 and will position us as an attractive home for professionals or firms seeking more stability. Our performance in fixed income brokerage was satisfactory, in light of the serious market dislocations in mid-year. We expanded our middle market sales force by about 30% in 2013 with the addition of 2 major teams and select hiring, and we added to agency mortgage product capabilities.
We are positioned for gradually rising rate environment in 2014 and should benefit from seasoning of the 2013 additions to our platform.
Switching to our businesses that participated in the equity markets. Market gains of 30% for the year provided robust conditions for equity capital raising, trading and investing activities. For the first time since 2007, revenue from equity capital raising exceeded $100 million for the year. Our health care team, bolstered by our added resources in biotech, led the way with solid contributions from our consumer and TMT teams. Notably, we served as book runner on about half of our transactions for the year, which has been a focus for us within our capital raising businesses.
Our M&A business finished the year on a high note as we recovered from dormant markets through mid-year. We experienced increasing demand through the second half of the year and feel good about our prospects as we head into 2014.
In our equity brokerage area, we continue to make steady, consistent progress. The business improved sequentially each quarter this year. Our great accomplishment, given the market-wide trading volumes [ph], were slightly down for the year. Our momentum in this business has come from a set of client-focused product strategies, which we began implementing in 2012 and more effective deployment of capital in the business. Capital was used more efficiently in our trading desk, and we also allocated some capitals to strategic trading activities in equities as we saw the opportunity to generate investment returns emerge early in the year.
Our asset management business clearly benefited from robust markets. We finished the year with $11.2 billion in assets under management, up from $9.1 billion in 2012. Gains were driven by substantial market appreciation as net new assets were essentially flat.
We also completed an important leadership transition in 2013, with Chris Crawshaw assuming the role of CEO and Head of Asset Management effective January 1. We would like to thank Brien O'Brien for his many years of leadership.
Looking ahead to 2014, we entered the year with cautious optimism. We expect gradual improvement and growth in the U.S. economy, some additional appreciation in equity markets, but at a more modest level than this year, and gradually increasing interest rates. We believe that interest rate environment has factored in tapering by the Fed, with rates moving in response to the rate of economic growth from here. We feel these markets will be mostly accommodating for our business.
Now I'd like to turn the call over to Deb to review the financial results in more detail.
Debbra L. Schoneman
In the fourth quarter of 2013, continuing operations generated record net revenues on a GAAP basis of $187.6 million, an increase of 46% on a sequential basis.
Net income for the quarter was $28 million or $1.75 per diluted common share, and our pretax operating margin was 22.4%. Our fourth quarter results include a $4 million or $0.25 per diluted common share tax benefit resulting from the reversal of our U.K. subsidiary's deferred tax asset valuation allowance.
For the full year, our net revenues were $525.2 million, and net income from continuing operations was $49.8 million or $2.98 per diluted common share. Pretax operating margin of 14.4% was consistent with 2012.
Beginning this quarter, we updated our presentation of segment net revenues to increase transparency and better reflect the types of revenues earned by our capital market segment. Management and performance fees generated from our municipal Securities and merchant banking funds, previously reported as other income, are now presented as a separate line entitled Management and Performance Fees. Gains and losses related to our investments in these funds are included within investment income.
In addition, amounts previously presented as other income or loss have now been broken out into more descriptive separate lines. Investment income or loss reflects gains and losses from our merchant banking and firm investments. Long-term financing expenses represent the interest expense on our variable-rate senior notes. In addition to our GAAP results, we have represented non-GAAP financial measures to provide a more meaningful basis for comparison of our core operating results. The non-GAAP measures exclude revenues and expenses related to noncontrolling interests, amortization of intangible assets related to acquisitions, compensation for acquisition-related agreements and restructuring and acquisition integration costs. The remainder of my remarks will be based on these non-GAAP financial measures.
In the fourth quarter of 2013, continuing operations generated adjusted net revenues of $182.6 million, adjusted net income of $30.5 million or $1.91 per diluted common share. And our adjusted pretax operating margin was 23.1%.
For the fourth quarter of 2013, adjusted compensation and benefits expenses were 60.6% of net revenues, compared to 61.9% and 62.7% in the fourth quarter of 2012 and third quarter of 2013, respectively. The compensation ratio was lower compared to both periods due to an increased revenue base.
We expect compensation and benefits expenses as a percentage of net revenues to be approximately 60% to 62% a quarter in subsequent periods. For the full year, our compensation ratio was 61.9%, compared to 61% in 2012. The higher compensation ratio in 2013 was primarily attributable to changes in our mix of business as we recorded significantly higher fixed income strategic trading revenues in 2012, which have a lower compensation payout.
Adjusted noncompensation expenses were $29.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2013, compared to $28.5 million in the year ago period and $29.1 million in the third quarter of 2013. Going forward, we anticipate quarterly noncompensation expenses of $30 million to $32 million. On a full year basis, adjusted noncompensation expenses were $111 million, consistent with 2012.
On a non-GAAP basis, our effective tax rate from continuing operations was 27.7% for the fourth quarter of 2013. Our reduced tax rate for the quarter was primarily due to the tax benefit from the full reversal of our U.K. subsidiaries deferred tax asset valuation allowance previously discussed.
On a full year basis, our effective tax rate on a non-GAAP basis for 2013 was 30.6%, consistent with 30.7% in 2012. Our effective tax rate was lower in 2013 and 2012 due to onetime tax credits in both years. Going forward, we expect our effective tax rate to be 34% to 37%.
Now I will turn to the segment results. For the fourth quarter, capital markets generated adjusted net revenues of $155 million, adjusted pretax operating income of $31.1 million and an adjusted pretax operating margin of 20.1%. Net revenues increased 25% compared to the fourth quarter of 2012 due primarily to higher equity financing and equity institutional brokerage revenues.
The strong equity market, up approximately 30% from the end of 2012, produced an active capital raising environment at the end of 2013. This resulted in more completed transactions and higher revenues per transaction in our equity financing business, especially in the health care sector. Equity institutional brokerage revenues also benefited from the robust equity market through improve trading performance, as well as higher gains from our equity strategic trading activities, which we began in the second half of 2013 to leverage the firm's intellectual capital and diversify our strategic trading efforts. Our fixed income institutional brokerage revenues also improved in the fourth quarter of 2013 as strong municipal issuance and commerce secondary markets resulted in a more favorable trading environment.
Our fourth quarter net revenues also benefited from gains on our merchant banking investments. Merchant banking investments made before 2010 are accounted for on a cost basis, which can result in significant realized gains in the period of a liquidity event for these investments. The increased net revenues for the current quarter were partially offset by a decrease in M&A activities.
In the fourth quarter of 2012, sellers were motivated to complete transactions prior to year end due to pending tax increases. This catalyst did not exist in the current quarter, resulting in fewer completed transactions.
Adjusted pretax operating margin improved compared to both the fourth quarter of 2012 and the third quarter of 2013 due to leverage in our noncompensation expenses from higher net revenue.
Asset management generated $27.6 million of net revenue, $11 million of adjusted pretax operating income and an adjusted pretax operating margin of 39.8%. Net revenues increased 69% and 53% compared to the fourth quarter of 2012 and the third quarter of 2013, respectively, due to higher management and performance fees.
Performance fees, the majority of which are recorded in the fourth quarter if earned, were $7.1 million, compared to $0.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2012 and the third quarter of 2013.
Management fees also increased due to higher AUM, driven by market appreciation. The adjusted operating margin improved compared to the year-ago period due to higher net revenues and decreased compared to the sequential quarter due to higher compensation expenses.
Turning to the balance sheet. In 2013, we returned $55.9 million of capital to shareholders by repurchasing approximately 1.7 million shares or 11% of our outstanding common stock at an average price of $32.52 per share. We have $39.5 million remaining on our share repurchase authorization, which expires on September 30, 2014.
Now I'll discuss discontinued operations, which includes both our Hong Kong capital markets business, which we shut down last year, as well as FAMCO, an asset management subsidiary we sold in the second quarter of 2013. For the fourth quarter of 2013, the net loss from discontinued operations was $0.8 million, driven by remaining costs related to the sale of FAMCO and the liquidation of our Hong Kong business. We do not expect additional costs going forward of any significance.
This concludes my remarks, and I'll turn the call back to Andrew.
Andrew S. Duff
That concludes our formal remarks. Operator, we will now open the line for questions.
Yes. Is the operator available, please, to open the line?
Operator, if you're available, please, we'd like to open the line for questions.
Well, we apologize. It appears that there are some difficulties with our telephone conference vendor this morning. We would welcome any questions you have. Please call Tom Smith at Investor Relations here in Minneapolis. That number is (612) 303-6336. And again, we'd welcome all questions this morning. And we apologize, there appears to be an issue with our vendor.
And then, let me just make a closing comment. The progress we have made in the past 2 years was driven by our focus on execution. We reduced costs, exited unprofitable businesses, invested our capital wisely and added to our higher-margin businesses. Our improving results attracted growth opportunities as we added Seattle-Northwest and Edgeview, as well as several new groups across our businesses. We believe that we will have additional growth opportunities and the resources to pursue them as we continue to execute in our core business. We thank all of our clients for their trust in us and our employee partners for remaining focused on executing on our clients' and shareholders' behalf. Thank you, all, for joining us this morning. Goodbye.

Watch Keiji Inafune play Mighty No. 9
Keiji Inafune created Mega Man, and now he's making the Mega Man-esque Mighty No. 9, which blew up Kickstarter to the tune of $3,8 million in funding. Then he made a video of himself playing Mighty No. 9, and you can watch it.
Notice he's playing with a wired Xbox 360 controller. One of you should try to make that seem controversial.
In other Inafune news this week, he spoke at DICE in Las Vegas the other day about how working on Mighty No. 9 has been very freeing.

1) The instruction only says in apache:
How do I achieve this?Code:PerlLoadModule Apache2::UploadProgress PerlPostReadRequestHandler Apache2::UploadProgress
2) The instruction did not mention anything about the package that I downloaded. Should I upload the package to somewhere in my server?
I am trying to add a progress bar to my uploading webpage. I found the below freeware:
In the script for html, they have links for 'progress.css' and 'progress.js'. But I only found an 'UploadProgress.pm' file by clicking the 'source' at the top of the page.
What I am missing here?
Also how to set up Apache? I am brand new to Apache.

Step 10: Write Code for Additional Buttons and a Check Box
Now you're ready to complete the other four methods. You could copy and paste this code, but if you want to learn the most from this tutorial, type the code and use IntelliSense.
For a video version of this topic, see Tutorial 1: Create a Picture Viewer in Visual Basic - Video 5 or Tutorial 1: Create a Picture Viewer in C# - Video 5.
As a best practice: Always comment your code. Comments are information for a person to read, and it's worth the time to make your code understandable. Everything on a comment line is ignored by the program. In Visual C#, you comment a line by typing two forward slashes at the beginning (//), and in Visual Basic you comment a line by starting with a single quotation mark (').
To write code for additional buttons and a check box
Add the following code.
private void clearButton_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) { // Clear the picture. pictureBox1.Image = null; } private void backgroundButton_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) { // Show the color dialog box. If the user clicks OK, change the // PictureBox control's background to the color the user chose. if (colorDialog1.ShowDialog() == DialogResult.OK) pictureBox1.BackColor = colorDialog1.Color; } private void closeButton_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) { // Close the form. this.Close(); } private void checkBox1_CheckedChanged(object sender, EventArgs e) { // If the user selects the Stretch check box, // change the PictureBox's // SizeMode property to "Stretch". If the user clears // the check box, change it to "Normal". if (checkBox1.Checked) pictureBox1.SizeMode = PictureBoxSizeMode.StretchImage; else pictureBox1.SizeMode = PictureBoxSizeMode.Normal; }

"I bought my pair as used, so I have no idea how long burn-in period is needed. These are almost fully open cans with an enormous soundstage - even the Sennheiser HD-650 cannot beat the Takstar in this aspect.

Viking Emerald Cruise Review by Shyianca: Yangtze on the Emerald-2012
Overall Member Rating
Yangtze on the Emerald-2012
Destination: Asia
Embarkation: Other
Our 17 day trip to China included Shanghai to Beijing offering. It is a trip not to be missed... the boat was fine for river cruising, meals were excellent and lots of variety. Being in August, the river was low so I personally found it difficult to get from the boat to the buses for excursions (too much climbing stairs) but once on board the bus, totally enjoyed all the scenery and the planned day.
For the days that we were on land (2 days in Shanghai, Overnight in Xian and 3 nights in Beijing), the hotels were first rate, clean and extremely beautifully decorated with excellent window views. Of special mention was the Crown Plaza in Xian.
The only negative I found was a bit of disappointment at disembarkment in Chongqing where helpers were gouging the tourists for assisting them up the many steps from the ship to the buses. Also, the lack of 'personal' time to do shopping - each excursion takes you to 'the government shop' where one may not find the special gifts More they would like to bring home.
Travel on tour buses and China airways within our trip was clean and comfortable.
Finally, a special mention for our tour guide (Mother Hen). This job was very well executed by Mr. Joshua Wu from Beijing. He took great care of us and we will never forget all the great stories he told us over the 17 days we spent together.
We made many new friends from all over the world and still keep in touch with some, trading our everyday life stories through e-mails and pictures.
Thank you, Viking! Where can you take me this year? I'm ready to go again. Less
