Making our way back to China:
Our last stop before heading back to Luzhou, was Chongqing.
We have been here a few times before. We really like Chongqing, as it is a much bigger city than Luzhou. There are foreign supermarkets & (some) foreign foods available too. There is a little monorail which you can catch for 1 or 2 Yuan per person, which is pretty handy.
Chongqing is one of China’s 3 hottest cities – very hot in summer, & warmer in winter than a lot of other cities, which makes it nice to visit when it’s freezing cold. Chongqing is currently home to 32 million people & is regarded as the world’s biggest city.
We spent 1 week here before heading to our new school in Luxian, Luzhou.

We ate Hot Pot a few times (a famous Sichuan dish), did a bit of shopping, went to the movies (watched G.I Joe in Chinese) & also played proper Mahjong at a teahouse with our friend.
