I dozed on bus. We pulled into a service station and we both got off...not thinking.
About a min later the driver asked where the final passenger was (all in Chinese), then they all turned around and talked to us...which we didn't understand. I did though, once they started pointing at our bags...our camera's had been nicked...The guy had just run off with them and no one saw him??? They left everything else though, incl my TC's. Jumped back on the bus and continued to Chengdu, there was nothing else we could do. Got into a cab to traffic hotel and grabbed some dinner. I was pretty upset about camera's, more so as the chinks had beaten me today. Tomorrow I will be nasty to them all...

17/4 - PSB
Headed after Brekkie to the PSB [they were responsibe for killing folks inTinanmen Sq], to report the loss and get a police report. That was pretty painless. Droppedof reports at hostel then headed into town to price/buy new cameras...
After about anhour I bought a Olympus 140 zoom compact 35mm [digitals were too expensive and all instructions in Chinese] nice and light though!
Walked to a park after a McD's shake and rode a train thru an underground bomb shelter (agains the Japs). They had made stuffedcowoys/animals and santa claus in their examination of history - so tacky and but good! Headed back to base via net.
Went to a Sichan style food place for dinner with a few beers, then went to a bar nr the hostel to watch some Tibetian dancing. Pretty good,v similiar to Indian as the dancers never touched and just walked round in a circle. Kath was feeling tired, so we left early.
back at the hostel I felt bad and tried to sleep. Kath was asleep, then I suddenly ran out of bed and grabbed the bucket and vomited dinner/beer up! Kath was awoken suddenly - I felt better though!

18/4 - Panda Mysterys
Up early and caught the small tour to the Panda sanctuary. As we started to walk ...
