The area's top two tourist attractions are the world's largest Buddha and a panda park (pandas being the favorite animal of the Chinese). Although for us, it had much more to offer... legit Mexican food @ Peter's Tex-Mex. For us, that was definitely the highlight of the trip. It also has a larger array of Western restaurants including a chic place owned by an American couple called the Lazy Pug, where we enjoyed a delicious pulled pork and buffalo chicken sandwich. It was a fun trip.

Chengdu Can Do
Andrew and I traveled to Chengdu, a city of 10 million in southern China, last week. Intel has a site there and Andrew had a week of meetings and I, having plenty of time on my hands, joined him for half of the week and the weekend.

Looks and sounds fantastic, Tanya. Etihad Airlines (where I work) just started flights to Chengdu so we've been considering a trip there. I think your photos just cinched it. Would love to know more about exactly where you went and especially where those restaurants are - we don't get much (strike that) any good Tex-Mex here either and BBQ? they haven't heard of it. :)
