China Journal Post 5 -- Location, Location, Location

I'm in the city of Guiyang, in the province of Guizhou.  The city is pronounced:  Gooey- yong, and rhymes with "long".   The city motto is: "No more than three steps without a hill; no more than three days without rain; and no more than three coins in anyone's pocket."

We are exactly 12 hours off from Eastern Time.  Oh, and half the time, it's already tomorrow here, which means you're living in yesterday half the time, from my perspective.   When you're getting ready for bed at 9 pm, I'm already at work at 9 a.m. the next morning. 

See the pin in the map.  Beijing is to the northeast of me, about as far as Washington D.C. is from Houston.
