This was the most significant trip of my life to date, as it was the trip that sparked my obsession with traveling. I have been consumed by the desire to travel ever since and it has now become a lifestyle.

There are only pictures included, as this trip was too long ago for me to make any insightful comments.

this place was amazing but GOD-AWFUL-CROWDED. The serene picture of the marble boat was a nightmare to take.

I've left this city still as impressed as when I first came in, probably more so after taking part in its many incredible attractions. On the whole, it appears that this city is bursting at the seams and growing at a tremendous rate, but all in a very controlled and planned manner. The archite…

This was the first leg of a 16 day trip that had us visiting Beijing, Hong Kong, and Macau. It was a GREAT trip. It was the first time I had ever been anywhere where I could not readily communicate, so that was definitely an experience to remember. I could go on and on about this trip, but how about you just take a look at the pics and fill in the rest for yourselves :)

I spent three weeks in March of 2007 traveling through China. Recently, a friend planning a trip there asked if I had any advice, so I drafted these tips for him.
