I went with a group of 50 or so court reporter delegates with People to People to Beijing and Guangzhou, China

I was very frustrated at first living in Beijing, most likely do to a lack of adequate language skills. By the end of my 4 months, I hated the thought of going back to the States and I returned to experience what some call, "reverse culture shock." These are some of the good times in the northern capital.

I woke up from the long train ride, which, although clean, quiet, and generally nice, still had small cramped beds.  Being on the top and having my bag with me, I found it hard to get a good night's rest.  Everything else, though, went pretty smoothly. Exiting the train station, I was lo…

El viaje

 Seeing as our first trip to the Temple of Heaven was hijacked by some greedy commies, we decided to make the temple our only destination on our last day in Beijing. While small in comparison to the vast corridors of the forbidden city, and naturally not quite as never ending as the 4000 kms o…

So for my last day in Beijing I was off to the Forbidden City, which is now set amongst the growing metropolis, and it is like a little island since there is a wide moat around the whole thing.  This serves as a reminder that it used to be impossible to enter.  The whole time you are in t…

Today's itinerary : The Temple of Heaven and Summer Palace ... In the evening, we watched a kungfu theatrical drama... Very good ! This is my last day in China. I can't say I'm satisfied with the tour, but for the start, i think it's ok. I hope I can see more China in future.

Slept quite well on last night's journey and the train got in 45 minutes early, so we were in at 7.15am.  Even then it was very hot, but not humid, so much more bearable.  Our rooms were not quite ready at the hotel, so had to wait about an hour for them to be cleaned.  We were kept …

After breakfast took a subway then bus 5 thinking it would take us to the Great Wall. We were confused when the driver motioned us to exit the bus. We got out and tried to figure out where we were. Monica approached a Rumanian lady that was looking a bit lost. We discovered that she was searching f…

photos take during travel

A whirlwind 14 day Beijing, Xian, Yangtzee River,Shanghai

These are some photos and a few journal entries I wanted to share from my first solo backpacking trip. It lasted 9 months. In retrospect, I wish I had been on this site to write a blog in real time and learn from all the people here. Also, I just love seeing that map Travbuddy draws up outlining my route! I'll be adding my photos whenever I find some time so bare with me while I get them them up.
