Traveling by your lonesome is a nice experience. This is the second time I traveled alone and I can say it's an interesting experience to submerge in one's culture even for a few days only

I went to China for the month of May 2006, so study the long term effects of human development on aquatic ecosystems. As such I traveled to extremely rural places and went where no white person had ever been before. Overall the trip was eye opening!

During Winter Break of last year, I took a tour of Nanjing, Wuxi, Suzhou, Hangzhou, and Shanghai.

This area of 850 hectares provides the visitor with some of the most densely-packed and unique sights in the entire Wuyi Mountain Scenic Area. The cruise, 7.5 kilometres long, takes about two hours, and each bend has its own scenic attractions.

Led 23 Americans on church-building trip to China's eastern Guangdong Province. Also, had opportunity to sightsee in Hong Kong and Beijing. Highlights: 1. Hong Kong (Victoria Peak, Star Ferry, Kowloon New Year's Eve) 2. Guangdong (Building Church with local Christians, Foot Massage) 3. Beijing (Tian'anmen Square, Forbidden City, Great Wall at Badaling)

Three days in Beijing

Beijing Olympics Volunteer, Tennis Venue, Ticket Validation & Verification and hopping around in BEIJING CITY!!!

The day before this was July 4th I bought enough sparklers to make a sparkler bomb then, made dinner and accidently cut my middle finger and ended up going to my friends home Itack who is Canadian and he had his Canadian friends over and let’s say it was the most un American 4th July every for me. LoL but, I enjoyed it nun-the less. I was lucky that Itack was home because he was leaving for Canada the next morning! So I meet up with My friend Chuck and we spent the day shopping, ge…

have been to HK so many times but never stepped into Mainland China until now...I miss my baby Amy in Beijing!! Gotta go visit her!!

On the penultimate day of the course I managed to oversleep and miss the first class!  Given how many ridiculously late nights I’d been having this was actually the first time I’d not made it to lessons on time. We were told at the start of the course that missing classes without a good explanation would not be tolerated, so I was pleasantly surprise when my absence was ignored.  Clearly my star pupil status had worked in my favour! The rest of the day passed by in a complete …

After a quick breakfast at the Hotel Bayangol, we got our transfer to the station get the final leg of our Trans Siberian/Mongolian adventure. Once on the train, first impressions were an improvement on the last train, so hopes were higher for a more comfortable journey....Sadly this was short-lived... The carriage reached 40°C in the sweltering Gobi desert heat, and the worst part was that we were told to shut the windows to stop the cabin from filling with the desert dust, leaving us who…

Left the hotel at 8AM to go to the Great Wall at Badaling.  It’s about a one-hour drive from our hotel.  Traffic was bad mainly due to the way people drive there because they don’t follow any rules.  You have pedestrians, people on bicycles, cars, taxis, and trucks all going at different directions and trying to avoid each other.  I would be scared to drive in China because I know I will hit somebody.  It’s funny the way pedestrians try to cross the stree…

Quickly spending 3 days in Guilin last weekend.This time, went to the newly discoveried cave and terraced fields only with green.Big pity it was not right time to see the 5 colour in the field.Lived in farmer house, fed by country food, walking alone the country rode.Fully enjoyed with nature beauty this time.

We arrived at the ferry terminal in Tanggu, near Tianjin where we got a bus to Beijing.  Less than thirty minutes into our journey there was a loud bang where one of the rear tyres had burst. Eventually, seven hours later we arrived at the Red Lantern hostel in Beijing. We spent our first full day sightseeing at Tiananmen Square where we saw Zhengyangmen gate and Tiananmen gate which were both beautifully painted.  Unfortunately Chairman Mao's mausoleum was closed for restoration. …

The pictures speak for themselves i hope :)
