This weekend, about 15 people from our group traveled to Inner Mongolia!  It is a province about 12 hours North East of Beijing.  We had the whole thing set up though a travel agent close to our classroom (the Asian kids had to help us with this one).  Some things were definitely los…

A few of my photos from China trip

This was my first trip to Hainan island and after that, I wanted to go back there every chance I had. A very beautiful place, very natural with all this mountains, roads with few people, and the ocean...oh everything was wonderful, or maybe because I was in love that time...But indeed very hot there, you can go to the big temple on the mountain, and there's a cute monkey island with a lot of different monkeys, the biggest swimming pool in China.A lot more fun...

My first year studying in China 2008

Well, afterwards my flight to Shanghai has been scary...It was actually a pretty boring flight, very few turbulences... One could see some lightnings in the distance since it was night... I had a great view on Moscow at night, and later in the early hours of the local morning a wonderful dawn over …

Finding Victoria. Many countries across the globe have honoured Her Majesty Queen Victoria and the Commonwealth. On my travels I will keep my eye out for various namesakes.

We were all getting a bit tired of Ulaanbaatar's noise, pollution, and dangerous drivers (crossing the road there was like a deadly game of Frogger). Zack, Sally, and I bought some train tickets to the Mongolian border town of Zamyn-Uud and since we also had three bikes to drag with us, we bought o…

在昆明郊区也可以玩马术，生活真的很美好！ Also may play the horse-riding in the Kunming suburb, life is really happy!

Spent June and July of 2008 working in Beijing, China. We got lucky and ended up not having to do much work so it turned into somewhat of a paid vacation. Because of that I got a chance to really live it up and experience as much of Beijing as I could in two months. It was also a special time becau…

We went back to Hangzhou for the 2nd and 3rd times within 2 weeks because we fell in love with this beautiful city. We did some side trips around Hangzhou : Shaoxing - the ancient city that first started making the chinese rice wine and the smelly tofu. There are two beautiful gardens in Shoaxing …

The company I work for decided, as many other companies do, to celebrate the start of the spring by going to the area of the Great Wall and planting some new trees. So they organized a bus and breakfast and 50 employees signed up and all of us met on saturday morning and start this travel. Th…

I was up very early to get to the airport for my 8am flight to Lijiang... It seemed odd heading to the airport as I’d not actually been there before having arrived in China by train. I was really excited about the trip as Smurf was flying over to spend the week with me.  He actually arrive…
