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!

After I organised this trip, I realised that I could also visit relatives on my father's side in China too.  They lived at Chan Village about half-hour from Zhao An (which itself was four hours away by bus from Xiamen).  By the way, my surname is "Tian" in Mandarin which is quite an uncom…

Finally I made it out of Vietnam and am now in China!  This is very exciting, I didn't think I would come to China on this trip, and after the week spent in Hanoi waiting for my visa, i am definitely looking forward to it. I arrived in Dongxing today during a power outage.  Funn…

China and HK

We woke up at 6:30 which sucked because it was sat. and I don’t wake up that early even for work. We ate breakfast which was a type of porridge with a spicy taste and clumpy huge bread with juice and some vegetables (this is a normal Chinese breakfast if you are interested). Then took an hour…

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.

Hello Hello!   Today we went to the Forbidden City!   It was very impressive to see! But it was a pity that our tourgide went really quick through everything..so it was more like a "race" through the Forbidden City! And I have seriously never laught so hard...EVERY chinees…

I absolutely love Beijing ! There is so much to see and do! Highlights of the trip are definitely the Great Wall, Seeing the flag raising ceremony in Tian'an men square at sunrise, and the temple of heaven, close seconds are the forbidden city, and summer palace. Oh and seeing the Olympic Stadium

Days passed and I eventually thawed out. I even acclimated enough to strip down to four layers instead of six. Christmas came and went, my kiwi friends moved on and I opted to try Beijing on from a couchsurfing point-of-view. Most of the english-speaking Chinese choose an english sounding name to g…

So the potato chips in China are full meals ! We have barbeque chips, they have barbequed beef and pork ! Fried Chicken, Cucmber, basically all of your food groups can be found in chip form !! LOL I know people were staring at me in the supermarket as I was taking pictures and I am sure they w…

finally the great wall. i was still awe-struck even though i have been there before.  the giant wall made of bricks and rock just snakes along the mountain ridge for as far as the eye can see. the decayed wall from hundreds of years ago gives out this strange "lord of the rings" vibe. i felt l…

It's an ominous sign that while waiting in an enormous line for my bus ticket to Shantou in Shenzhen, I somehow lose my passport.  I plan to replace it in Shanghai.  Not much in Shantou, but after a grueling bus ride from hell on some of the worst roads imaginable, I'm happy to be anywher…
