Day 10 (leaving day) : I got up at 7am. I set my alarm about 7:30am but I woke up before that. I looked to my next bed. MM?? I saw something not familiar in my room. A girl from Demark brought a guy in our room! And both of them were naked lol  I'm glad I didn't hear ANYTHING when I was sleep…

Houhai is the name of the lake and bar/tea street area of Beijing.  I'd been there once at night, but decided that I wanted to go again during the day.  This time I went with Leo and Vivi.  The highlights- purchase of more ginseng oolong tea, Cocoa Ballet, the lake, and chicken wings…

As I mentioned, I had every good intention to go to the Shanghai Museum. I meant to do that 'today' but didn't. I went shopping again, but for sensible things - I picked up some green tea and jasmine tea to take home, as well as a really nice hardback book of Chinese Home cooking recipes - I really…

I had heard all about the trains in China from friends who had travelled there. It seems like one of those experiences that everyone needs to have in China. So I decided to take an overnight train from Xi'an to Beijing instead of flying there. In addition to getting the experience, I also wanted to…

Well, it happened. Someone asked me for directions for the first time tonight. And (surprise!) I actually could help the guy out. Ah. Sanlitun has now become home. I missed my apartment when I was in Manilla last week. Another sign that this has become home to me. As I'm getting used to life here, …

OK, how do I start? It's been some time since I been there (I arrived to Beijing at May 20th 2006) and I lost all the films because I post them all from Mongolia (I didn't felt like carry them with me) and the package just never arrived. I don't see the point of making a long list of all the plac…

Beijing, China.... there are different kinds of food to try here, from your regular kungpao chicken to the most unimaginable food that you could think of....There is one street over at Beijing that offers all this kind of foods...The smell of the food was not really the best, but the experience was…

I am starting to think about what to pack and bring. It's been raining so much in California the past few weeks, I hope I won't get too wet in China! The flight leaves on April 9 from San Francisco to Shanghai. I will spend only one night in Shanghai, so won't get to see it much on this trip. Other…

Our bus from Hong Kong to Guangshou was really simple and easy and the border checkpoint was actually one of the easiest and hassle free borders we have gone through. We arrived in Guangshou earlier than we thought we would so we headed for the Bus station to organise a bus to Guilin the next day.…

It was 830PM, and we were set for boarding. We said goodbye to Vivian, for the emantime, before we proceeded to Compartment 3. This is the first time I will be experiencing a long train ride so my excitement was rising. The first thing I did when I reached my cabin was leave my bags inside, went ou…

Beautiful is a word that is tossed around too easily in travelling circles, in the same way that the sobriquet of “genius” is applied to far too many musicians. Every time I talk to fellow tourists, the places they have been are: "Just beautiful! You'll love it." Often, when I get to these pl…

We arrived in Shanghai about 6am on a Saturday in the middle of the summer humidity.. again, no hotel reservation. I wasn't too worried however, because we had all day to work on it and I knew we'd eventually find something. The key was trying to get something close to the famous Bund…
