On 2 September 2008, my 5th day in Jinhua, I spent 2,500 Yuan (about $365 US) to purchase a new “e-bike” (an electric motor scooter).  The best thing about owning a bike is how liberating it was; I could charge it at work for free, go anywhere I wanted at any time, could look all around in…

Starting in Beijing and going to the south until...Who knows!!

I went to Beijing by myself at the end of 2005. It was a fantastic city with lots of characters and history.

Great trip...

Well after a 12+ hour flight from lax I finally landed in Beijing.  The flight itself was LONG and BORING, but despite this I still have nothing but good things to say about Air China. They seemed to be very well organized and friendly.  This was also my first flight that stayed dark …

Government sponsored trip...the obvious bias was hilarious and part of the experience!

My first time China-wow. I saw so much stuff in these 3 weeks.My family and I went to Beijing,to Xian,to Hong Kong and at the end to Changchun...but see for yourself

Spent 2 weeks in Shanghai for work. Ate lots and took pics of the food.

Twenty hours in Beijing...what to do? When we landed the crew wanted to get some sleep...understandable because we had just flown all night but unforgiveable because we may never get back to Beijing again!!! I knew if they went for "a nap" all was over so I pushed them to just do a quick change and…

Awesome experience! Will always remember all the peeps throwing up the last 10km when we had to go back on the wall...

The trip started in Shanghai with some great bargains. Then we took the plane to Tibet to dive into another world. While our cap driver left us at Ganden monastery we were lucky enough to be able to join a pilgrim group back to Lhasa. Taking the new train from Lhasa to Beijing for 48 hours the last part of the trip began. Living in a real hutong I could get around the city and just with a piece of paper (and a bit of luck) to the great wall.

Three days in Beijing

Woke to a cool grey day ... or maybe brown ... very often the sky in China is brown due to pollution, desert dust or whatever other reason.  Climbed up to Solitary Beauty Peak then visited the Seven Star Park.  The Peak is one of the several outcrops in town ... it provided a good outlo…

Xiamen is a lovely Place !! It is very different than the rest of China. It is a city, but it is along the beach, and although you will rarely find people actually on the beach during the day ( they are packed at night oddly enough), it still kind of has that beach-y mentality. It is a little more …
