Now that I got that eloquent rant off my chest.Yesterday and today have been infinitely better.  Yesterday I took a much-needed break and spent the morning blogging (read: bitching my head off) and hiding from the wider world of China.  (It turns out the clientele of this hostel are 99% C…

We landed in Hangzhou about 10pm. Not sure how the taxi works here, one man approached us, telling us he could bring us to our hotel for CNY150. Charlie had doubt about him and decided to walk out of the terminal looking for a proper taxi line. My Chinese language comes in handy when I asked the gu…

I’m sorry.  I can’t quite see you over there.  Shrouded as you are - at a distance - in soft but determined white mist.  It’s an eerily beautiful and atmospheric day today.  Besides the veiled waters of one of China’s most famous and revered lakes.  The ‘West Lake…

Este día salimos para Guilin, pero antes de eso teníamos la mañana libre, cosa que aprovechamos para dar un nuevo paseo, por nuestra cuenta, por el Lago Oeste y ver más despacio toda la belleza que lo envuelve. Cruzamos el lago a pie, por el paseo que lo divide, llegando hasta la otra parte…

We got to Xi'an airport good and early as we always do and our love of airports paid off big time. Walking into the departures hall we looked up at the board to see a mass of delayed and cancellled flights. Fearing the worst we headed over to the Hainan Airlines counter to collect our tickets and s…

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

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!

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