Knife and I checked in at an hostel that was situated high up un a hill. It was an old observatory. It was a cozy place, especial the restaurant wich was on the top floor with a very good view of the city. I think in summer this hostel would be better to stay in because at this time it was very col…

We visited an old mansion used by Chiang Kai-shek, the leader of China KMT party before KMT's retreat to Taiwan in 1949. The house is now famous for being used as backdrops for wedding photos. We saw busses with brides/grooms getting ready to have their photos taken. The garden of the mansion …

They were many and varied. We had a few great nights out, ranging from formal dinners to pizza at the Sailing Club. We also went shopping quite a lot, Adam and I went to the Aquarium, and Adam, Laura and I visited some of the plush hotels for a look around (OK, to use the toilets). I also lost my…

So we were walking on the HK road and we passed by Club New York. We decided to go in because 1) it's NY!!! Both Alex and I are from NY. 2) We read about this place somewhere and it was supposed to be good, and so we went in. The place was in a hotel. It was nicely decorated. It was quite packed wh…

It was supposed to leave at 4pm but was delayed and didn`t set out until 7 pm. Took about 16 hours but we lost track of…

I got into Qingdao yesterday afternoon... and I had the window seat!  *waaaaahhhh*  I don't like window seats, but as the flight was pretty full, I didn't have a choice.  Since it was only an hour, no food, just drink.  I'd fallen asleep during the flight and the landing woke me…

  Tracy and I embark to the bus station and jumped on one as it was rolling out of the service area.  We leave at 9:00 and with dad's flight arriving in Qingdao at 11am it was just enough time.  As usual, I doze off immediately on the bus (too excited the night previou…

I want to take the ferry from Shanghai to Qingdao but am told that it has been cancelled due to a strong taiphoon in the Yellow Sea.  Take the train instead.   I'm getting more bold with what I'll let myself eat as I'm probably become more immune to it.  Even eating frozen "bing…

so, being in Asia now with working in Thailand gave me the idea to visit China. In Holland I trained half a year Wushu and my master went back to China when I went to Thailand. He invited me and I couldn't let that go. I stayed in a hotel and we went somewhere everyday. We wanted to go to Beijing b…
