This is a top pick! Route: Meishan Kou and Meishan village Total Distance: 10km Altitude up: 160m Altitude down: 160m Another early wake-up, 5:30 am. The too few hours and not deep enough sleep is again, as in the previous sections, taking its toll. At 6:15am we ...
Emily vs. the English Book

This is a top pick! ... 2am I jolted awake when we pulled into the parking lot at a public W.C. (yes, that is what they call toilets in China). It reminded me a little of a rest stop along the Jersey Turnpike, minus the Burger Kings and souvenir stands, but with the addition of ...
World-Class Cities: Singapore and Hong Kong
This is a top pick! Despite having Canadian flags prominently emblazoned on our bags, we seem to continually meet people who are skeptical or surprised about us being Canadians. What they see, an Asian, is in contrast to their perception of a Canadian as a white ...
Road to Lhasa
This is a top pick! ... an Irish guy. We got along well, and wanted to see the same things, so it has not been a real problem so far. Mainland China is different than Tibet, so traveling there alone isn't forbidden. After the border crossing into Tibet, we stayed in a small town ...

Water buffalo, pigs and oceans, oh my!
This is a top pick! ... schlepping the tent, my backpack and various things all around the train station, ridiculously overpriced Shenzhen taxicabs, and Hong Kong-China customs, I was really thankful when Max and I were finally at the head of the Maclehose trail and ready to ...
To the mountains of Dali
This is a top pick! ... some reason, there is a profusion of hippie apparel, which seems just a little out of place in the middle of southwestern China. The kind of clothes that remind me of eccentric middle-aged great aunts who are elementary school librarians and like to do ...
A passage through Dolma La Pass
This is a top pick! I get up early in the morning. It is very quite and cold outside. Snow-flakes are dancing up in the air and then softly fall down in the grey light of dawn. It seems as though eternity passed by as I stand in the open all by myself enjoying the scenario. ...
Frantic in Hong Kong

I'll have three donkeys and a camel, please
This is a top pick! What must these people be thinking of me? I wondered, as I squatted in the dust of the Kashgar livestock market trying to get a portrait of a distraught camel calf. Uighur, Kazahk, Kyrgyz and Hui ethnicity ranchers (guessing by their hats) stood ...
