Into mainland China finally
This is a top pick! I head off to Xi'an today but not before a Junk boat tour that Della has organized. I get on the boat and see Kristin Kovner (another one of Lauren's friends from NYC) but realize that the two-hour tour I had been ready for was actually a six-hour ...
Wrapping It Up
This is a top pick! ... different things I read, but I feel that it is better to let the pictures do the talking. Enjoy. Another humorous aspect of China was the English language names that Timi´s students have chosen for themselves or had their parents choose for them. I am ...
Zhong guo Jia You! Or, the Olympic Torch in Zunyi
This is a top pick! ... was incredible to them that anyone could think that mountainous territory west of here wasn't lawfully and rightfully a part of China. I carefully avoided these discussions. On the street that morning, we saw people in full regalia-"I heart China" ...
Turtle Soup, Dog Ribs and Mooncakes for Dessert
This is a top pick! We've heard it about six hundred times since moving here: The Chinese will eat anything that moves, except trucks, trains and bicycles. In our lives, Dan and I have eaten some interesting things: kangaroo, alligator, pig's blood and intestines, frogs, ...
Pandas, Buddhas and other giant things
This is a top pick! ... mega malls and department stores. Interestingly, there was a huge statue of Chairman Mao overlooking all of these signs of China's now capitalistic tendencies, including McDonalds and KFC - a sure sign that communism is alive but not well in China these ...
Lunar Year wrap-up
This is a top pick! ... natural beauty of China that eluded you for the past three months. The parade of Chinese from rural China enthusiastically wave and say hello to you on the picturesque mountainside, wanting pictures, conversations, friendship. The tourists' ...
Revenge is a sweet thing!!!!
This is a top pick! If only Del had sat properly in his seat on the bus that day, then this meeting would not be occuring. But he didn't sit in his seat, you can't reverse time and we were sat at this meeting.......... Brendan was eating his fourth packet of fried ...
Bike Ride - Day 3. Baoshan to Xiaojin
This is a top pick! In the itinerary this day was marked as BIG CLIMB DAY!! Even though we were behind schedule it was still big climb day. Nic's knee had persistently been causing her pain so she made the (sensible) decision to stay in the van all day. A ...
Mt Everest Flight
This is a top pick! 26.9.06 Thamel, Kathmandu, Nepal Everest flight Des, Lynn and Lou got up at 5am for their flight over Mt. Everest with Buddha Air. They were very excited about it and hoped the mist would clear enough for them to get a good view. They were ...
In transit
This is a top pick! I manage to stay up the entire 14 hours to Hong Kong. You realize how long a time that is when you finish your third movie and still have 9 hours left. Fortunately, I have a free seat beside me to stretch and toss stuff, and Cathay Pacific is an awesome ...
Goodbye China
This is a top pick! May17th Hong Kong The journey to Shenzen (the town on the border between Mainland China and the new territories) was one of the shortest but one of the most expensive we made in China and on boarding the train we realised why. A sleek Modern train with ...
Village Life
This is a top pick! An Aini household works hard to keep everything going, and it seemed that the grandmother--like our Abu, who guided us on our four-day hike visiting Aini villages in Xishuangbanna--was the heart of it. Our Abu, like the woman ...
It's the Final Countdown...
This is a top pick! As I pen this entry, I'm overwhelmed by a decent wave of bittersweet. I can't believe I'm leaving China. In some senses, I feel like I've been here forever. It's incredible how quickly you adapt to a place and how familiar you become with a certain way ...
Wo bu ming bai!
This is a top pick! ... ; - everyone seems drunk as they drive. (Not really Mom and Dad, they're just a little crazy.) China's notorious pollution is definitely present, although we are told that Kaifeng is a much cleaner city than others. Erin, ...
The Mysterious Qiadam Depression
This is a top pick! Here you will find notes of our travels from Lhasa across the Tibetan Plateau to Golmud in the Qinghai province of China. We leave Lhasa, not initially for the Tibetan Plateau, but for Ganden monastery about 50km East of Lhasa. The road out of Lhasa ...
Mahaffy's Travels
This is a top pick! The trip back to Hong Kong to pick up my parents was pretty uneventful, minus Phil's detergent-induced dermatologic emergency... (I thought the last few entries lacked dramatic tension; a big thanks to Phil for providing some new material) So we ...
Tibetan Home Life
This is a top pick! Another 4 hour drive brings us up steep roads that make us believe we really are intrepid travellers, but reward us with incredible views. Miles and miles of open countryside, with only low grassy vegetation, make for sweeping vistas. We travel for miles ...
Hong Kong
This is a top pick! Is this really China (or should we say more accurately a "Special Administrative Region of China"? This is cosmopolitanism at its bold and so often flash best. The welcome sound of English in the air and on meaningful signs was sheer bliss. The stark ...
will you be my moon cake?
This is a top pick! Tuesday was Mid-Autumn Festival, China's second biggest festival. It's a time where you come together with your family and your lovers to sit and watch the full moon while eating moon cakes, a circular Asian form of marzipan, but ...
The road to Lhasa
This is a top pick! ... , which was quite a culinary treat to go along with our 2 chunks of pineapple. Apparently, we ordered the "dieter's breakfast" from China Air. Lhasa is very different from what I expected. It's about 70% Chinese, although there is a constant stream of ...
Beijing - Part 1
This is a top pick! ... Tiananmen Square massacre in '89, there is now a huge flower garden in the centre, a replica of the Great Wall of China, and various other statues and gaudy minatures of Chinese tourist attractions. Even so, the square is still pretty big! It was ...
A Short Trip to Hangzhou, Suzhou and Shanghai (2)
This is a top pick! ... houses with gray-tiled roofs. Jump to: Shanghai Entry To view more photos of China, please follow the link below: ...
Farewell to China and Tibet
This is a top pick! ... its work. However, due to the African-Asian summit, it was closed the whole time I was in Beijing. I really enjoyed seeing China's cities, seeing her various landscapes, and meeting her people, but I can't imagine living under such what is to me still a ...
Tian'anmen Square
This is a top pick! ... student protesters. There is no mention of what happened, no memorial plaque, nothing. That is the eery part of China, the authoritarian stranglehold on information over its people. While China is slowly changing to accommodate the new wealth and market ...
Surfing The Himalayas
This is a top pick! After leaving Lhasa and we continued to climb in elevation, the weather got continually colder. Over the next few days, we climbed in altitude to over 4400, then 4800, then finally to 5200 meters at Everest Base camp!!! Since my pack only ...
January 11, 2005
This is a top pick! ... is the case, since I don't think I can handle any more trips to the dentist. I have had quite enough of them while in China and can safely cross that off the list of things to experience. Rola felt so bad afterwards that she dragged me to her house so ...
A HIGHlight of travelling
This is a top pick! Our illegally hired jeep snaked its way through the very roughly dug out road. Actually, it wasn't a road. A track or bumpy lane better describes it. Derek, Brendan, Myself, Gary and Helen - don't know the name of the driver so his adopted name was ...
Thanksgiving in the P.R.C.
This is a top pick! ... So naturally, Ben and I investigated how to build ovens on the Internet. Thanksgiving in China had begun. Opting to forgo our original plan (dinner at KFC) we decided that we ...
