Days, streets, water. (Giorni, strade, acque.)
... atmosfere sospese in cui mi ritrovo, dei magici colori che la accendono, delle scene di vita che la popolano.. Il paesaggio qui a Qingdao è davvero bello. Tra mare e montagne. Dalla nostra aula vediamo il mare a poche centinaia di metri più in basso, e ...
Going North-East

Shanghai- The Last Day and Qingdao
... of that habit, but some things I just can't fix completely no matter how hard I try. We went through the airport in Qingdao, which of course was impressive and big and grand, and were solicited by a taxi driver. We had seen a line waiting for ...
Un ricordo. Una frase. // A memory. A sentence.
Oggi ho sentito una musica che mi ha ricordato una frase sentita durante un precedente viaggio, sempre in Cina. Viaggiavo in solitaria attraverso lo 云南 Yunnan, la regione "a sud delle nuvole", verdeggiante e bellissima. Soggiornavo in una ...

Welcome to China!
So, we finally made it to Qingdao. Customs was once again no problem, but we had to wait for a long time 'cause the line was moving pretty slow and a Korean tour group totally cut in front of us. We had no problem catching a cab to get to the Qingdao ...

Qingdao, a pretty, ex-German colonial city
... China, you can get a 600ml glass bottle of beer for 35-45 cents. Tsingtao wasn't quite the cheapest beer in their home city, Qingdao! The best, freshest Tsingtao beer I got wasn't at the brewery, or the street keg, or the corner store but at the hostel - ...
