Today we woke up and had to pack up all our bags to move along to mainland China! We took a train from East Tsim Sha Tsui to Shenzhen, China. Shenzhen to China is like Tijuana to California. It is right on the border, and we had to pass through customs and immigration. The reason we came here is because it is cheaper to fly from Shenzhen to Guilin rather than Hong Kong to Guilin.
It was about an hour train ride, and when we arrived we checked into our hotel. It is SUCH a nice hotel f...
Morning in Hong Kong: Went to breakfast and then walked around. Packed up and then checked out. Skipped lunch today to go on the internet before we left and email home for the first time. We got on a bus to the train station and then took a train to Shenzhen. The train ride only took about 50 minutes. It was more like a subway then a train. Afternoon in China: Shenzhen: Went through customs, went pretty smooth. Met Cocoa, our new tour guide. Got on bus and drove to a park. We walked a mile st...
Shenzhen, China dcookHet is nu zondagavond (eigenlijk maandagnacht) De blog voor vandaag was op de luchthaven, voor het vertrek naar Shenzehen al geschreven, maar inmiddels moet deze alweer aangevuld worden. Onze vlucht had enige vertraging. Grappig wel dat we dezelfde vlucht hadden als 2 meisjes die we gisteren aan het einde van de wereld waren tegen gekomen. China is zo ongelooflijk groot! Hoe kan het dan toch dat je steeds dezelfde mensen tegekomt? Vanavond kwamen we om 23 uur aan op de lcuhthaven van Shenzhen...
Shenzhen, Guangdong, China nienke78Na de zware nacht vol maagpijn, het liggen onder de klamboe in een veel te warme kamer op de uiterst romantische boerderij hebben we vanmorgen uitgeslapen. Na een licht ontbijt (yoghurt is zo lekker) zij we er op de fiets opuit getrokken. Ik wist niet dat het einde van de wereld (en 5 kilometer daaromheen) zo mooi is! Overal zijn rotsen. Dat is misschien nog wel indrukwekkender dan bergen. Gewoon, volledig groen begroeide rotsen zomaar vanuit de grond met een hoogte van meer dan 100 meter! Di...

... and the little radio came to life.Trevor Bayliss, its British inventor, said he conceived his windup radio to help combat the AIDS epidemic in sub-Saharan Africa. But his radio could also wind up making a huge impact in places where there is no electrical power and little money to buy batteries - but still a lot of ignorance.<br><br> The first generation of hand ...
Shenzhen, Guangdong, China hplaptopbattery... we easily hailed a cab and drove across the bridge to the Cotai casino strip and the Venetian Casino. Next door we could see that the first stage of the City of Dreams development, including Crown and the Hard Rock Casino had recently openned, although we didn't have the time to visit. As we exited the cab we realised that we were just a bit short of local cash so Linda donated an AUD $5 note to the driver, which she eventually accepted.<br><br>First stop after ...
Hong Kong, China v1213... and I sketched. It seems that it's cheaper to buy in the US than here, I guess unless you want to buy knock-offs. Our hotel is almost next door to the Museum of Art (as well as the Space Museum and the Performing Arts venue) so I took myself off to this. I've never been a fan of Oriental art but I changed my mind after a short time here. I think Picasso learnt from the Oriental artists - 4 lines and you have a rearing horse, 6 lines and some smudged ink and ...
Hong Kong, China maxnstan... Ansen told us that he felt we weren't adventurous with our eating --- HAHA I said. I have been eating weird asian food for two weeks now, give me a break. I guess he noticed that we didn't eat much at dinner and then we didn't try the Chinese dessert place. Oh well, we will probably just have to come back on a better day, I said. Finally our group split up, and five of us went with Hugo to smoke Hookah. The guys wanted to get some ...
Hong Kong, Hong Kong lrgraves... may say, French cuisine is always treated as first among equals by the Big Red Book). Chinese cooking has been relatively neglected - until now. Although Chinese restaurants in other cities, including Paris, have received one star from Michelin inspectors in the past, Chan Yan Tak is the first Chinese chef anywhere in the world to receive the ultimate gastronomic accolade. Ms Chilton said the chef had been "overwhelmed and speechless" when the listings were ...
Hong Kong, China happysheep... dat ze met zulke lage lonen zich deze hoge levensstandaard kunnen veroorloven. Er is nog zoveel dat ik niet begrijp hier. Gelukkig heb ik nog 3 maanden om heel veel te doen en te ontdekken en daar heb ik heel veel zininin!! Ik mis het vertrouwde thuisleven wel, maar ik geniet ook op en top van de luxepositie waarin ik me nu bevind, op steenworp afstand van al mijn favo landen in Azie!! Na mijn Vietnamreisje en de geboekte Maleisië trip gaat in december nog een Thailand Cambodja reis ...
