What is it about the beautiful rhythm of the rice terraces that is so mesmerising? The village itself is very attractive with old wooden buildings but it is the ever-changing terraces that are breathtaking.

The terraces are quite high and the weather cool. It is almost time for the harvest so the terraces are golden.

Well we are now on the last leg of our mammoth trip! One week today we will be on the flight home and we are looking forward to arriving back in Australia.
As you know our trip has been fantastic and we thought nothing could top Egypt but we are now experiencing so many fantastic things we are not so sure!!!

We arrived in Guangzhou at...

Shanghai to Hong Kong

This was one of the easiest trips to make that it was well worth the money saved by not flying directly to HK. The problem with the pricing is that, being not classed as a 'domestic flight' for complicated reasons, the price difference would have been
Shanghai Pudong - Shenzhen - 890 Yuan
Shanghai Pudong - HK I...

Have been back in Wuhan for a week now (actually 3 now by the time I've finished this & finally figured out how to post it) following my 7-week Asian Adventure. It feels a bit of a daunting task to describe my trip as I had so many amazing experiences. Before I left I was quite honestly feeling pretty scared about the whole thing. I'd never ...

We left Ha Long Bay this morning and continued east and entered China. We are at a stop over and will head to the docks in Macau to send our trucks home tomorrow. We are 577 kilometers from there and the Avalanche is ready to go home and it has done its job and carried us about 6,000 miles in 30 days with little or no trouble. We will head tomor...

Hello Everybody, I think I should first start this blog off by mentioning my map pin locations. I don't think any of them are right. So don't go basing any geography projects on my map. I've mentioned before, the computer that I was using in Inner Mongolia was a piece of ****, and sometimes I would just be happy to be able to log on..so putting ...

* OK, no longer are their two entries for the dates that are being difficult! I've deleted the original entries as I've found that the new entry allows me to manually update the Map Pin BUT as the entry wont allow me to update I still can not weave the photos into the Blog Page so all photos will have to be viewed from the Photo Album. I've been...

We did a bus-ride around the town, intending to get off at the fish-market, but realizing too late that we had already passed it. We stayed on the bus until it returned to the stop where we had picked it up, leaving the bus driver bemused at the strange sight of the crazy foreigners taking a trip to nowhere. Taking the local buses is actually a ...

Today we took a bus to Bei Hai's famous Silver Beach. There was supposed to be a 25 yuan entrance fee, but it must have been waived out of season. As soon as we arrived, swarms of ladies in conical hats approached us selling strings of pearls. We've heard differing opinions about whether or not they are genuine, but Yoong bought several anyway. ...
