The Great Firewall of China

... I was thinking… I have a serious stubborn streak! During this trip I was determined to walk or use public transportation as much as possible… especially in places that were more expensive… and China definitely fit that bill. I felt guilty every time I took a taxi… I wanted to travel like the locals and not like a tourist... well, not exactly as things like cyclos were specifically for tourists! I was frustrated with the lack of English spoken so I ...

Beijing Spring - 2009 cont.

Two of our Beijing Explorer trips were reserved for art complexes; Caochangdi Village and The Brewery. Nine years ago, the pre-eminent Chinese artist Ai Weiwei made a bold move to the outskirts of Beijing. In an area called Caochangdi Village, by the Fifth Ring Road in the city's northeast, he designed a compound for himself, some friends and a gallery called China Art Archives and Warehouse. For a while, they were left alone. As the 798 District, the epicenter ...

Beijing, September 27, 2008, Saturday

... Beijing's shopping districts. While I can't really say it was obvious by the number of cars, for number of cars was huge everywhere, I can say it was obvious by the number of bicycles. For the first time the number of bicycles in Beijing reminded me of the number of bicycles I had seen in China two years before. I guess it was no chance that in both cases it happened in shopping districts. Right at the corner between Xichang'an Jie and Xidan Beidajie we found a tower block carrying ...

2008 Summer Olympics

... is "country or team" Ja-young (let's go). The Chinese folks around really enjoyed cheering for the Netherlands with George's leadership. When George switched to cheering for Japan people weren't so keen. Apparently you are only allowed to cheer for one team in China. After the game, which finished with Japan way on top, we taxied home, watched more Olympics and had some lively discussion. Shortly thereafter we went to bed, ready to sleep much past 7 a.m ...

Here's the house- but where are the people?

... run a 100-room Comfort Inn & Suites hotel in downtown Beijing since 2002. Hui will open two more hotels in the city in the next few weeks before moving on to the rest of northern China, for which he holds the exclusive franchise rights. "This has really impacted our business poorly. This was supposed to be a really glorious time, but it has been even worse than we expected," said Hui. That said, he added -- and this may offer some small insight into what the Chinese government ...

Beijing!

... fewer sights and we rather liked it. The temples and pink cherry blossoms were particularly striking. The Really Great Wall Today we did the Great Wall. It was amazing. I imagined that the scenes you see in photos would be taken by helicopter in some remote area and we'd only be able to walk a few 100 metres on a section crowded with tourists and hawkers. But, doing some research, we travelled further to Simatai and avoided the touristy bit and ...

... left her to rest and me and Jo hired bikes and headed off to the Temple of Heaven. This is set within gorgeous park grounds which are really laid back and relaxing. Round each corner there was a different group of people singing, or doing tai-chi, martials arts, playing cards, just relaxing and chatting, some dancing, and occasionally some very bad singing and instruments like out of tune violins!! The temple is pretty cool, made up of all different parts ...

... at the train station, but of course his train didn't actually arrive until about 8, haha. it worked out ok tho, because i think i gained about 4 levels in pokemon while waiting. next i got my first taste of how the chinese think about foreigners. we arrived at our designated hotel through a tour group, and as soon as they saw me everyone started flipping out. foreigners can only stay at 4 star hotels, apparently. they wanted me to ...
