Our next adventure- China

We flew from Kathmandu to Delhi and boarded our plane to Beijing.......only to be told that there was a 'small' problem with our plane. It was ok, just that it couldn't turn??!! Honestly that was the explanation we got. And so we were delayed for 24hrs. The only good thing was that we were put...

Xiamen

Xiamen is just another big Chinese city that no one has ever heard of and, believe it not, it has more than several million people living here. As with all Chinese cities we have visited it has Tower cranes building skyscrapers all over the place. We took a local Ferry to a small island that...

Beijing

We spent a beautiful overnight in Beijing which has changed so much in the past few years with beautiful new buileings everywhere. Some of them are architecturally very unsual. On the two hour drive from Tianjin to Beijing we saw an incredible amount of construction going on with Tower...

Phew!!!

I JUST learned that the Philippines is home to chocolate production. All will soon be right with the world... I ran out of my S. American slavery-free chocolate yesterday. Only 48 more hours of forced withdrawal symptoms. (One symptom: bad spelling. Trust me, that's the obvious cause...)

Stopover in Canada
