Shenzhen

Monday (yesterday for us), Eric and I went walking for a bit. The following pictures are from an outdoor show that is put on most days by children. It was one of the cutest things I've ever seen! All these little girls singing something but performing on stage was hilarious. What was even...

Thanks For The Comments

It takes a while to post these blogs and so I hope they are descriptive enough for everyone. Let me know if you have any suggestions. This is my first blog ever so I have a lot to learn. Just as an FYI, FB is completely off limits here in China. I am receiving many notes from my gmail...

From Hostel Hell To Paradise

I arrived in Shenzhen last night. After some walking around for about an hour, I finally found the hostel. Here's a picture from the outside I took today: A more appropriate name would be My Little Hell Hole Hostel. I was pretty tired last night by the time I arrived (just before 11:00 PM)....

Beijing to Shenzhen

I made it to the correct waiting/staging area and to the correct train with no problems. The picture will be hard to see as the light wasn't the greatest but here is the best shot from the outside: The rest of this blog is a mixture of personal journal and blogging. The thoughts are my own...

Saying 'Zaijian' To Beijing (for now)

Well, it's travel day today. I don't leave until later tonight but I am getting ready now. As I was packing, it was time to say good-bye to Ben and Gaya. They are a great couple from Israel. They are both very nice, patient, and tolerant. They have a few months of traveling left. This morning,...

Whare Am I?

I am lost! I am hot. I am sunburn. I am thirsty. I am sweating like a water fountain. No one speaks my language! As a man, I refused for a time to ask for directions. It didn't matter. NO ONE SPEAKS English! Frustrating but a good learning moment. I'm having some tea and am cooling down and then...

Tian'amen Square

Went to Tian'amen Square yesterday. Took the metro train which was very covenient. One ticket is 1 Yuan or about 15 cents. I had to take Train #5 to Wondong and then transfer to Train #1. No transfers needed if you stay within the metro stations. Anyway, it was hot as hell yesterday. About 92 if...

The Great Staircase

I am having troubles uploading photos. My computer is very slow. Consequently, my post will be a day after the actual blog. Yesterday, a group of 9 of us went to see the Great Wall and The Ming Tombs. It should really be called the Great Staircase. Almost 2000 steps up and then you have to...

Arriving and The Lhama Temple

Today is Saturday. We lost a day coming over since we crossed the International Dateline. When we arrived yesterday, it was about 5:30 PM when we finally arrived at the hostel. It's called Candy's Place or, more officially, 1 Hai Inn. It's located down what we would call an alley but where there...

A Return to Blogging

Well, after a half-a-year hiatus, I have decided to come back to the blogging sphere, hopefully as much as I can for my last month and a half here in Kunming. Over my time here, a lot has happened. I will not regale you with hashing out the details of life. Rather, I'm going to just jump right...
