Beijing

We've been in Beijing for close to a week now scouring the city and all of the big sites. From Qingdao we took a 6 hour bullet train to Beijing. Along the way it was easy to see why all of your clothes say "Made in China" on the tag. There was practically no residential housing on the trip....

China's capital.

We made it!

We made it! Our boat from Incheon was scheduled to depart at 2pm on Saturday, but didn't end up leaving until 5:30pm. The New Golden Bridge VI Panama had few frills. There was one Korean restaurant open only for one hour for meal times and NO convenience store. We got pretty thirsty and...

Still leaving China

We arrived in Nanning after a rather nerve-racking bus journey, during which Joanne was constantly re-calculating when we were likely to be arriving in Nanning, and whether this would give us enough time to get across town to the other bus station (oops) to catch the last bus to Hanoi (oops)....

Leaving China

It occurred to me after our cycle trip that, to my surprise, the only bicycles I had seen in China were those for hire to tourists. What happened to that 1 billion bicycles in China, or whatever the silly song says? In the evening, after our cycle trip, we found a pub / restaurant that has a...

Chinese New Year in Yangshuo

I've realised that in the last entry I forgot to mention that, when we went to the Couchsurfing KTV Chinese New Year outing in Guangzhou, Joanne and I both sang Karaoke although there don't seem to be any photos to back this claim up. For the record, Joanne sang "Should I stay or Should I Go" by...

Tipping really isn't a place in China (Guangzhou catch-up and food)

[Sorry about the photo formatting and typos in this. I'll edit it later. And I'll get the hang of it one day] Ok I finally managed to upload the photos, although I've got such a backlog of blogging to do I think it may be a while before I have time to hook them up to any text, or tag them...

Weather

I really wanted to write another long entry here to cover all of the missing days, and also cover a topic or two that I've not really given the time they deserve: food for example; but I've just spent an hour trying to work out how I might upload photos, but to no avail! Now I have lost my...
