2008 Travels through China

32 day trip

March 10 and March 11th, 2008 I wish I had been brave enough to tell my boss that I needed Sunday off to pack...but with already extending my one week vacation to almost three weeks...I went to work. I had been logging so many hours to meet all of my March deadines to make sure my adventure abroad was stress and guilt free. This is where I wish I could tell you how prepared I was and how easy it is to book all of your travel plans as a solo traveler for the first time to the other side of the planet...hop on a plane without care and voila! World traveler extroidiare... but that would be a lie....

DisneyLand Christmas 2007

8 day trip

时候已经是冬天,不知道是北京空气好还是什么原因,总觉得北京的阳光异常的刺眼,踩着地面的雪,发出沙沙沙的响声,我很喜欢这种走路的感觉,就这样不紧不慢地从长安街一直走到王府井,独自一个人走在大街上,看着来来往往的人们,闻名于世的天安门广场。在明清时代，是帝皇向全国人民颁布“国法”的场所，所颁布的条理将刻于木板之上，由天安门城楼上垂下供老百姓阅览。不少震惊中外的事情在这里发生，代表学生爱国的一．二九运动，就是从这个广场开始，以后这一股改革的热潮才引起全国的响应。不管是反对二十一条的游行，还是抵抗列强蚕食的示威行动，无一场不曾与他牵上关系。震惊世界的天安门宣言：“中国人民终于站起来了” 就是中华人民共和国的第一任国家主席，在这里用他那带有浓厚乡音的普通话向全国、全世界宣布的。然而，这个既然用来宣布轰动世界宣言的广场，在八年以后却发生了一场极严重的大浩劫，不少在解放战争年代参与革命虎将，被带到这举世闻名的广场来批斗。一些人因为受不了这一次浩劫的冲击含冤而终。虽然，在事件平息以后某些被冤的人们得到了平反，然而冤者已逝，平反又有何用矣！(当然同样的事情也同时在全国各地发生过！！) 在这片广阔的广场上发生的当然不止悲剧。每年的十月一日国庆节，国家将会在此举办与人民同欢共庆的盛会，各种花坛、踩街等游行活动将吸引了千千万万的群众。届时，这里将会百花齐放，一盆盆的牡丹、兰花（胡姬）、向日葵、满天星...

Round the World tour

223 day trip

This is my first trip to <B>Beijing</B>, the capital of China. One of my main itenary is to visit the Great Wall, and that makes me really excited. <B>Beijing</B> city is actually very easy to navigate. The roads are generally of a north-south and east-west directions. So I thought that seemed easy to walk around with a map on hand. But I was wrong. The main streets are very long and wide (a 12-lane road, 5 lanes for traffic in each direction, plus 2 outer lanes for bicycles only is consider common). So the distance from one junction to another on a map, is actually quite a long walk. Arriving early in the ...

Midyear 2007 in Beijing

6 day trip

Ok... so I got here ok. The wonderful city of Singpore. As expected the hotel is fabulous. It is the largest building in Singapore and linked to the Raffles Hotel and a massive shopping complex. The view from my room was fantastic and nothing could be faulted. Tonight I basically unpacked and chilled out in my room. I ordered room service of a well done beef burger and some dry ginger ale to mix a stiff bourbon or two. Not long before I was sound asleep. This morning, after a huge breakfast I set out for Sentosa Island via the cablecar. Unfortunately I must admit this was a little disappointin...
