Well, I'm out.  Finally, I've left China; and not a moment too soon.  I really don't think I could have handled much more.  Is it a co-incidence that of the two countries I've spent more than a month in, Vietnam and China, I've left both of them in ... Read more >

CHINA | Tuesday, 4 Apr 2006 | Views [792]

So, my cruise is over and done with.  I have to admit ~ although I don't regret it at all, I will not remember it as one of my favourite Chinese experiences.  That said, I did enjoy myself.  On my last night in Lhasa, I ended up meeting a dutch ... Read more >

Horse Trekking in Songpan

CHINA | Tuesday, 21 Mar 2006 | Views [8523] | Comments [2]

Hey hey! Well, I'm definately sore, and pretty darn cold. Northern Sichuan can give Canada a run for its money in the snow department, let me tell you. I just spent the last 4 days on horseback, riding up into the hills and mountains surrounding Songpan ... Read more >

Sichuan really DOES mean spicy!!

CHINA | Tuesday, 14 Mar 2006 | Views [1611]

Wow.  I have never tasted food this hot in my life....and I love spicy food!   I literally touched it to my tongue, and there were fireworks in my mouth.  Incredible.  But I'm getting ahead of myself here....   Obviously, I've made my way to Sichuan ... Read more >
