Danang's riverfront promenade welcomes those fresh from the Hanoi moto scene and leads us quietly along the banks of the Han River to the magnificent Cham Sculpture Museum. This is easily a major highlight of the central coast of Vietnam with a brilliant ... Read more >

Hanoi is a buzz of bleeping motos and a flurry of activity everywhichway! We loved it. Nestled down a narrow alley tucked 5 floors above the street, we come and go to the streets below for superb 50cent Pho and the fun of it. Everywhere in Vietnam ... Read more >

Walked the bridge into Vietnam today to discover a country of quieter people. Many more smiling faces than China and NO SPITTING! Yayee! There are also way fewer smokers here than China...but with the behemoth Chinese super-highway being built to the ... Read more >

China was much easier to travel in then we excpected, at least in the small southern portion we explored. Transportation tickets were pretty easy and cheap to purchase and schedules strictly adhered to...well, departure times anyway. The trains and buses ... Read more >

The trip from Lijiang to the southeast corner of Yunnan is not for those with motion sickness! Bus, bus, train, minibus, bus...after 23 hours travel, with some frightening cliff edge drop-offs and brutal bumpy roads we arrive in Xiejie, the old hilltop ... Read more >

We headed out early from our lovely Gao Ke Inn in Lijiang to find the streets empty at 7am except for schoolkids heading for class. Cobblestone streets all to ourselves. Nice. Caught the 9:10am bus to Tiger Leaping Gorge (3hrs) and followed the Yangtze ... Read more >

We boarded the train in Guilin and followed the smooth rails west to the city of Kunming. Well....lost right from the start! Dang. Lost in Kunming again and again as we traversed the streets from dumpling stands to puppy markets to the wonderful ... Read more >

Ni Hao! Egads, there's just a wee bit of a language barrier here...but we've got the skills to fill our bellies at least! We've developed a fondness for clay pots stuffed with rice that you pick all the stir fry toppings for. They give you a little ... Read more >

Here we are tucked twelve floors above the busiest street in downtown Kowloon, Hong Kong. The city churns with consumerism. It may be tough to swallow the smog-ridden air but the stir fries are really yummy, even for breakfast! Laura even found her ... Read more >

Well, we're in Vancouver awaiting our fast-approaching departure across the Pacific Ocean. We've visited all of our favourite all-you-can-eat sushi spots, knowing the next stuffing of raw fish won't be until our return to Canada at the end of February.... Read more >
