The Tran Siberian railway – Beijing to Ulaanbaatar
The first leg of the famous Trans-Mongolian train journey, winding from Beijing in China to Ulaanbaatar, the capital of Mongolia. Monasteries, Ger Camps and train bogies were all in my future.
A Mountain, a Theft and a Double Bicycle
My last trip in China. I packed up my stuff and heading to Beijing via Xian. Not only did I manage to see the Terracotta warriors, but was lucky enough to head to Hua Shan for an amazing hike and a unique karaoke experience.
Farewell Wuhan
To everyone I worked with, travelled with or taught. I'll miss you, you're forever in my memories.
The rest of Wuhan: Yellow Crane Tower and Changchun Temple
In an attempt to say that I have been everywhere in Wuhan, I dragged Brittany and Jennifer along to see a few places that I hadn't yet been to.
One Wedding and a Much Needed Holiday
An invite to a friend's wedding took me to Shanghai during Chinese National Day. What a city, strangely European while distinctly Chinese.

A much needed visit from Mum and Dad combined with a trip to Hong Kong, Macau and Shenzhen, China.
Yunnan and the Tiger Leaping Gorge
The exquisite Yunnan province, from Kunming to Dali to Lijiang and the Tiger Leaping Gorge.
The Three Gorges
A boat trip through the Three Gorges, finished up with a tour of the dam.

Pandas, ancient Chinese carvings and modern Chinese history. All in a weekend away to Chongqing.
Beijing: The Big City
