I took off to Xian way too early in the morning, with way too much stuff. After cursing my way through both Wuhan and Xian airports, I decided that I needed to send stuff home and cried my way through… but I need those jeans,…

A mountain, a theft and a double bicycle…

It comes time to leave Wuhan and I leave it with teary eyes. I’ll miss the place, even when I’m back in Australia not having to dodge unidentified piles on the ground. I’ll miss my friends, whether they are Chinese or foreign. And in the…

Farewell Wuhan

18 November 2007

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. First stop was the internationally recognised “Yellow Crane Tower”. According to legend, Yellow Crane Tower was…

The Rest of Wuhan

15 November 2007

When Steve asked me if I liked shopping, I didn’t realise that if I said ‘yes’ I would be on my way to Guangzhou for a day simply to go shopping. Guangzhou is a major tourist destination about twelve hours train-ride from Wuhan. We left…

From Lijiang, we headed out to Tiger Leaping Gorge on a public bus filled with the inevitable smoke and bodily fluid smell. Have I ever mentioned how spitting and peeing can be and are done when needed, regardless of location? Anyway, we arrived at the…

Well… after a short stint back in the office teaching my kids, I headed back out into the rest of China. This time it was off to the beauty of Yunnan province with a Gecko’s tour through the region. I was pretty excited about this…

Yunnan Encounters – From Kunming to Lijiang

5 June 2007

Leaving Chongqing was made nicer by boarding the cruise ship, Splendid China, knowing that the Three Gorges were ahead of me. The Three Gorges, part of the “mighty Yantze River”, is a famous tourist site for Chinese and Westerners alike. I spent the trip sharing…

The Three Gorges

2 May 2007

After working too hard for too long, I have finally managed to get to another city in the vastness of China. This time it was off to Chongqing, another one of China’s “three furnaces”, so named because of the high temperatures during summer. Unfortunately, when…

Chongqing Beckons

A mad rush to the airport and I was on my way to Beijing, the capital of China… Thanks to scheduling issues at school that had me finishing class at 5pm, I had to catch a taxi to the airport to catch my plane that…

Well, Christmas in Wuhan. My first Christmas away from Australia. It was definately what you would call strange. Whilst the Chinese do celebrate Christmas, they celebrate it with shopping. There were “Boxing Day” sales all over the place on Christmas Eve and everybody in Wuhan…
