What's this all about?

Welcome to my travel blog.  I'm going to be travelling in China for 30 days, and intend to post photos and stories here, to keep you all updated, so check back occassionally to see where Waldo is today. (You can also see the photos on Flickr  too.)  The trip schedule on the right  gives a rough idea of where I might be, but I don't usually plan too much in advance.

Please not that the solid underline links were made by me, while the dashed ones are auto created by Yahoo, and I'm not sure if they are always that relevant.

The map on this blog is not great because it doesn't allow me to add places myself, and it cannot recognize many places that I visited in China.  Instead, check out My China Map , which shows all the places that I visited during my three visits to China.

Dear Lisa:

I love the way you travel in China. I am originally from Beijing and now i live and work in New York city. I am planning to visit Beijing in early May this year, and hope to rediscover the city that I used to know.

I wish you a great time there!

Great pics! Some pics are hiliarious...I just came back from Kunming, Yunnan too and it's awesome there. Perfect weather just like Southern California. Can't wait to go to China again since it's so affordable compare with Euro vacations. =)

Lisa - fun times! Lovely pictures! New camera? The next time separatism comes up, don't forget to tell our Chinese friends about the 'G.O.N.E.'! Memberships are going fast!!!!!!!!!
Bon voyage, enjoy the last week of your trip!

Dear Lisa
I am going to ZJJ next week. Would like to know the name of the hotel (the second one)

In ZJJ Village, we stayed at the Minsu Shanzhuang (tel: 571 9188). It was listed as Y288 for a double, but we paid Y80. The Lonely Planet lists it as "generally things are dirty and tacky with old and worn furnishings and dodgy hygiene." They were friendly but didn't speak English, but my friend spoke Mandarin. It was more like a mountain cabin than a hotel, but for the price, I thought that it was good. Sitting on the balcony with a morning coffee, enjoying the mountain view, was great.
