Promised to keep up to date in China and have fallen behind, yet again. The good news is I was able to change my ticket (kudos to Eugenia at Airtreks- my round-the-world ticket brokers) and extend China for two additional weeks, so this took some of the

Back at the internet because I am trying to change my flight out of China. Unfortunately, Egyptair has yet to respond to my inquiry and they don't have an office in Shanghai. They do have an office in Beijing, but if I wait until I get to Beijing it w

When non-Chinese imagine what China is like, a typical image that emerges is that of a small, traditional village, with narrow alleys and houses of tiled, curved roofs, with watchtowers and city walls and streets lit by lanterns. When they visit China,

It seems so surreal to think that just a month ago I was in China, visiting Beijing, Xi'an, Chengdu, Chongqing and cruising down the Yangtze River. When I close my eyes, I see China the way I saw it in April, the beautiful scenery and people.

May 1st is a public holiday in China, as it is International Labor's Day which is originated from a labor dispute in the United States (although it is not a public holiday in the States today). lol. We had a rough plan to visit a nearby city in the three-

I've been home for a week now. While traveling through China, I had forgotten about home and the stress here. I was at peace, and for the first time in a long time, I was myself. The girl I use to be before I took on the stress and responsibility of my cu

I have 17 weeks and a couple of hours until I fly off to Paris, I think that I am well justified in my screams. Mostly due to the fact that, granted I know I have a little over four months to plan everything, I have offically d

My last night in China turned out to be a more symbolic and interesting night than most nights here. As I was sitting with some of the staff here at BackPax, a Chinese University student approached me and asked if I would come sit with her and her friends

Last night the crew at BackPax hosted an Expat event with a Mexican theme. What a great time for them to launch their new menu and mark the opening of the hostel's restaurant. The food was great, as everything had been made by hand. Yes, from the tortilla

My bus ride from Chengdu to Chongqing was long, however the Chinese woman beside me made things more interesting as she continually offered me snacks. I have no clue what I was eating! Some of it was pretty good, others, not so great. At one point she had
