For those with access to my blog, I've posted my first entry. :D :woot:


Nice pics :applaud: !!!
DidnLt you have the impression that all hotel rooms in China are the same?
Btw if you like graphic novels, you might want to check out "Shenzhen" by Guy Delisle (a fellow Canadian). ItLs a dead funny travellog about his 3 month assignment in China.

That's wack.

Hopefully, there was a significant reduction in the tip for that.

In my Blog, I mention how we tried to tip this other waiter at a diff restaurant, and he was almost offended. Apparently in China they frown upon receiving tips.

It's the smog. :bleh: I had previous pics of the stadiums but you could hardly see anything. It was pretty gross.

Cool. Shanghai, Xi'an, and Beijing are all great places to visit. I'm sure things are somewhat different than when I was there.

Some time maybe I'll get around to converting my pictures to digital format.
