29 March 2012 Welcome to Shanghai the city that means rain. It is day 1 in China after a grueling 24 hours of traveling from Wisconsin, USA. I woke to find a gray and rainy day somewhere around 17 celcius. I traveled Asiana airlines from Chicago ... Read more >

TravelPod encourages its contributors to come up with clever blog titles, but I'm starting to run out of ideas for Beijing (I’d considered "I Want You to Play with My Beijing-a-Ling" for this entry) which makes it good that I’ll be leaving ... Read more >

I've never been the type for tour groups. On many occasions since I’ve been here, I’ve seen a herd of doe-eyed day-trippers in tacky hats and sweatshirts (that usually say something like "A Meeting of Cultures: Beijing 2012") following someone ... Read more >

As I mentioned before, I'd been told I made the rookie mistake of booking too much time in Xi’an, a city considered "boring" by Beijingers. However, I really can’t complain, as the last couple of days have been my most relaxing in China so ... Read more >

Last night was the best sleep I've had since my trip began, and the first time my alarm clock went off before I woke up and not the other way around. After a not-so-great cup of coffee (China is definitely a tea-oriented society) I walked the mile or ... Read more >

It wasn't until I finished up my last blog entry to burrow down in my berth that I realized this was the first time I’d ever been in a train sleeper car. One of many firsts I’ll have on this trip, I suppose. I found it funny that even ... Read more >
