There are still lots of great stories and pictures from that trip, though I got way behind on my blogging and the stories end abruptly in September, 2007 (I was in Aus until Christmas Eve!)

Dr. Sun(Nationalist Party aka KMT\'s leader) is dead in 1925 in Beijing, and the communists and Russia were his supporter at that time, even Mao was his follower. In 1927 KMT\'s next leader Chiang Kai-shek didn\'t like the communist and Russia, so the two party broke up. and Mao took mainland china in 1949, Chiang Kai-shek retreated to Taiwan.

"My only option really was an overnight train – which wasn’t even from that station and would involve going across town.
