After leaving the comforts of Shanghai, I was off on yet another train to Huangzhou, just 2 hours South of Shanghai, to explore the quaint splendors of the lakeside town which had been recommended to me by MANY travelers I had met along the way.

I've finally finished my big Asian trip and have about 9 blogs left to write. So far I've covered Japan, Mongolia, China, Hong Kong, Macau, Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia, but stay tuned for Myanmar, Thailand, Malaysia, more Japan and London! I'm just getting settled back into life in Canada now, so wait patiently for the last few blogs. Especially Myanmar...that was quite an 'interesting' couple weeks... ... full info

Did you learn any Chinese?
yeah, learning and speaking foreign language is fun! did you practise speaking Chinese with the Chinese people too? Surely, reading is not a problem for you, right? Love p/s if you miss it, you still can speak Chinese with Malaysians. Of course, Malaysian version of Chinese!

How about west lake?
I went to West lake three times and feel it's so-so, except in night. You should went to see the Quantang-tide also. There's only 32km from Hangzhou city and just 3 yuan at bus's ticket. And it's really great!

Culture invading
I like the phrase "culture invading" for sure. I does sound a bit harsh, but it is kind of what travellers do, essentially. Your dad is right about "culture sharing" though, because it sounds like you spread culture wherever you went with your multiple languages and friendly nature. I've gotta say Huangzhou looks very cool. I'd like to go there.
