We deboarded our last night train before sunrise in the small city of Zhongwei. A few hours of rest and we were up again and in a van driving through rocky hills and dirt mounds on our way to Chang Tan (Long Beach), a small village on the banks of the Yellow River. A short walk through the tiny village to see the donkeys, goats and a huge water wheel that pumps water into the village, and we arrived at a little hut full of Goat Skin Rafts. These were nothing like what anyone imagined they would be. They were the [View Full Entry]

We flew into Shanghai from Chengdu, only a few hours flight, but what made this journey unique was that after our flight we boarded the MagLev Train; a magnetic levitation train that is the fastest in the world. It’s top speed is 430 kmph, but since we were traveling in the middle of the day it only could go 300. The trip only took eight minutes! Our hotel was located right on Nanjing Road in Shanghai, which is the city’s most famous and crowded, shopping street, so we used our first day to explore and become familiar with the area since [View Full Entry]

Yangshou is a sweet little town in the countryside that, although quite a bit touristy is absolutely breathtaking. The landscape consisted of gorgeous mountains, modest farms and twisting rivers lined with bamboo rafts. All of the shops, bars and cafes were in walking distance of our hotel. Our favorite activity was a half day bicycle ride through the mountains. We stopped and had lunch with a farmer’s family who insisted we try all of the local delicacies, one of which included pork stuffed snails. While in Yangshou we also went Cormorant Fishing (we actually joined a man who had t [View Full Entry]

We have been in China for almost two weeks now. We are on a fast paced tour where train and bus are our main method of transport and the internet is hard to come by and connections are spotty when you can find them, so we apologize for the lapse in our blog updates. We are post-dating this one so it makes more sense chronologically, but will be following it up with another shortly. HAPPY 50TH BIRTHDAY MOM (NIT)!!! Sorry we could not get in touch with you, but Betty looks forward to going on your birthday cruise! Surprise! We arrived [View Full Entry]

Last week was not the best week for Bangkok. The Red Shirts had organized a large scale protest in the city during one of the busiest times of the year, Songkran, or the Thai New Year. They speak out against the current Prime Minister who they think is undeserving of his seat in office. This week it got ugly, though. When we landed in Bangkok at around 11 PM on Thursday, April 9th, it was the first major day of the protests. The airport was packed with tourists who were scared to venture into the city. Those who were willing to [View Full Entry]
