Monkey and Bear - Studio 21

We like to travel around the world, We have been many times in the USA, Thailand (8 times), many countries in Europe, Israel, Singapore, Malaysia, South Africa and Hongkong. Our hobbys are digital photography and video. We also like oriental cooking, gardening, collecting minerals and playing golf.
Last year, in autumn, we went for the first time to China - Beijing (Peking). A great place to be - lots of historical sites, very good food, nice people and lots of fun.
Now by the end of April 2007 we are going back to China for more adventures, meeting new people and new experiences. This time we will stay in China for a month. So if you like you can follow our adventures here on this great travelblog.

So stay tuned for new traveladventures.

Dagelijks verdwijnen er oude historische en culturele gewoonten van de straat. Het 'dagelijks uitlaten van de vogeltjes' z [View Full Entry]
