| 24th September 2009 Carissa | Amazing - From: "A Perfect Day" on Lantau Island Thanks so much for that Shelley-Ann. Great writing. At times I felt like I was there with you. Also had a few chuckles. I think you may have been a little depressed on your first day ing BJ?? Glad the trip ended on a better note than it started. |
| 21st September 2009 ShelleyAnn | Yep - subway was cheap! - From: Finding Peace in the Forbidden City But you had to know where to get off and what exit to take. I got out at the wrong exit once and ended up far away from where I was supposed to be. |
| 21st September 2009 Sue | Preferences - From: Finding Peace in the Forbidden City Interesting that you liked the Forbidden City more than the Summer Palace -- I was the complete opposite. Maybe because it was SOOOO hot when I visited, and the Summer Palace had water around it (which made me feel cooler)? I don't know. I do however fully understand about the people pushing and the rudeness. (In face, I laughed when I read that.) Glad to hear that the stink-eye and the shoving back didn't cause anyone permanent damage. As for the subway, I took it when I was there too. Not so bad! Definitely cheaper than a taxi. Wish the TTC was about the same price! (28 cents about right???) |
| 20th September 2009 ShelleyAnn | The camera mall - From: ...and other adventures Actually, I went to a different camera mall, one on the top floor of a building where all they sold was tea. The polarizer was only $16 (not B+W, obviously). |
| 20th September 2009 ShelleyAnn | No way, Jose! - From: ...and other adventures Oh, no.. I didn't eat any of the creepy crawlies. I did eat one beef thing, though. It tasted alright, and I didn't get ill afterward. |
| 19th September 2009 Sue | Beautiful night shots! - From: ...and other adventures I wonder if the camera fair you went to is the same place I went to? However where I went to buy my 72mm CP filter for cheap was in a camera mall -- hundreds of stores that sold equipment.... I bet the location is still in the guidebook! Your Tianmmen Square night shots look fantastic. I only ever got there in daylight -- the night shots look so much more impressive! And please tell me you didn't actually eat any of that street meat.... :S |
| 19th September 2009 Sue | Awesome - From: Climbing the Wall ... Looks like you had an awesome day for the Wall. Great photos too! Did you see any of those crazy vendors lugging coolers of cold water up and down the wall, just waiting to find a desperate tourist to sell it to? |
| 19th September 2009 ShelleyAnn | Thank you! - From: Double Happiness in a Single Jar (Without Facebook)? Impressions of Beijing Your comment meant a lot :-) |
| 19th September 2009 ShelleyAnn | You must be Psychic or something - From: Macau -Naples Lite (And a Bit of Paranoia) Oh, they were bigger alright.. but bigger isn't necessarily better ;-) |
| 18th September 2009 Tim | ferries - From: Macau -Naples Lite (And a Bit of Paranoia) You afraid of ferries! I didn't know that :) Were they at least larger than the one I took you on :) |
| 18th September 2009 Sue | Too funny! - From: Three Penny Opera - Beijing Style. ‘ The opera sounds hilarious! Such a convoluted plot and really ridiculous! Sorry to hear that you're having a harder time in Beijing; I remember being stared at because of my blond hair and physique. Not fun. I hope that you have a great time at the Great Wall tomorrow, and happy birthday! Take lots of photos, and don't let the vendors sell you anything overpriced. Cut down their prices to a fraction of what they asked and be prepared to walk away. :) |
| 18th September 2009 jingjing | - From: Double Happiness in a Single Jar (Without Facebook)? Impressions of Beijing Everything has two aspect,see the good one. Be confident and positve. Enjoy in China |
| 15th September 2009 ShelleyAnn | The humidity has dropped - Thank God!! - From: Outrunning Koppu -The Peak One of the good sides to the Typhoon is that the humidity has dropped. It was horrendous. Luckily, I have air conditioning in my room. |
| 14th September 2009 Sue | Great Photos! - From: Outrunning Koppu -The Peak Beautiful night photos of Hong Kong from the Peak! Sounds like you're having a great time, despite the humidity. Hopefully a/c is easy to find.... |
| 14th September 2009 Erick | Macau - From: Macau -Naples Lite (And a Bit of Paranoia) I have friends there, the humidity is brutal there, that's the one thing they say about it, absolutely brutal. At least your having fun Shelley. |
| 11th September 2009 Sue | Asian bathrooms - From: Hong Kong: Getting Settled In Glad to hear that you arrived safely! Don't worry about wetting the floor in the bathroom. I don't think you're meant to keep it dry. Hope you brought a pair of flip-flops or something! Looking forward to hearing more about your travels as you go. :) |
