Geo: 37.5323, 126.957We walked through the streets and there are so many arty and cool things just on the side of the road. INSA-DONGAnother little artsy place with a shopping complex that has no stairs but is about 3 stories high. The shops are all on a slope so you don't really realize that you are going up this slight slope until you reach the top floor. It's really very special. ... read more

Geo: 52.3738, 4.89095Friends. We are really lucky to have great friends that now live in Amsterdam. We knew them from when they also lived in Nanjing.It's fantastic when you know someone in the country. You don't have to worry about how you are going to get to your hotel or even need to worry about a hotel for that matter because you are staying with your friends. I am-sterdam. We were collected at the airport and then off we went first to their place and then for a quick walk around the area and to get food. Wow. So much food to try. Cheese, chocolate, bread, artichokes. A bit random but that's what jumped out at us. After dinner we caught the tram into the city center where my friend was teaching a photography class. We ... read more

Europe » Italy » Veneto » Venice February 13th 2016

Geo: 45.4345, 12.338413th February VENICE We caught the train from Padua to Venice. It was only a half hour train ride away so it quite easy to go just for the day. It was cold and very windy but Venice is always beautiful no matter what the weather is. I am a little spoilt because I have been to Venice about 10 times, over a number of years but the first time is like Christmas morning. You are in awe of its beauty. The gondolas and the canals with the endless bridges at the every step there is a photo opportunity. I find the first time I visit a city I take all of the usual touristy photos. But if I return to a city I find that I start taking photos of the unusual and ... read more

Europe » Italy » Veneto » Padua February 2nd 2016

Geo: 45.4096, 11.87662nd February 2016 PADOVA Padua is such a beautiful city with so much history. My son is living here so I have come for a visit.His apartment is tiny but family is family.There is always room for family. The cobble stone streets just scream out History with every step. I have this strange connection with this city. One of the shops a that sold stationary is called Prosdocimi. Almost my surname. Then in the church there was a statue of St. Prosdocimo. One night as we where driving through the old streets of Padua, I spotted a street sigh. "Ah," I screamed. Everyone in the car jumped out of their seats and got a fright. "What's wrong? What's happening?" They all asked. "The street is called San Prosdocimo!" "Is that all?" They all sighed. ... read more

Geo: 7.87305, 80.7718We left Nanjing 23rd of December to Colombo, Sri Lanka.Our Beach hotel was an hour drive from the airport.Negombo beach was beautiful and to the north of Colombo.The city centre was a 15 minute tuk-tuk ride. The centre is very colorful with lots of street venders selling everything you could possible need.There was a series of restaurants behind the Hotel which felt like you were eating at your Aunty's place. Very relaxed and great food.Christmas day we went for a sail on the local sail boats and we fished.That afternoon we ate what we caught with a local family. Very strange but special at the same time.In Dambulla we visited the Rock Temple and the Golden Temple where you will see so many monkeys. Beware as soon as they see food they will try ... read more

Geo: 24.45, 118.08Xiamen has a crazy street market that is filled with all kinds of sea life and other animals both dead and alive.The city is made up of islands, one of which, Gulangyu, is peaceful with a huge statue at the far end of the island, The Organ Museum, An Old Fort, and it has lots of scary and spooky houses.The island is completely of cars.We rode a local bus for 3 and a half hours, one way to Tulou to see the Round and Square houses. We met a lovely old man who was waiting under an old tree to have his photo taken with foreigners.We slept in a Square (round) House.Took a tour of the amazing Round Houses and I must admit that I did say, "They are so round."
