Zephyr's Guestbook

Wow
I was wondering how long you'd been living in China and looked up your arrival blogs for this stint :) I'm so glad you detailed your travel and quarantine experiences so well, because even though we lived through all this relatively recently, it already sounds so strange and cumbersome. I like the look of your 'bento box' quarantine meals :)

Local life
I absolutely love these pictures of local life we get in small villages. It makes me feel more connected to a place when I can walk through and observe people going about their day without us interrupting them in any way. And I agree with you, the areas have a very Hue / Hoi An Vietnamese feel :)

On the highway
We often visit the White Rabbit Gallery in Sydney which has been displaying cutting edge Chinese Art for many years. I will always remember my time in the Artists Quarter in Shanghai with Aspiring Nomad. You have some exciting images here, Nenene. I am posting some on TB's "Follow that Road" thread in the Photography Forum as they may be artworks but their symbolism is worth sharing. Check 'em out!

Sunburn
Sunburn is such an annoying part of extensive explorations in sunny weather. When I find myself complaining that it's too hot or too sunny, I ask the question - do you prefer grey skies and no sunburn, or blue skies and possible sunburn? Blue skies win every time! :D Your blue-sky photos are lovely!

Heroes of the Revolution
Fantastic blog. Your street and alley scenes are stunning. Then one stumbles on this one. Words do not adequately express how inspirational this image is.

Remembrance Wall
So many memories...so well presented. Great pic.

Getaway
I love how you caught such a complicated sounding network of public transport; I really think that catching public transport gives you an insight into a place that you wouldn't otherwise get. Those noodles look good! :)

Photowalk
What a great way to get to know an area that you wouldn't otherwise have gone to. I agree with you - in a lot of cases the alleys are much more interesting than the main streets :)

Adventures while it's still cool...
What a beautiful sounding hike. I have done the HK-Shenzen trip a few times in the past; but I never realised you could see HK from Shenzen!

Wow!
What a lovely trail. If you hadn't labelled your photos I would have sworn a couple of them were a partial view of Hong Kong Island from the peak :) I haven't logged into TB for a very long time, so just catching up on blogs now.

Beautiful blog
