I really enjoyed your China post! Sanya sounds really interesting. I spent the Lunar New Year in Korea two years ago and it was so amazing! Your post reminded me of that trip. My blog is looking for travel photos, etc, to share. If you have the time, check it out at dirty-hippies.blogspot.com, or email me at dirtyhippiesblog@gmail.com. Continued fun on your travels!
