Well, now I'm inviting you to travel virtually, what? haven't you heard this one before? what I mean is that even though I didn't go to all the places you're about to see in the photos below, the fact is, I went to a place where replicas of those famous tourist spots are found. 'Hey Frank, does it mean you saved both money and time while travelling the world?' -that's what you might ask, and ... Read Full Entry

Hi all! Well, after so many seconds, minutes, hours, months and years of procrastination...-but highly encouraged by a most beloved friend-, I have finally got round to creating my own blog. Wow, I can't believe I'm actually doing it this time! It will be a nice opportunity to get in touch with so many friends that I've luckily gained in my entire '21' years' existence (we all know that's a lie but somehow it makes me feel younger, never you mind, sorry:); I'll be able to share some of the most precious memories of my travel as well as my day-to-day adventures. Let's just hope that my s... full info

Inside the Pyramids, spooky...

looks like Vietnam

I don't know why but though this was not part of the exhibition, it just made me think of Vietnam, wonder why, and don't rack your brains, it's all too trivial for you to spend time on it.

Jurassic Park

You see, Steve, this is the right place for the film. Told ya, mate!!!

the show

Dances again, different types of music while we had our dinner. Nice show.

The Show at night

Splendid performances, we saw some of the most renowned worldwide shows and the dancers were as usual PERFECT. We also did some window shopping, but the prices were too high as far as Chinese standards is concerned.

Some floats

Just like the Disney parade, maybe too much.

My Mum's favourite and my nightmare

When I put my foot in it...

Yeah, I shouldn't have shown this photo to mum; she used her zooming eyes and spotted the towers 'Oh, so the Eiffel Towers are made in Chinal, well, that gives me an idea'. Mum, please...

I am Spanierd and I am planning to move to Shenzhen city very soon, if All Mighty Creator wishes so. And your comments on the city helps a lot. Anyone in Shenzhen city that want to contact me please do so. Yours, Daniel Rostand.

Hi, Daniel. glad you liked the entry, yeah, I've been trying to keep up with the travel writing stuff. Shenzhen is a nice city, you're very lucky, what do you do? I've been teaching in Zhuhai for some time now and so far so good.

Hi, Meg,
One day would do for this park, it is quite huge but if you get early, you can even attend the lovely show in the evening and the nice evening parade. Lots of things to do there and get to visit many virtual places. Have fun and sorry for taking some time to reply.

WOW!
I was googling for photos of Mount Fuji when I found your blog. The place that I feel that I MUST visit during my lifetime is Mount Fuji. Now, I have added this Shenzen park to my list, thanks to your blog post! Btw, did you learn chinese before you go? Because some of my friends who have been there said that it was really hard to find people who can speak English. I am planning to take part-time Japanese language class, before I go to Japan. Damn! Now I need to learn chinese language as well. XD

WOW!
IF you learn Japanese, at least you can understand some of their writing, not totally but some. Good luck on that, it takes ages :(

I'm jealous
Lucky you, going to China, wow, yeah, I had such a lovely experience. I didn't learn good Chinese as I mostly communicated in English for I spent most of my time with English speaking people, big mistake, I know, but what the hell; now that you mention it, yeah, probably it would've been wiser to have learned some kanji, good luck to you and I am sure you'll be more assiduous than me, have fun, thanks for writing
