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
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

Hi, Melodies Thanks, it is not difficult to be a good photographer when you have so much monumental material. China offers such contrasts, have you been there?
Hi, Josh, I am so glad that foreigners come to my country and enjoy!!! It is definitely worth it as we have lovely places unknown to many foreigners, it seems that because of security problems, we have not managed to sell our nice package holidays. Now, the big thing nowadays is the cable cars in el parque de Chicamocha, hope you do it one day. Thanks for writing.
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.
Hi, Rido, I am so sorry, I went for a long travelblog break and hadn't actually reread my entries, what a bad boy I am! Sorry for the long delay. I've lived mostly in France, England and China, and then I've visited many countries, it is not a big deal, once you start travelling, I believe you cannot stop. You can do it too.
thanks! Hey, i just sort of stumbled up to your blog but I really liked it. Thanks for the great detail of your trip. I too love the Eje Cafetero. It's a magical place.
just asking

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.

Chinese Porcelain Porcelain,a piece of renowned China art to some extent, is the symbol of China.In the long history, Chinese produced countless porcelain articles for the
practical use or the pursuing of beauty... ...
Known as 'the country of porcelain', China is the homeland of porcelain. The word for porcelain in English - china, has become the short name of PRC
(People's Republic of China), indicating that porcelain is a fine representative of Chinese culture.
Born out of pottery, porcelain evolved from white pottery and stamped hard pottery. Porcelain making must satisfy three requirements: first, the material must
be porcelain stone and clay or Kaolin, containing quartz, sericite and other mineral elements; second, the firing temperature must be over 1,200Ú Centigrade
(2,192Ú F); third, there is glaze fired under high temperature on the surface of the item.
Originally, porcelain objects were made for people's daily use to store and hold food. Later, they were mostly used as decorations.
As early as in the Shang Dynasty (16th 11th century BC), porcelain vessels appeared in Chinese people's life. Porcelain, as it then was, is commonly named
'proto-porcelain', because it was rough both in the body and the firing technology. The firing temperature was also low, with primitive and transitional
characteristics.
The real porcelain vessels were produced in the Eastern Han Dynasty (25 220 AD). At that time most of the northern Chinese moved to the south and
splendid and lavish burial was popular. As a result, Zhejiang Province with its favorable location became the cradle of China porcelain. Up to the Tang Dynasty
(618 - 907), the technology and art of porcelain making had been maturing.
In the Song Dynasty (960 - 1279), came the peak time for porcelain. Porcelain making was developed apace. There were many famous porcelain kilns then
such as Jun Kiln, Ge Kiln, Guan Kiln, Ru Kiln, and Ding Kiln, which were known as the five famous porcelain kilns of the Song Dynasty.
Jun Kiln porcelains made in this kiln are red blue, purple spotted, pure sky blue, or pure moon white, with opal cyan as the keynote. They are opacified with
irregular thin flowing lines on the surface. Their glaze colors are mainly cyan, blue and white, and a few are in rose purple or begonia red. Most of the
porcelain vessels were bright-colored just like the morning sunlight and sunset glow, enjoying fame as 'treasures of the country'.

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.

Let's just hope that my s... full info
