Wow You went to a much nicer part of Zhaohe than I did. By the way, hard-core photos of the sheep, dude. I didn't stick around when they were corraling my dinner. Nice blog, great photos.
Hong Kong I was in Hong Kong on a family holiday last year. Certainly a nice place but a strange mix of British and Chinese cultures (British road signs!).
The light display on the bay is truly stunning, an entire city lit up in time to music.
I was disappointed by the lack of cheap electronics :-( but I did get a 1W laser pointer for £7. Crazy powerful. No, Jerry, I haven't changed.
We travelled to Singapore afterwards which is a completely different world. What I imagine the British Empire was like in 1800s.
Glad to hear of your adventures.

Andrew enjoyed this,so did I Andrew Sutton will be settling in Shanghai with HSBC in July. Open to receive you once he is in an apartment in August, Jeremy, if you fancy bank chat and some fairly fluent Mandarin speaking! Bryony and I send best wishes, and hope to hear more of your news from your parents.
A sentimental essay I am glad that you have experienced an enjoyable journey to Hangzhou. If you got chance traveling backward to the Marco Polo's time, maybe you'll find a more impressive city with hundreds of Buddhist temples standing here and there as landmarks which have been reduced to less than five now. After all, tour of today's Chinese paradise will not be a waste of time for most travelers when the municipality began pouring billions of yuan into it since 1980s. And your writing is the latest testimonial, bringing me much pleasure. Thank You Jerry. Well written !
Jerry, thank you so much! I'm supposed to be preparing for a 2.5 hour seminar on employment law tomorrow morning and just discovered your travel blogs. Procrastination for the evening complete. It sounds like you're having an incredible time and your updates are hilarious. I've never wanted to visit China so much! Hope the rest of your stay is as amazing as it sounds so far!! Lots of love xxxxx
Check 3, 6, 7, 9 for Japan. I've seen construction workers on the motor way do this before a shift. Imagine blokes in hard hats doing 'the confused gosling'..... priceless.
Nice blog Will follow this with interest. Just in case you think you're the only one with cooling powers, a place near Oxford got down to -17.7C lst night, not far from where your sister lives. Runs in the family, this chilling business. Unless you unplug the freezer, that is....

I had been intending on solely writing my own journal during my time outside the Shires, but I love reading other people's travel stories, so I thought I'd add my penny to proceedings. I've no expectations as to who will be interested enough to read it but I'm guessing my main audience will be procrastinating friends and family wondering where I've bogged-off to and who fancy reading something other than TFL's latest update on engineering works on the Bakerloo line...
For those who don't know I have a 9 month AIESEC internship in Beijing with a Chinese company and hop... full info
