China 2008 trip

Good day to you all,

As you have noticed before keeping my blog going during the China trip didn't really work out due to either a lack of internet or an abundance of errors in Chinese Characters so both prevented me from updating my blog. However now that I just came back yesterday night and I have decided to make a nice summary of every location that we visited illustrated by photo's as they always say so much more than words.

Below you find a list of locations that we've visited in the past 20 days:
- Shanghai,
- Suzhou,
- Huang Shan,
- Wuhan,
- Xi'An,
- Pingyao,
- Taiyuan,
- Beijing.

The coming days I will sort pics etc. and you will see the updates appear along the week.

Shanghai Report


As you might have noticed, my blog didn't really take off as I wanted. Internet has been a hassle in the hostels, always busy and when it was free the blog gave a chinese error which I could not read and my posts were lost....I'll try to post a few things here and there but forgive me if it doesn't work out....otherwise I will make up for it once I'm back home.

Please enjoy a few of the Shanghai pictures.

Kindest regards,
Jody
