Note: This will be a two-part post. I don’t want to overwhelm you all at once with our goings-on in Yangshuo. One of my favorite activities that we have experienced so far has been the Li River Cruise that we took to get from Guilin to Yangshuo. The Li River is one of China’s most […]
In the beginning of our trip, Jason had this strange rule of wanting to order something “weirdly Chinese” and “crazy” at every meal. He seemed to abide by this rule for most of our meals for a while. For him, this was his way of really experiencing the unique culture of China; by eating things […]
Last Monday, Jason met a guy at our hostel who was looking to get a group of people together to go on a surfing trip. He (who on a side note was biking through Asia by himself) was looking to get a good deal from the hostel for surfboard rentals and lessons if he could […]
We figured our parents readers would want to know what a normal day is like for us since we left the good ol’ States. So far, our days here in Asia have been pretty similar to each other, so here is a basic illustration: We sleep as late into the morning as our little hearts […]
Eating out here is always an “experience”. People rarely speak English and if they do, it’s typically very limited. I just came back from lunch and while today’s lunch experience is pretty standard, I thought it’d be fun to share today’s adventure. With my English-to-Mandarin translation book in hand, I ventured out on my own […]
Immediately after crossing the border from Macau to mainland China, Jason and I noticed that we were in Kansas no longer. In Hong Kong and Macau, many of the people spoke at least some English, always enough to communicate with us. Since we entered mainland China on Tuesday night, however, we have been experiencing many […]
Greetings from a somewhat frightening bus bound for Guangzhou, China. The bus driver seems to have a tendency to honk violently at people on their mopeds while he nearly runs them over. On a more pleasant note-we left Macau with money still in our savings account and actually won a little gambling! A shout out […]
I have never seen more escalators in my life. I wonder if there is some sort of statistic regarding escalators per square foot of a city? Matt, any info to share? Hong Kong even has the world’s longest outdoor escalator that takes you through tiny streets with tons of shops and popular restaurants. Interesting. There […]
Our thirteen hour flight into Hong Kong was not as bad as I was anticipating it to be. I ended up watching four movies, sleeping for a couple hours, and writing a post. Jason might have slept for a few minutes towards the end, but for the first twelve hours he was incredibly productive (who’s […]
