so that's a brief showing of china! I hope everyone is doing well, taking risks and enjoying happyness!!!

yummy endless cups of tea and baba bread with egg and tomato! for breakfast there were only two choice, and even then it was difficult to decide! It was nice though, option a or b... in the owrld today you are faced with to many choices... whitening toothpaste, or whitening with tartar control or sentite teath with whitening... too much time spent making these desicions! Ladies room at a monastary i stayed at... pretty view while you peed! learing kungfoo (i still dont know how to spell that !)
and my kungfoo teacher with his new puppy! He was 8 years old!

drinking some of chinas finnest beers with the pagandas! a nightly event. Lost in Tiger leaping gorge, a greta adventure! Found in tiger leaping Gorge - made it to the top! I realy needed my wonder woman chirt that day! and of course late night BBQ! There are tables and tables of vegetables set out at night and you can pick whatever you want and they grill it up in all these amazing spices! so tasty!

typical china countryside with bycicles and cinderblock houses. Karst formations in yangshuo!!! Met some fun people for lunch and we climbed to the top of moon hill, a climbers dream! My first traditional chinese structure, touristy but beautiful! They still build without nails in the country side!!! and a bike ride with some sweet people through the 'suburbs' of lijiang

christmas day at gatwick airport, arriving in Hong Kong!!! My hostel! So sketchy! some poeple got eaten by bed bugs, I was lucky! and me eating noodle soup to the chagrin of the locals - soup with chopsticks is really hard at the begining!

well, it has been a while, but I am now comfortably living the life of hot showers, regular work, and meeting people on the street that I know! What a life to live! I thought this would be a good oportunity to post some china photos... It's crazy to go through them, I took so many pictures, some of them I haven't even seem yet. But here you are a small photo essay of the china i was witness to...

Incredible that after all the time at museums and cathedrals and streets of many places... it's the people I remember the most. So I supose it really doesn't matter where you are, but who you are with - and that includes being alone with yourself.
