I was in China

Zhang Jia Jie, Chang Sha and Guang Zhou- those were the places I visited over 5 days.

3 nights were spent at Zhang Jia Jie. A very cold and scenic place.

Having been to 4 different parts of China to date- Zhang Jia Jie, Chang Sha, Zhao Qing, and Guang Zhou; it's interesting to see how each of this place offers a different side/face of China. The people and livelihood varied very distinctively from one place to another. It leaves me curious of all the other people, culture and places in this huge country.

Most of the photos taken were scenic, and were very poor representation of Zhang Jia Jie. Standing among the hills left me with a sense of awe. From one place to another, it echoed just how beautiful is the work of God's hands. I am pretty sure that this is not the most breath-taking place in the world, but to know yet again that my God is fully able of such magnificence is beyond full comprehension.

I met quite a few people on the tour too. Here are some of the the ladies I got acquainted with.

From left: Vivian, Sharon (who was also my room mate), and Jane.

A distant relative was also joined the tour, and she brought along her 6-year old grandson- Min Han, who is also my nephew.

He was the only kid on the tour. A rather charming boy, he could pass as a Chinese national. :P He was very enthusiastic photographer. I have to get some of them pictures from him, as I couldn't take much on mine (limited memory space).

Also, I got a pair of gloves there for 20RMB. It had a face stitched to the back of my hands. I like it heaps. :)

I am hoping to travel more next year. Budget travels, like to Cambodia, Vietnam or even China. I already have one travel partner, who makes more than a dozen trips every year. Anybody else want to come with?
