Food Poisoning and a Change of Pace

The past two weeks have been a mix of ups and downs. At the end of week one we made a visit to the great wall. It was as amazing a spectacle as I imagined although the constant stream of American/European tourists and people selling "I climbed the...

Nihao from Beijing!

The Countdown: First Aid, Fears and Souvenirs

9 Days till take off ... I have put off writing until now, in the hope of avoiding portrayal of my uncertainty about leaving Scotland, 'the land of iron bru and haggis', to spend two whole months in China the 'land of fried chickens feet'...

A selection of musings and experiences from Shanghai
