China: To Live Is To Eat (& Drink Tea)!
22nd May 2006

***this album will be rearranged soon***
--------------------------------
this is my first ever trip to China and I got struck really bad with a respiratory infection (intense pollution!) already on the third day. From there on it only got worse. By the time I got to Shanghai I could barely breathe, still I managed to have fantastic holiday. Tibet is the best part, Chengdu has the best food and prices, Shanghai is the worst in terms of food/pollution/price/being accosted by people wanting to sell you crap constantly/everything/EVERYTHING! Peking is nice and expensive but it has a number of ancient sites, 2 of which i found astonishing (the Great Wall and Forbidden City).

China is fantastic is so many ways. The more I see the more I want to see. So, same time next year! :)
