How to visit China
It made me
knowledgeable
 "Interesting, challenging, memorable..."
How I did it: Went to Beijing, Xi'an, Shanghai. Very strange land in some ways...lots of smog, lots of people. People were VERY kind...genuinely kind. Food...not so good to me. Sites are amazing, interesting. I cried on the Great Wall...very emotional...you realize you are so far from home! Met people there who had never met a foreigner. HIGHLY recommend riding BUSINESS CLASS if you can on the airplane...got an upgrade from coach to business class for only $650 the day of the flight and got 6.5 hours of sleep on the way there. On the way back...road in coach...slept 1.5 hours...arrghh...not so fun since it is a 17 hour flight. Also highly recommend hiring a tour guide for an extended trip. Language is an issue... |

Researching.
3 months ago
Over the past week we have been doing some planning and research to enable us to keep costs down and possibly go on a holiday in a few years time. I will continue this research over the next few days and the put a more detailed entry in probably next week. But we are certainly hoping to pull this holiday off in a few years time.

Re-opened Due to Cheaper Airline Prices.
4 months ago
I have re-opened this goal because I am putting it down as one of the places I may travel to in 2011. I am tossing up between Beijing and Angkor. I will go to Beijing first if the holiday is not too expensive. Given that a discount airline called Air Asia has opened up on the Gold Coast where you can fly to Kuala Lumpur and then to a city near Beijing. The price of a trip has been reduced dramatically. So the cost issue may be able to be overcome and we may actually get to Beijing. I have also re-opened the goal of seeing the Great Wall of China because of this new possibility 21/06/09.

I have a neighbor and he just returned from China. He shared his photos of his trip and they were so spectacular that I hope to start saving and hopefully make this dream come true.

Yikes—traveling internationally? Hopefully the problem will reside. But, otherwise, I have my visa + passport and am highly anticipating the trip.
