Ameet and I started this blog in 2009 when we backpacked around India, scroll down to read about some amazing and inspiring experiences in India. I am now off to China and getting this blog re-started by posting blogs throughout my trip IF I can access it in China. China has very strict rules and access to various websites and we will soon find out if our blog is one of them! If it is, bon voyage and you won't hear from me for a while, if it does work YIPEE you'll hear all about my amazing time in China.
My friend Michelle is also very bravely joining me for the first couple of weeks in China so stay tuned for some interesting (and entertaining) posts about our experiences. Below are the rough details for my trip;
16 Nov 11pm (zzzz) fly direct via China Southern airlines from Auckland to Guangzhou which is in southern China. I have 4 days in Guangzhou then fly direct to Kunming in the Yunnan Province on 20th Nov where I am studying for 4 weeks at the Yunnan Normal University on scholarship. Kunming is south west in China. Then on the 16th Dec fly direct to Beijing in the north to have 4 days of sightseeing. 20th Dec I fly to Guangzhou and then home to Auckland, arriving on the 21st! I will be having lots of afternoon, day and overnight trips to various places in China while I am away so stay tuned!!
