Two years have passed since I went on my year abroad as part of my … Continue reading #tbt the china year abroad.. i put some videos together (09/2016)

You think you know China but oh no, you are not even close
I've had this sit in my draft pile for over six months and have decided it's either time to make it a post or scrap it. I'm intending to achieve the former but should this go down the drain... off to the bin it goes. (Although you all wouldn't know this if I hadn't posted … Continue reading You think you know China but oh no, you are not even close
Ningbo: A Video
I have made a video that covers the past five months of my life in China and have included as many international friends as I was able to! It's filled with a mix of events, trips, photos and videos of many different moments through out the five months. Let me know what you think! It … Continue reading Ningbo: A Video
Reverse Culture Shock: Ningbo Style
It has been just over a month that I left Ningbo behind and I don't know about anyone else but I feel like I am in mourning. Yes, I am rather a dramatic person but I have been followed by a little black cloud ever since I left that just takes me back to various … Continue reading Reverse Culture Shock: Ningbo Style
Lisa & Georgie: Parting Ways after our China Travels
So this is just a quick video before Lisa and I went our separate ways in China! Apologies for the awful handling of the camera... I do look rather awful and definitely felt absolutely shattered at this point. I just chose to spontaneously record to remember the moment..! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1jiawocVg9s
China Travels #7: Pingyao (and the place I turned twenty-one!), Wuhan, Ningbo & Hangzhou!
Monday 15th June After having a good a nights sleep as one can get on a hard sleeper that jerks and has a few snoring people and some smokers... We arrived in Pingyao! The directions I had indicated that it'd be easy for us to walk so off we went. Our bags were feeling heavy … Continue reading China Travels #7: Pingyao (and the place I turned twenty-one!), Wuhan, Ningbo & Hangzhou!
China Travels #6: JiuZhaiGou & Xi’an
Thursday 11th June We eventually arrived at the bus station and were instantly bombarded with loads of local women renting hotel rooms for the night. It was incredible. Incredibly bonkers. They are like sharks that circle a victim in cartoons. Once we were off the bus and were waiting for Lisa's Uncle, we watched them … Continue reading China Travels #6: JiuZhaiGou & Xi’an
China Travels #5: Chengdu
Monday 8th June We left the hostel in Chongqing at eight o'clock and headed to the metro. It took us an hour to get to the North Train Station. We had plenty of time (thankfully) because what we were failed to be told was that there are two north train stations. We didn't go to … Continue reading China Travels #5: Chengdu
China Travels #4: Kunming & Chongqing
Friday 5th June One of my preferred cities is Chongqing. We arrived at the airport at around six o'clock and caught the airport shuttle bus to the final stop in the centre of the city. Then we hailed a taxi to take us to the hostel. Sometimes it's rather hard to find hostels because many … Continue reading China Travels #4: Kunming & Chongqing
China Travels #3: Dali
Monday 1st June We stayed at the Jade Emu Hostel which is one of the best hostels I have stayed in terms of their food, services and facilities. The Happy Dragon Hostel in Beijing is still probably better yet Jade Emu was still good quality. I had booked for us to stay in an eight … Continue reading China Travels #3: Dali
