Catching up on my Europe Posts… A bit of a chore to be honest… But being there three weeks ago means it’s still somewhat fresh but clearly beginning to miss a few bits and pieces…
To think tht just three weeks ago, I had some beautifully crisp weather with an unseasonably warm 5-15 degrees depending on where I was. And just a week after leaving, it plummets and transforms the place into a winter nightmare. And it forces the closure of a number of ancient attractions…

After a week in Paris with my New Years Eve comrades, it was time to part ways, some for Germany, others for various other parts of France. For me, it was off to the Benelux region, (Belgium, Netherlands and Luxombourg, but no Luxombourg…)

La bonne année!!! from Paris!
Arrived here three days ago, but for the four days before that, I had a stopover in “Asia’s World City” of Hong Kong. My first time overseas that’s not Shanghai or Beijing. So it was nice to explore a city other than Australia, and not exactly ‘China’.

Yes, these are incredibly late, in fact, the World Expo closes on the 31st of October (tomorrow) but, better late then never? Well anyway, back in May 2010, I went and saw the Shanghai World Expo 2010 for two days, and spent half of my time there waiting in lines to enter pavilions. So, here are the photos of some of the beautiful buildings of the Expo 2010. It’s a shame most of them are being demolished/dismantled once the Expo’s over…

So, as I get ready to leave the big city of Shanghai, for my smaller city of Sydney, I spent the last few days just doing some simple things… Nothing to taxing on my age…

So, the past two days, I spent my time in a neighbouring city of Shanghai known as Nanjing. The city is just another rapidly growing city, with many large projects either under construction, or near completion.

Because we went to the Expo on the 20th and 21st, and returning home late on the 19th, I am a bit behind on my photolog.
I also have a lot of Expo photos to sort out. I’ve uploaded what we did on the 20th, but the Expo photos will come later… There’s a lot to write about.
What you see here, is the corner of Yishan and Guilin Roads. A small-ish, local shopping district, close to where I’m staying.
