Phew, been a busy week lately, and I haven’t had too much time to do blog posts or anything, so I’m a little behind…

China 2010 – Shopping, Sampling and Sight-seeing in Shanghai – 25-29.05.2010

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…

China 2010 – My Days at World Expo 2010 – 20-21.05.10

A bit late, but there was a lot to sort through, and little time.

So, I spent two days at the World Expo 2010 being held in Shanghai, and here’s what I did there, and what we visited…
Photos of certain buildings at the expo are available here.

China 2010 – Nanjing-ing – 23-24.05.10

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.

China 2010 – Food and Guilin Road – 22.05.10

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.

China 2010 – Going Broke – 18.05.10

Today’s weather was pretty bad… Annoyingly humid, and… foggy? It’s like when it’s supposed to rain, but the rain evaporates before the it reaches the going? It was only 23 degrees celcius I think, but wow…

And, I bought my DSLR today. Phew… I’m pretty much broke now… I haven’t had a real chance to play around with it yet, but once we go World Expo-ing…

China 2010 – Getting Acquainted – 16-17.05.10

Only just managed to gain access to the internet. For some reason, my laptop doesn’t like Chinese Ethernet Cables? And so… I’m using my uncle’s computer.

Days One and Two of my 2010 trip to China, the first day, essentially just the flight to. Planes are so boring…

Daily Life – 09.05 – 15-05.10

Desk shot from the 15th of May. My sister was using my computer at the time, and as we’re changing ISPs, we have no internet at the moment. Also, not sure if you can tell, but the sub-woofer for my speakers is now a big black box on the very end of my desk.
