First China Trip

October 2007
We could not have had a better trip in China. We went to the beautiful cities of Guilin and Yangshuo to relax on the Li River, shop, and eat. This town had everything you could want to do each of these.
We attended light shows with 2000 performers. We biked to a giant cave and swam in the mud! Every meal was excellent.

We went on to Xi'an to see the Terra Cotta Warriors. The walled city was amazing. More polluted than where we are from but the ancient look was worth the trip.

Shekou, China

We live in Shekou, China, a sub-district of Shenzhen, just across the water from Hong Kong. It is a busy city with lots of commercial shopping. Our area is filled with restaurants, bars, stores, and massage parlors (some legit, others not). The weather here is extremely hot and humid in the summer and it rains a lot. Then in the winter, it cools nicely and the palm trees are nice.
