Journals

After a month of working back at JP Morgan here in Shanghai during our summer uni holiday, it was time for another break. My mother didn’t quite know what was in store for her when she agreed to come visit in China a week before my dad would join us. J...

Yunnan: Lijiang and Shangri-La

In theory a study week should be used for studying…. In practice, a 5 day holiday in one of the most beautiful parts of China sounded a lot more appealing. With this in mind Julian, myself and a Dutch friend set off for short holiday before I hit the ...

Hangzhou weekend trip

Everyone warns you that traveling during Chinese New Year is not a good idea, but we decided to ignore that piece of advice and jump on the bus to Hangzhou. We arrived on Thursday afternoon after a very pleasant bus ride. Unfortunately you cannot buy r...

Yangshuo

My first impression of Yangshuo was rather cynical – another town whose development had rapidly overtaken the scenery that had given it birth. It only took a couple of days for me to become a convert. After 5 months in Shanghai, Yangshuo was my fir...

Kazakhstan and Urumqi

What a few weeks it has been. Holidays are always a good time to step back and get out of the daily routine we get stuck in so easily. I had a week at home in Shanghai before we headed off to Kazakhstan to visit my parents: prime time to do some th...

China: Shanghai

According to the book “China CEO” there is a saying amongst expats in China “after you have been in China for a week, you can write a book. After you have been in China for a month, you can write a short article. After you have been in China for a year...

Beijing

It was quite an impulsive decision going along to Beijing for a few days. Julian needed to go for a business trip so I thought I'd jump at the opportunity and go along to see what the place was like. I decided to take the train and was pleasantly s...

Zhouzhuang

This cute little river town is a nice day trp away from Shanghai... well worth the visit! The "gondolas" cost a LOT less than they do in venice but are as romantic and a great way to see the old town from the water front....

Hainan

Now that I am a student again, the chances of being invited to the Formula One in Shanghai have decreased to around zero. Still wanting to go and be a part of it all, left me with two options: pay or be paid. A few weeks ago an email went around our MB...

Sunday's River/Addo

Before embarking on a long journey it is always advisable to take some time out to recuperate.... all the better when your parents in law run a wonderful 4* Bed and Breakfast on the tranquil shore of the Sunday's River, three kms from the gate into Add...

Zimbabwe

Some people said we were brave, some said we were stupid, those who knew smiled and wished us luck. Planning a road trip to Zimbabwe is one of those unknowns people don’t really know how to react to. The reason for the madness was that a very good frie...

Knysna

A few months ago Jules came home saying Twenty30 was going to have a weekend away in Kysna as a bit of a fundraiser. The months went by very quickly and this weekend we found ourselves on the plane on our way down to the coast. We arrived on Firday eve...

Lesotho weekend away

When you come over the pass at the gates of paradise Malealea lies before you in all her glory. Hans and I took the mountain bikes off the back of the car and decided to cycle down to the lodge, the cold winter air and high altitude just adding to the ...

Madagascar

Back safely in South Africa after a month of some of the most exciting travelling I have yet done. We arrived in Madagascar not really knowing what to expect from our cycling holiday but got the best experiences along the way. Our holiday started o...
