I’m going to Beijing at the end of the year from late November till early January. From there I’m moving onto Shanghai for a week (or two), then onto Hong Kong for Chinese New Year - and there I’ll be making sidetrips to Taiwan and Macau. I have about forty relatives in Hong Kong, all of whom are eligible to give me red pockets. Mmm, spending money.
The timetable isn’t set in stone yet (plane tickets have yet to be purchased, etc.), but it’s pretty certain that’s what I’m going to do. So just to recap - late November till mid-February I’m going to be fairly absent from the Internet scene. Like last year though, I’ll still be able to jump on once a week or so just to update everyone on what I’ve been doing, but otherwise, Jingwen may very well be dead during that time.
Just in case you wanted to know…and also, to see if anyone else will be in that area of the world during that time. Anyone want to meet up?
I’m jealous. :(
I’d like to go to Beijing for the 2008 Olympics, but unless money rains from the sky, that’s probably not going to happen. Boo.

Envy. I miss travelling in Asia.

Oh, jealous! Hope the red pocket money far exceeds expectations. XD I haven’t been anywhere near Asia for a good ten years now … boo hiss.

I wish I was in Hong Kong around New Years. Oh, the red envelopes.

I really think you should skip Asia this year and come to Europe :P
Sounds cool though, wish I could travel to Asia sometime but work and finances don’t allow it (at the moment anyway)

Hey~ I probably won’t be going to HK this year - I hope to make a stop over tho. I’ll probably be in Europe. But we should meet up after exams instead!! XP (Like we said we would ages ago!)

That sounds like an amazing trip. I am envious.

A very very adavanced note! Sounds good though (for you, not so much us!)

I’m jealous too!
I hope you have a nice trip! :)

Blah, jealousness!
I’m planning on going down to Hong Kong one day, I’m making my mother make me a t-shirt with ‘I don’t speak Chinese’ on it (in Chinese) first though.. you’re pretty lucky. :P
Hope you have a nice time when you get everything sorted and you’re on your way. :P

Wow, just the sound of that makes me feel excited. Shang Hai, Hong Kong, Taiwan and Macau. But November to February? What exactly will I do in your absence?
Anastasia on May 28 2007 #
Sounds awesome! I haven’t been away in ages.
Stacey on May 28 2007 #
Wow that sounds like a great trip, I’d love to go to Beijing, you’re so lucky :)

I’ll miss you :( Can I have you domain redirect to mine until you get back? Since you won’t be using it and all :P
jk, have a good time :) I’m not the traveling sort (I’d rather sit around with my nose in a book, adventure scares me) so I think you’re pretty brave :P

Wow! That would be SO awesome!
Everything there is so much cheaper — it would be fun to shop! Except, in my case (I’m thinking you might be able to relate to this), every top is a little bit too small in the chest area. lol
