Finally it’s time to get the hell out of Disney Dodge….I couldn’t be more pleased to reset, exorcise the Disney demons and get this show on the road…or in the air as we are heading to Pudong Airport in a cab to fly to Xian. The airport is a large and intense situation but fortunately […]

WARNING – my loves – there’s going to be some swearing in this post.  Lots and lots of it in fact.  There’s going to be some ranting and raving, a bit of self pity (I’m throwing a pity party actually) and did I mention a whole truckload of F’s bombs will be dropping.  I usually […]

Up nice and early for breakfast with a sinking feeling that I’m starting to get sick.  At this stage it just feels a little like a cold so fingers crossed it moves the hell on quickly. This morning we took a quick metro ride over the the French Concession Area of Shanghai.  This area was […]

Today was a big day of sightseeing.  We started the morning waiting for our private guide and driver to pick us up.  They were late.  If you know anything about me at all – it’s that I’m a total time NAZI!!!!  I’m standing outside the hotel thinking “oh man it’s gonna be on like Donkey […]

Well now that we are finally on our own running wild and loose in China we did what every teenager does when the parents are gone – we slept in!!!!  Hahahaha yep we were exhausted and needed an extra long horizontal life pause before heading out to start to the day. Once we finally dragged […]

It’s finally time to leave our little bubble of Nanjing and head to the big smoke – Shanghai!!!  And when I say big, Shanghai has 26 million people (2 million more than the whole of Australia).  It truly is a mind boggling stat to wrap my feeble brain around that’s for sure. Not gonna lie, […]

One of husband’s absolute fave things is visiting supermarkets when we are in other countries.  Seeing the things that we think are random and weird is such a great insight into everyday life so a local supermarket was our first destination for the day. Apparently the locals are super keen on little packaged snacks of […]

We headed off for another day of adventures.  First we went to buy train tickets for our trip to Shanghai in a few days.  Whilst there I had another “celebrity” moment.  This lady was lined up to get tickets also and she was just so goddamn in love with me – I mean derrr.  Remember […]

After a huge sleep because yesterday was epic and exhausting, we were up and out the door for another day of torture sightseeing.  A lot of the big cities in China, and I guess all around the world where there is lots of pollution, work on an air rating system.  I am not a Rhodes […]

I had told my friend and amazing host, KY that all we wanted out of our few days with her family in Nanjing was to see a fresh food market, maybe a couple of old things, husband always enjoys a visit to a big local supermarket but mostly we wanted to experience what their everyday life […]
