“Traveling is a brutality. It forces you to trust strangers and to lose sight of all that familiar comfort of home and friends. You are constantly off balance. Nothing is yours except the essential things - air, sleep, dreams, the sea, the sky - all things tending towards the eternal or what we imagine of it.”-John Stole

CHINA

I plan to fly from Manchester on the 2nd of July using Emirates Airline stopping off at Dubai for 10 hours before finally reaching Beijing.








I will Arrive in Beijing on the 3rd of July with Chen and will be staying with him until i leave china on the 6th of August.


While in China I plan to pick up a cheep netbook that i can use for bloging during my journey as well as a camera and a solar pannel charger.

my aims for my time in China are to:
1) experience a completely different culture and way of life.
2) meet new people and to see amazing sights
3) have a fun time and chill out celebrating the completion of my exams and the start of a life changing gap year.

i also plan to pick up a guitar while i am in china to take with me on the rest of my gap year.











I hope to see alot in Beijing, especially the Forbidden city and the great wall and i hope to try real Peking duck!!


then at the end of July I fly to Thailand, Bangkok then to Phuket.
