I LOOOOVE to travel. Not so much the getting there (unless I travel business, which is rare but happens when it's work) part as the hey, I am here in one piece part . Some places you can have a clear idea of what to expect, having seen it so many times on TV, in magazines, etc. And some places just totally blow you away with the sheer awesomeness of it all ...hmm, wonder if there is such a word as 'awesomeness', ha!

China gave me myriad impressions and experiences...Beijing was huge, I knew Tiananmen Square would be huge but I was still amazed at how big it was. Maybe it was the nearby red walls of the Forbidden City that gave it the eerie feeling of being in a film or maybe it was the huge buildings around the Square, including the Great Peoples' Hall (I think that was what it was called). I was bummed that I didnt get to take pics of people flying kites one sunny winter morning when I was there, but my camera jammed at the most inopportune moment. Sigh. But I did get a few in the Forbidden City and along the wall near the main road. That's one of my faves, hope u guys like it too.

I also managed to visit Lyon, France this year. Saw this lovely statue and thought what a great reflective moment it was, and it was right after we visited the roman theatre ruins and leaving the hill where the church was (Fourvière, I think it's called, apologies if I am wrong 0) ).

Dreamy sigh...wonder where I will go next....!
