Before I bang on about how good Hong Kong was and how different it is to China, I’m going to give you the low down on some observations we made during our stay. These are of course my opinions only, sorry if I offend anyone. Continue reading →
Hey everyone, just a quick post today. On our first day in China we laid in bed, jet-lagged while the bar below our room played a lovely Chinese song on loop. Most songs would start to grate after a while but this one was so dreamy and lovely it fitted our tired and dazed mood perfectly. We never found out what the song was called. All through China we’d hear it played but no one could ever tell us what it was called or who sung it. We left China quite sad as we thought we’d never hear it again. We’d searched youtube and never found anything remotely like it.
Last night we were sat in a bar in Bangkok and were talking about how we’d never hear the song again. Minutes later some Chinese tourists sat next to our table, one of the guys spilt his beer and some went on my foot and so we got talking. Emma pounced on the opportunity to ask them if they knew the song so she sung it as best as she could, they joined in with her! They told us what the main lyric was so we’ve now found it on Youtube 🙂

How-do’s?! Our last day in Chengdu was a chilled one spent blogging, organising photos and Skyping. Unfortunately when I skyped my mum, we couldn’t hear her, so we had to lip read and rely on her super fast typing to … Continue reading →
