Hunan is a rather mountainous place, even containing the stone pillar landscape of Zhangjiajie… It is interesting geologically, but somehow, I did not expect caves – until we visited the White Dragon Cave (Bailongdong).
These sorts of posts are everywhere and oh-so-popular. The ones to tell you the countries you must visit, the cities and sights you must see, the five things to eat and ten things to do.
We have this story in our heads – or actually, these stories – of adventurers and explorers on the one hand, bookworms on the other.
Ideally, though, the two stories actually go together. In microexploration, in particular.
In #microexploration manner, seeking to look closer and learn more, I returned to the Baoning Si Chan Buddhist temple this summer.
Ever thought of a tea picnic outdoors, maybe even during a hike, instead of espresso?
There is gear for that, in the form of Alocs’ Xun Tang (Xing Yun) Camping Tea Set.
I’m back in China. This being the third time I’ve come to live and work here, it feels like a homecoming – and living in China still comes with its own challenges.
Your mileage may vary, of course, but I think I can point to some usual issues. And provide my perspective, of course.
China has recently tightened the rules for China work visa, indeed.
What used to be a little uncomfortable more because it meant dealing with “scary” Chinese bureaucracy (but wasn’t), has become a lengthy and strange process…
Prague. Beautiful city, from all I heard, only too close to Austria. So, I never visited. The Prague Marathon made for a good reason to finally remedy that. And to see the town in a different way from the usual tourist paths.
A part of “microexploration” I particularly like is to think through food. Enjoy it, and consider connections.
Looking for the best gelato in Florence found a connection with one of my least favorite parts of social media, though: the network effect.
