Tai Loooong Wan

Me and Kevin and his bro and sister in law hiked Tai Long Wan, on the NE coast of HK.  On our way back, we realized maybe we didn't have too much time before sunset.  So a guy at the one village we passed (shown) called us a taxi and said, "Go straight for 45 mins.  It will be there when you get there." We didn't know where we were going, and no flashlight.  So we justfollowed  instructions and actually had to start jogging back b/c it was getting so dark.  No cell phone reception.  Fruit consumed. Water drunk.  Thankfully, we had just enough light to make it to the pagoda, where, sure enough, the taxi driver was waiting for us.  Props to the village guy, wherever you are.

BeiBei JingJing

Some Beijing pictures.  I went with my friend Kevin, who is an exchange student like me.  Pretty much a great guy and great travel partner.
