I'm back with new updates from my wonderful vacation to my home country, China! In case you're wondering, "You're a Chinese, weren't you from and familiar with China?" The answer is no. I've never been to China. I was born in Hong Kong. It used to be ruled by the British back in the days before I immigrated to Canada, so I am not all that familiar with their culture and pretty much...everything. But I must say, I'm glad I went and with my family on this 10-day trip through Jacco Tours. We travelled all the way to Hong Kong first, a 14-hour direct flight and then a 4-hour flight to Beijing immediately the next day. Then, we toured around Nanjing, Wu She, Hang Zhou, Shu Zhou and Shanghai by bus (I know it sounds a lot of travelling  back and forth but Chinese people generally like to waste no time, even when it comes to vacation). Although, there was a lot of walking and early morning calls but the fun thing was that we got to travel together with a group of fun and friendly fellows from Canada as well, including a lot of them who are not even Chinese. Seeing how impressive some of them get from understanding the history of our ancient artefacts and architectures, I can't help but to feel proud of my home country.
