Christmas in China |

Christmas in China

Traveling can get addictive. I have been traveling my whole life and I don’t think I will be stopping anytime soon. There is too much out there to see and be a part of so why stop at one destination? I am in Korea now and time is winding down on how much time I have left on my contract. And since I don’t want to waste any of that time, my need to explore has intensified. So, for Christmas and New Year, I have decided to go to China. I could have went home to see my family and friends but after looking at those flights to U.S and Brazil, my wallet started screaming. So I decided to go to Beijing with some friends.

Excited

We leave in four days and I am excited although I haven’t packed yet. We are going to see the great wall of China, the terracotta warriors and many other historical sites. I will be taking lots of pictures so stay tuned. We will be going by boat. Not that flights are too expensive because they are not, but we just want the experience of going to China on a boat. It’s a 14 plus hour boat ride, but I am taking lots of books to keep me busy. I have to say though, this is definitely one of the perks on being an ESL Teacher in Korea.

Why not?

Being in Korea is a perk because you are close to Japan, China, Thailand, Taiwan and other Asian countries. This makes traveling very convenient. Although I wanted to visit Japan first, China is just as good. I am hoping I will get another vacation long enough to visit Japan before the end of my contract. I already have plans to visit Thailand and Taiwan because just spending a weekend in either of them would satisfy my interest and then if I like it, return another day. Stay tune for more updates and pics of China from the boat ride to the return.
