Layang Layang: One island, One resort
After an overnight in KK, we flew to Layang, Layang, a Malaysian Spratly island yesterday morning.
Christine
Born and raised in Brittany, France, I have lived for 25 years in Montreal, Quebec, 7 months in China, 10 years in the USA, one transition year in France, and I am now back in vibrant Montreal, with the desire to spend some summer time in Brittany. I have a small food consulting business, enjoy the world of explorers, traveling (especially in northern countries), graphic/web design, photography, food... and blogging about it. And I LOVE being snowed in...
I believe that happiness comes from finding joy in a simple life, living every moment at its fullest, reaching serenity by staying positive, even when times are tough, and truly caring for loved ones and strangers.
Heading to Spratly!
Xiamen is where we have lived for the past 7 months.
Xiamen Sidewalks
Some tiles (like the yellow ones on the photo) are actually soft, like made of rubber. But why?
Chinese’s Bound Feet
I remember hearing about Chinese women with bound feet when I was young. I thought it was a legend.
Middle of the South China Sea
I am going to be right in the middle of nothing else than... the South China Sea.
Love for Mao
I have not heard one Chinese person mention Mao"s name. I am sure they got an overdose of him for years. But Mao is in the flea markets today... for the pleasure of tourists.
Lantern Festival
Last night we finally went and wandered through the great displays of lanterns not far from our apartment.
Ex-Pats of the World
Fascinating people… whom we have met in the past few months. There is something truly fascinating about being in places like China and meeting all sorts of people with intriguing life stories to share.
The Year of the Rat
The “year of the rat” is everywhere around us… to my great surprise.
Beijing – Getting Ready for the Olympics
We watched a really interesting program on the Discovery channel two nights ago on how Beijing is getting ready for the Olympic Games.
