On 3rd May 2009, we arrived via another overnight train in Chengdu at 5:30am, before the city had time to wake up. After dropping off our bags at the hotel, we made our way to Holly’s Hostel down a back lane around the corner. None of us could believe our eyes - the menu offered western food, including bacon & egg rolls. Two of the traveller’s on the tour were celebrating their birthdays & being here for breakfast made an excellent choice for a celebratory meal. I had the omelette with bacon, blood orange juice & green tea - lovely!
Have sold most of my worldly possessions, packed up what was left, flew out of Sydney & am travelling to places far & wide.
What the hell was I thinking when I did this? Just wanted to get out of my comfort zone, experience different cultures, meet lots of interesting people, soak up some international history, & get truly present.
First stop is China for 3 weeks - Beijing through to Hong Kong. Then on to London & Europe in May 09. Then...who knows?
