All Ur Dim Sims r Belong 2 Us

Are you:
a) A travel buff whose sole purpose in life bears resemblance to that of a migratory bird
b) A holiday enthusiast who doesn’t have enough money to actually go on one
c) A reader who claims to possess an appetite for travel literature, but actually read them for the pictures of foreign food and foreign women
d) An investment banker who is wondering what to do with his fat bonus cheque apart from purchasing copious amounts of hair cream
e) Someone who suffers from regular attacks of boredom, especially during work hours
If you answered yes to any of the above, bookmark this page and check back here regularly because this blog is going to eventually unravel for the doe eyed travel enthusiast every inch of the mystery that makes up the great land of China. Sure, LonelyPlanet.com is great along with the two billion other online China travel journals out there, but perhaps you find yourself wondering on occasion why the comprehensive stats and facts of big commercial travel sites can’t be combined with the personal affectations and individual perspective of blogs and journals. This blog is here to provide you with all that, plus great info organization and updates as regular as once per day. As regular travellers with Chinese background, we will give you the insider view of China, where the best eats, the best fun and the best hotspots are for your camera and your wallet. For your enjoyment, we will also document our own travel experiences, put up the most entertaining and drool worthy photos and throw in some social commentary on the side. Of course, by social commentary, we mean Dim Sims and congee.
The first city on the list for our next few blogs will be Shanghai, a city of polar extremes where the best and worst of China’s communist regime co-exists in almost eerie harmony. If you haven’t been to Shanghai, you haven’t really been to China – it’s like dating a knockout but never getting to third base. Therefore, check back so we can show you what third base is really like. Our recommendation: Leave your beer goggles at home.
