Walt Disney World

A short overview of a once in a lifetime trip.

Wild Pear Cafe

The act of hating on the state of Sydney's public transport seems to be a popular pastime, especially on r/Sydney. Perhaps I am in the minority, but I genuinely don't believe it is as terrible as it is made out. Sure, there are cities with a better transportation system. But is it the worst? Far from it. And so off I went to catch public transport to Wild Pear Cafe. Yes, it took me 3 different transfers (bus - metro - bus) and understandably a lot simpler to drive to the cafe.

Central Coast

Despite the Central Coast's proximity to Sydney, it's an area that I have rarely ventured to.

Beijing ii

One overnight train from Harbin and we were back in Beijing.

Harbin

Harbin, the capital of Heilongjiang, is famous for the International Ice Festival held in January every year.

The Great Wall: Jinshanling

A trip to China would be incomplete without a visit to the Great Wall. During the planning stages, I knew that we didn't want to go to Badaling or Mutianyu which can get quite crowded with the tour groups. However, due to time restrictions, we could only visit a section that was accessible as a day trip. Jinshanling met all our requirements, including being accessible with local transportation (aka without a driver or taxi).

Beijing i

Beijing - the capital of the People's Republic of China.

Shanghai

Is it embarrassing to admit that I didn't know much about Shanghai apart from pan fried pork buns, xiao long baos, the Bund and the fact it is a financial hub?
