Title: China Expedition (loads of photos)
Post by: Matthew on April 12, 2013

After a long while I have eventually had a few moments to upload a selection of photos from the China expedition in the summer. Sorry they are not in exact order as they were taken with different cameras. I will eventually get them sorted into groups.

They're fantastic photos Matthew, i love seeing how well traveled folks are on this site. It looks like a complete culture shock and did you recruit any Chinese comrades to Ni-Wild?

They're fantastic photos Matthew, i love seeing how well traveled folks are on this site. It looks like a complete culture shock and did you recruit any Chinese comrades to Ni-Wild?

Ha ha very funny, as you mention it we thought it was funny to ask our interpreter, "where are your nuclear weapons" the very next day she had two chaperone's from the young communist party with her at all times lol.

These trips have given you some fantastic experiences.

I have been spoilt with these, the problem is where to go next. I fancy so many places Peru, Morocco, the "Stan" countries and do the silk route, Everest base camp and perhaps Australia.
