i know i know, i haven’t updated my blog…
but this is news too exciting to not mention a bit. I will be going traveling to china with my mum to visit my aunt and self tour china! man, takes lots of planning… but if the plan works, i will then at least have some experience on self-tour. (not exactly back-pack, but close to) And i now know how important TAGS are… because i found information through google -> arrived at people’s blog -> and got great info.
so i hereby, shall want to credit some of the sites that helped me plan, what to expect, what to try out and such: (hopefully my plans will turn out okay)
Maps: okay, the maps are not so great… but at least i can find some! O_o some terrible resolution but ah well better than nothing, remind me to get maps from china…
http://www.maps-of-china.net/index.html
there are maps of china, provincial, district and city maps… important if u want to plan your route from one place to another and navigate through the city (though i believe we can just get maps when we reach there)
