About the only thing better than traveling and learning about other cultures is writing and taking pictures about them.
I do it because it helps me remember the experience, the places, and the people. Later I can relive the moment, laugh at the happy times, or exaggerate the turmoil of travel.
But writing about travel and taking photographs also gives other people a chance to experience the events. They may not have the circumstances to experience the places I've been or they may want to be better prepared for what awaits them should they go.
My focus lately has been China. In 2006 we spent three weeks there. In 2008 we spent a month touring throughout China. Our hope is always to speak Chinese with the people there AND be understood. It's a high expectation.
Hope you enjoy the treks as much as I do.
