I am so terrified. I can’t sleep. I don’t know why I am so scared. So scared of uncertainty. I really don’t want to travel alone, but I have to. I must. All is ready and my bag is packed, so I must go and explore. See the different world out there.
Uncertainty. It is the thing that scares us all: stock markets, governments and us ordinary humans. I have no idea what is waiting for me there and I have such a bad feeling inside. The country is so big and I am going there on my own, without speaking their language and with limited resources. …
What still has to be done before leaving: Buy Solar film for Eclipse observation (£18.50). Amazon sells much more expensive (~£30). 3 passport copies. They say it is good to have a copy of the passport while travelling in China. Buy US dollars China map iPod charger Toothbrush, toothpaste Notepad where I can write my notes and …
Thank you all for encouraging me to go to China. I guess it is my destiny haha. I don’t believe in fate, just because I think we make our future ourselves, but maybe sometimes our future can be influenced by others. In this case it is my friends and family. I guess it will be …

Big thanks to Macentosh (his nickname) for lending me his orange sport sack. I really wanted it for my trip! It will go well with my orange jacket veyr well!
So it looks like that I am going to go to China alone. I was hoping somebody else will join or my friend Ruta will change her mind, but it ain’t happening. I am a bit upset, but what can I do? That’s life nd show must go on! People always disappoint you. So I …
So the problem with the tickets in China is that they are all written in Chinese. Good thing it has the origin and destination cities in both English and Chinese, but good luck finding your seat! Also if you want to be sure in which bunk you are, make sure you memorize bottom bunk, top …
At this time in a month I will be in Shanghai, eating Chinese food and all other goodies. I must buy white fungus and other spices for cooking!
