The Great Wall of China. All recommendations be damned, we did it easily for $1.60 round trip for travel, and $4.50 each for admission. No jade shops, no crappy tour guides. The 12 hour tourist: we came, we saw, we left.

The Buddha’s Birthday

To celebrate the Buddha’s Birthday we visited the Tian Tan Buddha, the largest in the world (for now), and Po Lin Mon monastery on a foggy afternoon on the mountain.

The 12 Hour Tourist: London

New camera (and very post-call)!
