China

I've just returned from three weeks in China, my present to myself to mark the end of my most recent job

Wow, I love that people are out dancing and socialising at all hours. Community win!

Probably helped by "personal housing fail"!

It does make more sense to have small personal spaces and large communal ones.

This is hilarious.... As a Chinese, what I appreciate the most is your openmindedness and not putting any labels onto our culture. I hope you enjoyed your trip in China and have learned a lot!!

I absolutely enjoyed it and would love to return! Three weeks isn't anywhere near enough for such a big and diverse country.

There were so many questions I couldn't ask because of the language barrier. All I could do was watch and wonder!

Thanks for posting your China series of pictures and commentary, its been fascinating! I love armchair travelling.
In Vietnam they do the same thing in parks and public spaces - lots of groups or families doing classes or playing games. I liked the lack of generation gap there, people of any age go out for the evening. It felt very communal and safe.

Vietnam is on my list!

Thank you for the update and welcome home! What a fascinating trip.

Fascinating is the right word. It was so much more interesting than sightseeing in Europe, enjoyable as that is! You may have found the same when you went to Japan.
