Sep 26, 2009 - Adventures!!

We climbed one of the mountains close to Zhuhai. ... There is a core group of outdoor adventurers here in Zhuhai and it was so fulfilling and exciting to find people here in China who love to do something I love to do. ... It is a really different less developed area from Zhuhai and it has a ton of interesting things and different ethnic groups and beautiful scenery and mountains and it's colder there (It's super tropical here) and I'm super pumped. ...

Apr 20, 2007 - To Zhuhai, to look at a possibility for next year, and to exit the country to Macau, so I can re-enter!!

I had decided that I should get down to Zhuhai today, and even though travelling was the last thing I wanted to do, I got myself motivated, and out of here, by about 9. ...
