• My Chine Experience - Patrick Franco
  Globaled.org - The Beijing summer heat made it hard to breathe as I entered the infamous Tiananmen Square, the" Gate of Heavenly Peace." A relic of Communist propaganda behind me read "Devote Great Efforts to Building up our Socialist Spirit and Civilization." People sped by on bicycles ignoring the obsolete piece of advertising for a political system that was quickly losing momentum and membership. As I continued through the Square, I noticed a little boy about the age of ten urinating in front of Chairman Mao's mausoleum. What was China coming to, I thought, when a little boy would be urinating on one of China's most beloved leaders' grave site?

• Blanchard's Oriental Travel Journal - Hong Kong, China
  I always try to fly into Hong Kong around sundown. One of the great views of the world must be flying into Hong Kong as the sun sets over the South China Sea and the lights start to illuminate all the apartment windows and the neon starts flashing on Hong Kong Island and Kowloon. Tonight was no exception. The steep right hand turn to line up with the runway and the fast deceleration as the captain tries desperately to avoid us disembarking into Hong Kong harbour. While Penang in Malaysia has stolen the term, it is never so obvious when flying into Hong Kong why this place deserves to be called "The Pearl of the Orient".
