Qingdao (青岛) Holiday day 4
Continuing from Day One, Two, and Three: Here’s day Four. Highlights include BEER STREET! Day four we planned to do some beer stuff (I’ll let you guess if Day Four was planned by me or B…) Firstly, we decided to go to the famous Qingdao Pier. If you look on a bottle of Qingdao beer (available in the UK, dontyaknow) you’ll see as part of their logo they have a blue and white picture of said pier. Being a fan of Qingdao beer before even coming to China, this meant it was kind of a graceland to me…

Continuing on from part one. Here are the photos from Day 2, which include a trip to the aquarium, a dinosaur park and a small “snack street.”

Watching England Vs. Slovenia
First off, Happy Birthday to my old man who turned 48 on Thursday, and Happy Birthday to me, I turned 24 yesterday! I’m half his age now — but not half as handsome. 🙂
Last week we went to watch the crucial England game against Slovenia. I invited some of my Chinese friends to drum up support. We went to watch it on west 2nd street, which we dub “barbecue street” because there’s a bunch of outdoor barbecue restaurants — win! Here are the photos…

Qingdao (青岛) day 1
So, back in May holiday, myself and B headed to Qingdao (青岛) for a 5 day break. It was an awesome time, and I’ll present it to you in a day-by-day manner. Here’s the action from day one!

Spring is here
So, way back in April, I went on a photoshoot with my Weinan Oak Tree photo club friends. I never did post the photos, so here they are!

New toys :)
So, after much effort, and some strange delays, some parcels finally arrived from England allowing me to build my new computer. Also, after selling my car in England, and feeling a little depressed, I decided on some retail therapy and treated myself to an early birthday present: A Canon 5D Mark ii. It’s a beast of a camera…
