Welcome!


Traveling with almost no preparation can be both challenging and dangerous. This blog is about how I managed to through Asia without much preparation and survived it--and then beyond. After all, how well prepared are we to travel through life? Only with grace of god(s). Thank you!

Food Street, Shanghai


French Quarters, Shanghai

Jade Buddha Temple, Shanghai


Pix taking was not allowed in the Jade Budda Hall, so I took this poster photo of the reclining Jade Buddha.


Outside the temple, actually filled with people begging, and handicapped...

Huge buildings, but what's this cement rock thing on the side of the building in the middle???
