today we visited the Dong Ping national park just outside of Shanghai. I&#8217;m sure this island will be the next hot spot for Shanghai (and China) travelers and company outings; Why? 
It&#8217;s green, featured great (clean) facilities and we received friendly service for a good price. A quiet forest with lakes, but also activities like [...]]]></description>

I spent some time relaxing and buying clothes in Hong Kong yesterday.

I&#8217;ve spend last night at Mount Mogan 莫干山, the destination of the Spilgames spring outing, is about 250km south-west of Shanghai, close to Hangzhou. Build by missionaries in the early 1900s as a retreat from the Shanghai heat.

Last week we spent some time at Muju (무주) Ski resort in S-Korea. An Average area, with 25km of beginner and advanced ski slopes &#8211; aimed to host the 2010 winter Olympics, including four ski jump&#8217;s, fun park and half pipe. But that wasn&#8217;t what struck me most. It was the export of culture in [...]]]></description>

This weekend we made a small trip of 180km out of Shanghai to see the West lake in Hangzhou China, with 6.5 million people not a small town, but due to the beautiful scenery of the lake and the hillside, it&#8217;s a favorite destination for many Shanghainese.

When people enquire about typical Dutch cuisine, the first thing that pops to my mind is the &#8220;potato eaters&#8221; painting by Vincent Van Gogh. To me, this &#8216;cozy setting&#8217; visualizes how Dutch peasants have been eating potato&#8217;s every day for at least 400 years, in a typical Dutch way. Besides the painting, I was raised [...]]]></description>

Everytime when I return to Korea, the comic graph by Randall Munroe (displayed above) pops into my head.

I have seen some interesting food in Asia over the years. Most interesting dishes were definitely in China. I don&#8217;t want to bother you with the clichÃ© backpack-like stories that hit the blogosphere daily, because eating culture is indeed different here, nothing new, I know.
Instead I want to tell you about how the live-stock, ready-to-be-turned-into-food [...]]]></description>
