Bai He Camping Trip

Having just come back from my trip to Norway I was happy to hear that Vinnie was organizing a trip to Bai He. Vinne was the only one going that knew what we had in store and as soon as we got there I knew why he was so excited about it. To get there we...

Kjetil visits and we go to Yunnan

Ever since I first came to China I've been dreaming about exploring South China. When Martin (my brother) was here we travel to Sanya the southern most place in China, but it was more of a beach holiday than a true exploring trip. Therefore I jumped at...

5th time on the Great Wall

Mao said that you can't call yourself a man until you've been on the Great Wall. This was my 5th time on the Wall ... Does that mean that I am 5 times the man of someone who hasn't been there ... or do they start to cancel each other out? Is it possible...

First overnight on the Great Wall

After having a great time in Sanya and a few nice days in Beijing, it was time to top off my brother, Martin’s, visit with an overnight on the Great Wall. Though this was my 4th time on the Wall, it was the first time I'd head up there to sleep. Last...

Martin and I enjoy Sanya

SAS gave me a good Christmas present this year … well … indirectly at least. During December they had a Christmas calendar where they sold a new destination at rock bottom prices every day. The result was that my brother, Martin, was able to secure a...

Birthday Party

When you turn 30 you are supposed to have a big party, where everyone makes fun of you for not being married or even engaged. Thank God that's not the tradition in China! Here they just aim at having fun, no matter how old (or young) you are. Funny as...

Mom visits

My mother got a great Christmas present this year: Tickets to go and visit me in Beijing. It was a good present for me too, because it's not every day you get your mom visiting when you live on the other side of the globe. The pressure was definitely...

Turning 30

(Sorry ... only in Norwegian ... This is the answer I sent my brother, when he asked me to write what it felt like to turn 30) Herregud! I dag når jeg våknet opp var jeg blitt 30! … 30 … Jeg var usikker på om panikk ville gripe meg og lurte på hva som...

The Great Wall with Stein and Jeff

1 picture definitely speaks a 1000 words! Believe it or not, but it was many degrees below freezing, so standing with our pants around our ankles was no picnic. I was luckily able to stay somewhat warm running back and forth between the camera while we...
