Our tour bus drives past huge areas of yellow-dry scrub and grass which morph to and from incredible desert-like dunes of sand.

I&#8217;ve arrived in Kathmandu after nearly two weeks spent crossing Tibet. It&#8217;s been an amazing journey, sometimes exhilarating with off-road driving through incredible terrain, but at other times difficult and sad because of the conditions of abject poverty faced by so many people. And that&#8217;s without even mentioning the political situation in the region. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Kaohsiung is brilliant place to live.
The city has got a great buzz and has improved dramatically over the past 10 years since they had a very popular and successful mayor who cleaned the place up. It feels like one of those cities that has come of age and is really on a buzz, whereas Taipei, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[For my first week in Taiwan, I decided to visit a holiday spot called Kenting. It is known as a party town and is the site of some of the country&#8217;s music festivals and beach parties. It is on the Hengchun Peninsula at the south of the island and is a really beautiful area. Here [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Getting the boat to Jinmen is a great way to enter Taiwan from China. You are immediately placed where the line of attrition was drawn between the Chinese Nationalists and Chinese Communists at the end of their civil war. This island is it. Even though it is only 2km from the mainland (and probably some [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[At Zhuhai, I was the only person around, a total contrast to the swarms of (mainly Chinese) tourists at Hongcun.  After an hour&#8217;s walk along deserted forest paths between towering bamboos, I spotted the village between the leaves. Take a look at the pictures below to get a taste of this remarkable place.

It is a beautifully preserved Huizhou village and an amazing place to spend a couple of days. Check out the pictures below and see for yourself.

The city&#8217;s Old Street (Lao Jie) is a pedestrianised street through the town centre that is filled with souvenir shops that gives it a rather artificial feeling but the quid pro quo for the large volume of other tourists is [...]]]></description>
