Flash Back: Tour Asia, June 2011

Cannot believe it's already been three months since I toured Asia: S-Korea, Taiwan, HK, China. It was a good trip, colorful experiences, good travel companions, great learning opportunities, and also meeting up some friends + relatives. Since I've promised to put some pics here, now I must fulfill my promise before continuing with new blog posts about recent thoughts and experiences.

So, here we go:

First stop was S-Korea, and this little cute decoration was found in a nice local restaurant. The name Jesus is well known for many S-Korean Christians, though I don't know what the little chicks are doing in the thing. Anyhow, cute.

Between the working days I had opportunity to climb a mountain near the hotel we stayed at. It was a nice recreation area and there was literally water flowing from this rock, and one can take a nice drink of the cold fresh water. What's amazing is that the water kept flowing, since it was natural and the spring upstream is producing water, it just can't stop flowing. :) Can't help remembering what Jesus said, that whoever believes in Him, out from those people will flow a stream of living water. If the spring is not dry, nobody can stop the out-flow! Refreshing, stunning, amazing.

Since it was early morning, the air was clean and temperature very enjoyable. Here is an overview from higher on the mountain.

Oh the colors of nature! Reflecting the rich love and deep wisdom of God the Creator. Morning sun shine.

Breakfast in Taiwanese hotel. This was only part of what I had. ;)

Food mart of Taipei 101, which is the tallest building in Asia (?). Bubble tea was great! :D

Departure lunch at Taipei airport. Surprisingly cheap, and definitely tasty as one can expect. 

Spread the wings like the eagle, soar on high, through the blue sky, over the misty clouds. The art of flying, despite the high tech, cannot compare to the creation. Nice view from the cabin window though. :)

HongKong is HongKong, no matter from which angle you look at it, right?

Food in the style of my home province, served in southern China. As always, we were hungry and our eyes wanted more than our stomachs, couldn't finish everything. :(

The cheapest, and almost the best meal on the trip: rice/bean noodles with cucumber and stuff, spicy, cold, bought from street seller, price ~ 0.5 euros. It's good to know that despite the inflation, there can be good and cheap food found. 

Summary: pictures are only a part of memories, and my principle does not allow me to post pictures of people here. Traveling for me is not meant for having fun or tourism, but I want to meet up with friends and people, get involved in their lives even for one glimpse only. Life is better when it is shared. :)
