Let me take the Sunday Spotlight and shine it on the most beautiful spot in China that I have ever visited. Yangshuo is near Guilin, a town revered for its beautiful location by the Chinese. I travelled from Hong Kong, across the border to China and then by overnight train to Guilin, and in the …
India for the first time. Where do I start? For any intrepid world explorer, or simple backpacker such as myself, India is the essential place to visit. At least once, if not several times considering just how big the country is and how much there is to see there. But for me in 1999, it …
