Example of a blog entry from a visit to China
Slide 7
China My visit to Yunnan, China was exciting! These girls were
dressed in traditional colors as they tended to the reflecting rice
terraces. The Confucian Temples were so peaceful and full of
scrolls telling the history of the Han Dynasty. The climate was
humid, but the river boat races were coolthere were 30 guys all
rowing a boat that was so skinny I thought they would fall off! The
locals were proud of their heritage of being a diverse people, but
are very poorthey barely make 300 yen a year! We got a workout
hiking through the mountainous terrain, but got a break with the
many rivers we could catch a boat ride.
