China, also some more video online

After the publication of the Turkey and Jordan video footage, I have started to place the video s made in China online. The video quality is less, the subjects of the video are exciting!

Join me in climbing the Great Wall:

And fly in a balloon

Video of balloon trip Yangshou

Part of my traveling in China, september 2007, was a balloon trip.

Here you can see a Youtube low quality video of the experience 

With Xvid and Virtualdub I also made a video file in much higher quality (but still lower than the original). Size is 20 Mb so it may take a while on slower connections.

Photo’s of the balloontrip are in the photo web gallery.

Reizen website: China foto’s online

Gebruikmakend van CMS Made Simple en fotogalerij software heb ik een nieuwe website gebouwd:

http://reizen.hansotten.nl

Hier staan nu de galerijen met de recente China en Venezuela foto’s. Het viel niet mee om een selectie uit de China foto’s te maken, van de 1600 die de moeite waard zijn, hebben 940 het op deze reizen website gehaald.

Away, in the footsteps of Marco Polo

I am away now, to China.

The grand old duke of York
He had ten thousand men
He marched them up to the top of the hill
And he marched them down again
And when they were up they were up
And when they were down they were down
And when they were only half-way up
They were neither up nor down 

Update on september 13th: Hongkong, one more day …

My Visum for China has arrived!

Today I received my visum for China! It is getting near now,  about 4 weeks!

A nice looking visum in my passport, So I thought I share it with you.
No, I do not share my year of birth nor the numbers ;)
