The Winds of Change, Rob and Yuehong Moving On, 2010 |
|||
|
After more than 6 years together based in China, it's time for us to move on. I started this page looking out into our beautiful country garden and by the time it is finished, I will have continued to Malaysia and on into Indonesia where I will have told my side of 'Steamy Java 2010', a connoisseur's trip around the island's sugar mills with their living dinosaurs of the Industrial Revolution. For convenience I have now grouped lifestyle illustrated features by topic: Also available on this site:
Be warned, by and large the images below, while part of an individual page bear very little relation to most of the content!!! From 'Welcoming Drinks' onwards nearly every page is actually about one of Java's many steam powered sugar mills - the name of the mill is given under the image for each of these. I always like to put a personal historic image on my trip front page, this is my 'new' extended Chinese family in Jiaojiehe in early July 2010; to my left is Yuehong's son, Yiran, with his his natural father Gu Yulu and his wife Qiu Xiao Ling. It will be a while before we are gathered again for such a grouping, but next time I'll remember to pull out my T-shirt to hide the bulge like the others did...
Long ago, I was out at dawn in Java for the Iron Dinosaurs. They're nearly all in the great locoshed in the sky now, so I have to make do with a different kind of view:
If you have enjoyed these accounts, then there is 'more like this' written and photographed during our earlier 2009 explorations in the region:
