The China Chronicles Day 0 + 1 - Perth 2 China - Mobile Photo Edition

After seeing this http://skybambi.wordpress.com/2011/11/28/a-travel-bucket-list-10-more-places-to-lose-my-heart-before-i-depart/
It reminded me of my China trip.
I have been lazy and haven't really documented my Korea trip in Feb or my China trip in April.

I was suppose to be away for a month but had to come back early for a funeral.
