China, Shanghai: 31st March-6th April
Luckily I managed to dodge the air traffic that week and visit Shanghai. I've always wanted to go to China so actually being there was a bit surreal. I have to admit, I didn't adjust too well to the culture shock and differences on the first day. Number one, their toilets consist of a dug-out whole in the floor where pee etc. has probably been floating around for the past week or so. I also had to pose for many photos with random people because they were so fascinated with all of the English people they found. It was rather embarassing having everyone constantly stare and point at you. Anyways, here is what I experienced...
Turkey, Marmaris: 9th April-23rd April
Turkey was completely different to China. It was so hot everyday, there were no high-rise buildings and there were alot of beaches and hilly mountains which were also islands just floating in the water. It wasn't drastically different to the UK but it was still a really lovely holiday destination!
And there you have it. The past three weeks in pictures. I will have lots of reviews and coolio posts lined up for May and the tiny bit left of April. I hope everyone had a nice Easter!

You take some really good pictures! I have always wanted to go to China as well. Turkey looks really pretty too. Glad you are back though!
Those are beautiful pictures! Turkey looks gorgeous. The water is so blue. I wish I could visit there someday.

Glad you had fun! I really want to visit those two countries. I'm sure the culture there is so rich.
I can't believe you went to China, that's amazing. I so rarely hear of anyone I know going there. Sounds like an awesome trip, despite the getting stranded thing.
Beautiful pictures, I cannot wait to go on vacation. Chine looks so pretty!! Glad that you enjoyed the trip.
