    Nik and Michelle,

    Thanks so much Carrie, likewise with your site as well!

    There’s so much inspiration there.. I’m still exploring it slowly. One of my fave find was to get to know about Soultravelers3 from your post regarding the 3000th comment. What an amazing family!

    Hi there,
    Met u on #editorchat tonight. Going to Thailand and China next month. In Beijing, other than the usual sites — Great Wall, Tianamen Sq, what other places would u recommend? Going to be there for 4 days.

    Thanks!

    Hi Jane,

    I have to admit ignorance unfortunately, I haven’t been to Beijing myself. For me I have a personal interest in Chinese History, the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, so I would most definitely be checking out the Forbidden City, and related historical sites.

    Things to check out as well would be the mountain scenery. I would ask around for information on amateur hiking trails and the likes!

    Sounds like you’re gonna be traveling around quite a few places. Where else?
