What’s happening here? Check out my article in United Airlines’ Hemisphere magazine! Thanks to Casey Nolin for capturing the moment.
Interesting things happen when you travel off the beaten path.
When you go to places where tourists are scarce, you see more interesting things and have more interesting experiences.
Prime example: my first trip to China, where we stopped at a grape festival in rural Hunan province. I wrote about what happened to me for United Airlines’ in-flight magazine, Hemispheres:

Many thanks to Casey Nolin, who was on the press trip with me, and who took the photo of me which accompanied my article.
I have many more China stories on the China destination page, including a story about the most expensive tea in the world for Montecristo Magazine: The tea that caused a diplomatic crisis.
It gets awkward at first but in the end turns out to be an amazing experience :D Being a travel enthusiast, I have been connected to people and hearing so much of related stories at Linkagoal.com which helps people to achieve their goals by connecting with individuals of similar interest.

Hi Frank. I completely agree — awkward at first, but then a great aspect of the trip and an insight into Chinese culture. Hope you enjoyed your trip too.
