Natural beauty that could go up against some of the most beautiful scenery I’ve seen and hold its own. These, of course, are the places that have had limited touching by the mass population that likes to leave their squid sausage wrappers and sunflower seed packages pretty much everywhere but a trash receptacle. And I’ve featured them a few times here, but today I’m going to focus on the underbelly that’s not as often shown, because quite simply it doesn’t take as nice a photo. For those visitors to Dalian that don’t stray from the well manicured downtown core… here are some photos of the neighbourhood I most recently worked in - well out of the eye of tourists, and therefore also off the radar of any officials that might lift a finger to help clean it up. I got bored, so they feature some synthetic lomo digital editing I’ve been playing with lately … please don’t start with photo integrity arguments, k?

Looks lovely. I did go to Lushun though, and saw bucketloads of those big Buddhas in their velvet cloaks. Nice. Dang, I always wanted to go to Da Hei Shan – didn’t actually realise it was that close.

I don't know if attracting more attention to myself with swish swish swish noise is exactly what I need to be doing in a country that is already eager to stare at the fat laowai. :-) But yeah, I'm betting most that weight loss was water weight... not the stuff I'm trying to lose. ;-) Haha… I don’t know if attracting more attention to myself with swish swish swish noise is exactly what I need to be doing in a country that is already eager to stare at the fat laowai. :-)

I've started jogging recently just to get fit (guilt from Cam!)... the past two days I've been jogging for an hour each night wearing a bin-bag underneath my t-shirt and I've lost about 2.5kg in two days! I know it's just making me sweat more, but due to the heat it's insulating it's making my body work harder when I jog (or at least it feels like it!)... So if you do start jogging, maybe try the bin bag underneath just to give an extra kick to your body? Probably extremely bad for my body to lose 2.5kg in 2 days but fuck it! Down from 76kg to 73.5kg already! Just really doing it in a build up for my birthday when I'll probably pile it on again with excessive drinking!

I hadn't even finished editing - you likely saw a rather messed up layout haha. Yeah, it was a great trip ... especially because it was a thorn in my side for so long that I hadn't been.
