What's On This Month:
Holidays, Events and Festivals.
The Online Edition of Nomadic Gatherings is being upgraded
for mobile devices, with a new collection of specially selected 'Nomadic Photos' to illustrate each page.
Chapter 1 - Taking Off:
To Japan, where so much of Japanese life seemed uniformed with rules, rituals, and ceremony; keeping grace and saving face.
I bowed; they giggled.
Chapter 2 - Kimchi and Gold Medals:
The Olympic ceremony was on in Seoul, and the event was being transmitted live to the on-board television above the driver.
Chapter 3 - Little Sister:
Taiwan was a brief stop en-route from Seoul to Hong Kong. They found it amusing that I was heading for China.
Chapter 4 - Colonial Gateway:
Between the modern financial offices of Central Hong Kong, old trams trundled along Des Voeux Road. No-one stood still.
I had to get a visa for China.
Chapter 5 - China Travel:
Buying train tickets in China can often be a problem with five-day waits and people camped at the station. And what if you
can't speak the Chinese language?
Chapter 6 - The Northern Capitals:
Japan invaded Manchuria in the early 1940s, and the Soviets followed in 1945. Some of the dome-shaped architecture still
remains from the Russian period.
