As mentioned recently, I’m going to publish some of my old photos of China. Here are a couple of photos of an ‘international’ hotel in China – the Dynasty Hotel in Zhaoqing – taken back in 2002.

Not long ago, the attention of the world turned to Hamilton Island, thanks to Tourism Queensland’s ingenious competition for ‘the best job in the world‘ – being paid to live on a tropical island paradise and blog about it.
Now, a lavender garden in southern China is trying to emulate this unqualified marketing success by holding a competition to recruit two Lavender Angels.
