+ My trusty faux-bans
+ Helvetica Aa tee from American Apparel (I remembered just now I also wore this to frolic in front of Big Ben.
+ Purple cotton scarf – Glassons
+ Woolen shorts by Gorman (Australia)
+ Converse sneakers
+ Kathmandu travel satchel (perfect size for my HP Mini 1000 or an SLR and not too touristy!)

Great Wall Outfit

It was a brilliant spring day, and the sky wasn’t too hazy. The blossoms bursting from all the trees made it even more magical. We trekked up and down, hundreds of steps navigated. Totally worth it, a childhood dream come true!

PS. The rumours are true. You can luge down the side of the Great Wall of China. As ludicrous as it sounds, I couldn’t resist climbing back up and having a go. It was weird but fun.

Wow, I’d love to go to the Great Wall. Your dress code seems perfect for it, especially not having a big touristy bag.

The blossoms are beautiful! I wish I were there.
You’re so brave for wearing Converse on such a long hike; my feet would be aching terribly afterward.
