你好 (Hello!)
If you are viewing this page, then you must be one of the very smart and lucky public radio listeners that will be joining us on a two week tour of China next September!
Near & Far is a public radio travel club that was started by KCUR 89.3 FM (out of Kansas City, MO) in 2002. Earlier tours have included a Smithsonian Journey to Costa Rica, The Kingdom of Thailand, Washington D.C. (including a tour of NPR headquarters), Christmas on the Danube, and Mystical Peru. Near & Far is now partnering with other public radio stations in the creation of tours specifically for the public radio audience. Public radio listeners are wonderful people with which to travel. They are intelligent, adventurous, caring, friendly and a lot of fun!
Check back to this blog regularly for added information about this tour. We also encourage you to submit your own comments with your suggestions for related reading, etc. If you are looking for a roommate or would just like to chat with other Near & Far travellers, then this is the place for you.
Yours in travel and adventure,
Sara Jane Crane

Ni Hao Ma... I just saw your site and decided that I would have a quick look... I will be travelling to China next year to adopt and so this caught my eye as I am always interested in 'learning' about the country... so, I will be checking in another time. Until later...
Since your tour will be in Beijing on the 21st. If your members have time they should go to Pan Jia Yuan or the Dirt Market. It is open only on Sunday from6 or 7am to 2pm. It is a great place to find bargains on the treasures of China. Scrolls, jade, Cloisenne(sp), brushes as well as hand crafted items from many of the minorities of China. Oh, when negotiating always, always offer 50% off the asking price.
