Globetrotters| Jiamusi, China

Kicking off a new post series here on my blog [woooooo] and I am soooooooooooo excited for it! A couple of weeks ago, I treated myself to a pink and silver globe from M&S like yessssssss! I tried to find it on their website but I think they might not sell it anymore, not too sure!

I have always wanted a globe in my bedroom because even though I was crap at geography at school, I loved learning about new places, other countries and different cultures, I found it all so fascinating!

Due to this, I thought I would put my new bedroom addition to use and here I am! After spinning the globe and putting my finger on a random place [with my eyes closed of course], I will research wherever I pick and bullet point some facts about it oooooooo! Now, I haven't decided yet whether this is going to be a fortnightly, monthly, just post whenever I want kinda thing, I am yet to make my mind up.

However, I thought I would kick it off now and well, I have our first city to explore...
