Donations.

Why are donations needed?

Probably you have noticed that YLW is banner free and it will remain that way because most people find ads very annoying. This web site is not selling you anything, everything you find here is free of charge, which basically means that YLW doesn't generate any inocme.

You can support on-going development of this web site by making a small donation ($5, $10 or $20 would be more than enough).

At this time (2007) 4 Gb of server space is available for file storage, which is not enough for video files which are usually very big. That's why I am forced to upload those files to free file hosting web sites such as rapidshare.com. You probably know that those web sites limit daily download traffic unless you subscribe to their service. Depending on your generosity I would be able to buy additional server space and upload big files to the same web server where this web site is hosted and in this case there would be no download limitations.

When you click on the button above it will take you to the secure PayPal web site where you can use your credit card or your PayPal account to make your donation. It's safe and very simple to do that (it takes no more than 5-10 minutes). PayPal is owned by ebay.com, one of the most successful Internet companies and they have over 100 million customers all over the world. Tens of thousands of Internet shops use PayPal as preferred method of payment.

If you are not able to make a donation, that's perfectly ok too. Another way to support this web site is to contribute some video or audio material from your trip, write a paragraph on the bulletin board, give advice to other travellers...

In any event I hope you will find the content of this web site useful and interesting...

These are Qing Dynasty coins. You can buy them in China for 2-3Y a piece however like many other "antique" items sold on the street these are often fake.
