Chinaaaaa

I’m baaaack!! From the country of opposites! From the poor and the rich, the capitalism and the communism, the sun and the rain, the colourful and the grey, the heat and the cold, high and low, and the plainness and the spiciness.

And I’ve done it aaaall…saw the south, the west, the north and the east. Visited Hongkong, Guangzhou, Guilin, Kunming, Dali, Lijang, Xi’an, and Beijing. Saw the panda’s, climbed the Great Wall, and visited the terracotta army, the temple of the 10,000 Buddha’s (really!), the Forbidden City, and the Tian’an Men square (remember this picture?).







The trip was tiring, full of priceless impressions. But also weird. Because after 3 weeks, I still have no idea what China is really about! The government is doing an awful good job in keeping the tourist away from real China, the poverty, the real life. Only good stories about China… Only happiness ever since the Cultural Revolution…

So much to tell. So much to show. A few pictures and then I’ll get back to you some other time.
