Goodbye China - my personal summary
... would be than trying to manage a crazy flow of dozens of motorbikes.
Great food and huge variety
Chinese food is simply great. Actually there are so many different style of cuisines in the country of this size, that I would rather called it regional cuisines than to summarize it as Chinese food.

Making friends in Sapa
... there to "see the locals in their natural habitat", a row or two of souvenir stalls have popped up. Still, I would say this is a really interesting place to visit.
