... 18px;">From Vietnam I'll find a way to reach CHINA my old nemesis with Visa.
And from there I found connections at 1400 kms reaching Taiwan but mostly for chinese residents..

Cambrai is a nice town with a great little harbour for boats like us. well the 20-30m versions. We are tied up to one ...
Big empty canal, and the deckie rocked chauny
... at us for being on their river. One had his 8 m pole stuck out accross the river as i passed the barge. he swore black and blue when red failed to give way to his fishing rod. i was full noise on red passing a 400 t barge. the rod did not even register on the scale of things happening at that moment.
