Het einde van de zijderoute
China, love it or hate it! De meningen zijn hier voor het eerst een beetje verdeeld. Voor de ene zijn Chinezen "luidruchtig keelschrapende en daarna uitfluimende viezeriken", luid en weinig behulpzaam. Voor de ander maakt dat allemaal niet uit en is het belangrijkst dat het eten hier zo fantastisch smaakt, hoewel het wel aan de pikante kant is.

Hua Shan
Here are some pics of Hua Shan....what a beautiful place! I think I went into enough detail in the previous post about how much of a b*tch it was to get out to this place, but in case the words didn't do it for you, I uploaded about 7 or 8 videos for you so you can really see wha the bus ride was like that day. ...
