... 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..

Back in France
... the amount of times we swiped the pillow through the air at it we had no luck of killing it. Chris was up on the bed with a towel and pillow minding that he didn't hit the chandelier. I was in hysterics because we were trying to be so quiet but everything just echoed in the big old house. After quite a while I would have to say, the bee was put to rest.
