So that's us finished with China (until the next time). The things that stick out the most about China are just how wonderfully curious and bold the Chinese people are. They were friendly, helpful and kind. The language barrier was difficult but nothing that laughter didn't resolve quite quickly. Their odd little ways fascinated me and pushed me to find answers and explore its culture. For example they all shout, almost screaming, this is to show they have nothing to hide. No secrets are kept. What a wonderful and mad notion. The countries history was rich and majestic. The land went from greenery to cement city to old, twisting hutongs that was full of wonder. China was much more expensive then I expected but worth every pennie. Now we're off to our next adventure......Vietnam.
