Hi Krys,
It was really interesting to read your opinions about China. I have been there a year ago so I can compare your feelings about the country with mines. I see that I liked more China than you, but we both didn't like same things: smog and crowds....
Take care

So good to hear that you are home safe and sound. I just read the majority of your travel log and from the sound of it, your own bed at home probably never felt so good. I was shocked at the attack on the hostel and completely appalled at the action (or inaction) of the police. So hard to believe these things still happen in "civilized" countries. I hope the hostel owner will recover. But on the bright side and despite the smog, I'll bet you got some great pics and am looking forward to seeing them!

Take care,
Jill

for your kind congrats on the AoM award. I was very surprised (and glad:)) about getting a prize for my pics. In my eyes you are the first aspirant for all kind of prizes every month! I really loved your Venice album in July!
Take care - Petra

Welcome home pal, I really enjoyed your logs and did get quite concerned about your welfare on the last bit but hey! if you haven't been involved in aggro at some time you haven't really travelled, a week in Benidorm or Blackpool doesn't hit the same spot:-) Cheers Friend, glad to have you back safe and sound. Tony.

It's a relief to find you back home safe and well, have you thought about trying to get a newspaper to take your hostel report? it would sure make interesting news!. Take care, Tony.

I have enjoyed your log, you have my sympathy with this latest incident, it's about the worst I have heard, even when I was behind the Iron Curtain in the early sixties never once did i feel threatened, except by the NKVD, and certainly not by the people, China has certainly got to look to it's laurels if they are going to be a part of this modern world. Have a safe rest of your trip and journey home, I look forward to your pics and report, Kindest Regards Krys, Tony.

Well, it sounds like the second half of your trip has as many challenges as the first. Still, Datong sounded great. i'll have to check it out the next time I go.

Hi Krys,
Mabe I am not aggressive enough or too modest. but ,aybe I should try again. Thank you for your encouragement. This story you told of Poland is ridiculous. Naturally all journeys depend on the part of the country you are going. Trekking tours are still be made this year, as my travel agent told me.

Hi Krys. thanks for the info on currency, today's log is brilliant! your humourous and irrevent remarks gave me a good laugh, I hope the Chinese authorities have a sense of humour:-) Keep well Friend, Tony.
