China is wonderful although you pretty much have to get over any perceived need for oxygen in the brown soup that passes
for air. Other than that, it's one of our favorite places on earth and, between us, we have traveled there on six different
occasions.
First time, in 1992, Ray and a couple of friends went to Russia via China. They traveled to Hong Kong by air, then took the
ferry to Macau, then Guangzhou (once known as Canton), then the train to Beijing. They stayed there for a couple of weeks
until they managed to snag tickets on the Trans-Siberian to Russia. But that is another story,
Nena went a year later, on her own, first to Russia and by rail to China. Our last trip was a year ago (see the Friends page)
with a side trip to Singapore.
There are so many stories to tell but they will have to wait for another day.
