Imagine this: just returned from ‘xie tou’; actually meaning ‘wash hair’; included: 60 minutes of pleasant, smiling faces around you, happy to show their skills to a ‘weiguoren’, 30 min. of extra- ordinary facial massage, shoulders, arms and hands, neck and, not to forget, my head.; 15 minutes of some of the best hair washes ever; a decent, professional stylist...

Surprises happen when you travel the world; The other night we went for dinner in a Brazilian Rest; the nice stuff, BBQ roasts, shrimps galore, the whole lot. After dinner went to our friends H’tl which happened to b 5*. During our most vivid conversation I noticed someone familiar glancing at me from far.

Struck by a revelation, after years of doubts. Whenever your car has a mechanical problem in Africa, we found the problems multiply by the factor of THREE if one sends the car to a workshop. Saying this, one has to take careful consideration of which workshop to chose. The list of unwillingly and intended damages increase in direct proportion to the number of days your car has to stay in for...

cont… the hospitality, the people, culture, marvellous sights. We can cope with the cultural differences, once getting accustomed. There is only love, devotion, and sincerety never found elsewhere. I enjoy the many pleasantries, like ‘Xie Jiao’, (for those of you who don’t know=foot massage). Nowhere have I met such skills, including Thailand. I must say, it would be my...

..cont… some of the most pleasant memories back with us, with a standing invitation to visit again during the Chinese Lunar festival in spring. It is great to have friends in China, they are real friends. No ifs and buts, they give their last for the ‘Weiguoren’ who invaded their marvellous country first twelve years ago, and returning frequently every year. We love to visit...
