Dear Cavel & Casper,
Well it's my first day back at work and I'm finding it very hard to get motivated after having such a long time off.
I really had a fantastic time in China. It was wonderful to see the well known places such as Tianamen Square, the Forbidden City, the Great Wall, the Terracotta Army as well as the lesser known (to me) places like Guilin, Dali, Lijiang and Harbin. The trip was very well organised and I'd like to thank all the guides and drivers for showing us around, filling us in on the history and culture of China and ensuring everything ran smoothly for us.
I think my favourite place was Guilin as I prefer the smaller cities and the landscape of the rivers, lakes and mountains was just amazing.
I was a little worried about what food I would be eating as a vegetarian and was amazed by some of the really tasty dishes I ate particularly the lovely spicy dishes in Chengdu. I was put off my food though when we were taken to a restaurant with fish tanks and boxes with live frogs trying to jump out of them before they were put in the cooking pot.
It will take me a while to sort through the 1000+ photos that I took but I will try and send on some of the best ones.
Once again I just like to say many thanks to everyone who made this an unforgettable trip and I will definitely recommend Discover China Tours to anyone I know who may be planning a trip to China.
Regards
Larri
