Access to pictures of various things going on in my life.

 
After 16 days in China I'm back home. Coming back on a Saturday morning at 8am is really nice. It gave me a full weekend to unpack, do laundry and meet a few friends. I have some 5 hours of audio and 2 Gb of pictures, and I hope to process these soon. I know if I don't do it soon, it will take a very long time.

One thing I really learned on this trip is to not shy away from contact with other people. Especially during my Tiger Leaping Gorge hike I noticed that whenever I saw new 'westeners' I would not be inclined to talk to them. But the moment I did start a conversation, there often was a great connection. Just in the 3 days in the gorge I met Udo and Detlev from Germany, Corine from French, Erol and Katrina from Sweden and Mick from Australia. With all these people I hiked or talked for many hours, and it was always very interesting and fun. For most of them I don't have any contact information, but it is sometimes very nice to just spend time with people and then go on with your live, without clinging to contact.

Some of the highlights of this trip were:
- Hiking on the Great Wall
- Hiking Tiger Leaping Gorge
- Spending time in Beijing with Tao
