One more time to Gorinchem

After exactly two months and two weeks and 6464 kms in China, we have just another 10 kms to before entering Laos. Or ‘one more time to Gorinchem’ in Loes’ own version of the metric system.

Time nor tears are wasted at the border. For all its beauty, with western Sichuan as the absolute highlight, China will be remembered mostly as an impolite and ill-mannered country. A people struggling with a system that has turned them into weasels, severed from their past. For it is certainly not the great nation rooted in ancient culture many people, including the Chinese, like to think it is.
