In 2009 we went on separate holidays. Mirjam wanted to go to Indonesia with her father and 2 sisters. Leon didn't hesitate very long, and booked a tour in China. With a group, because travelling alone isn't much fun. And with this group of five complete idiots (including myself), travelling in China is a lot of fun. |

| Some people asked me what I liked the most in China. That's why I made this list of tops and flops: | |
|
Tops: • The Great Wall • The Temple of Heaven • Terracotta Warriors • Panda feeding time • Leshan Big Buddha • Zhongdian Monastery • Tuktuks in Dali • Local markets in Dali • Hot air Balloon in Yangshuo • Chinese food |
Flops: • The Great FireWall • The second temple in Pingyao • The queues for the cable car in Lijiang • No lunch when travelling to Lijiang • The bumpy road from Zhongdian to Napa-village • 'Some road works' in Kunming • One day too many in Yangshuo And last, but not least: • A girl called Manja, who needs a good spanking  |
