I am now back in Toronto and will have to go through 4,000 pictures after this 5 week trip. I definitely was thinking of your trek when I was searching for my own breath during my own trek on the Wall between Simatai and Jinshanling. Good luck in this new stretch. Michel...the old frenchman from Toronto..lol How can Trude forget about our time at the Hanging Monastery….lol

I originally thought I had the whole room for myself:-) - more familiar with closer distance between people: feels more natural to have people 10 cm from the face! - the funny face expressions of the Chineses when I went for a run in the street - how easily they responded to your HUMOUR - they instinctivly laughed though no words involved. Realizing that the shortest way between people maybe is just trough being human - the SMILE Its obvious that you have understood that HUMOUR is a great way to connect with the Chinese people:-) Few more “moments” and thougts thinking of today:

Just coming close to the everyday life you live over there, in which is so different from the lives norwegians live over here! Love the way you are able to get in close contact with so many different people, playing with children, talking to old people - like that old woman in the village with her poor feet "innbundet" as the old tradition you told me about.. hoping you will meet her again when returning to Datong, it seemed she liked to share her story with you:-) Im really impressed with your Chinese verbal language! Though don`t want any funny comments about the rapid development of my abilities in BODY LANGUAGE:-) This was a trip to never forget! Love T I had an awesome trip visiting you in China!
