I have discovered a rather useful phrase know as TIC which means lsquoThis is Chinarsquo and it is amazing how often I find myself thinking how true that statement is.

We misten net de bus van 9u45 en moesten daarom vier uur wachten op de volgende bus. We verveelden ons echter geen moment want in en rond een groot busstation is er altijd wel wat te zien.Tijdens de bus http://www.travelblog.org//Asia/China/Jiangsu/Xuzhou/blog-157658.html
