When I travel in China, I am always impressed about the thousand years old history and the fascinating places someone might encounter along the way.

I was born on September 12 1983 in an Italian town called Rimini, located in the Emilia-Romagna province along the northern east coast of the Adriatic sea.

Lovely to read of your recognition of the friendliness of the Chinese when you enter their daily lives, Marcos. It is one of the reasons Denise and I have travelled so extensively in China.
