2015 in trips

December 19th 2015
I've never did this before - made an exact list of trips of in a certain year. I don't know why, perhaps because I was always more concerned with particular trees than the forest. But writing here seemed like a call to do it. So, well - - - 1. Spent the 2014 - 2015 new year in Guilin and Longsheng.

Dave, thanks again. There's a larger story behind this trip - it was really crazy, we ended up walking around Danian practically begging for transport, and then this girl just said, Oh yeah, come to our house, and that was it. She was one of the first to be helped by Colors de Chine, organization from France which helps kids, especially girls, from this area - girls used to be, and to some extent still are, very discriminated. So anyway, she way thankful to the foreigners, and loved to help. Still in touch with her.
