Ake Och Emma

We are Emma Holmbro and Ake Dahllof. We live in Stockholm, Sweden. We have travelled more or less regularly since the mid 1990-ies and it seems like the more we travel the more difficult it is to decide where to go next. Not because we are running out of places to visit but because we find more places we want to go to faster than we manage to travel to them.

See over people
I am not taller than the tallest Chinese. However, few Chinese have ever seen anyone taller than me. So when I am in China people tend to stare at me and people sometimes want to take photos of me. I once walked a small backstreet in Beijing with a Chinese women. She noticed all the staring (which I don't anymore) and felt uncomfortable. She thought they were staring at her. Oh, poor thing. She was walking next to a close to two meters tall European. Those who stared weren't even aware of that she was there. /Ake
