I should be boarding my flight to Hong Kong at this moment to begin my trip around China. I will visit Beijing, Xi’an, Shanghai and Hong Kong, and I hope not to freeze too much. It is the first time I am not at home at all in Christmas and I have a strange feeling. I hope going to a country where Christmas means nothing, will help me in not feeling homesick during this time.

Why China? I want to visit it before it changes… I have the impression it is already changing a lot, and with a economy growing at an annual 10% rythm, it is likely that even the Chinese will face problems in recognizing their own country. So, I want to see that change. Now, and in some years…

I will try to write from time to time… Or maybe I just rely on a notebook.
