China
February 23, 2019 - April 22, 2019 -- I spent six weeks in China, grumbling and grousing the whole way on public transportation, because the paranoid, (and rightly-so,) Chinese government won't let foreigners bring their vehicles in unescorted. So, I stored my motorbike in Hanoi...
I visited only cities, large ones and even larger ones, (are there small cities in China?) and found them to be beautiful. I also found the people to be happy, relatively prosperous and content, so their government must be doing something right. Now, if they will only consider allowing a free press and an open Internet, it would be a good start on making an even better China.

May 23, 2019 — Xi'an, China — Facing harsh warnings against traveling through Communist China, I was a little surprised to find the Chinese people to be pleasant, cheerful and gracious, so I set out to find a way to share their qualities with my friends and family back in the United States. What way did I find? Give them flowers!
