3 more days to go!

.... and still tons of things to do before I leave on Friday evening! :-)

I am very excited to discover China!

Having already spent 6 months in North Viet Nam, I wonder how different and how similar are those two cultures? I will share with you my first impressions once I am there ...

Learning a few words of Chinese will be quite a challenge! Especially that it is a tonal language like Vietnamese BUT the pronunciation is quite different! Not that I am fluent in Vietnamese of course (!), but it might be a little confusing ...

Oh, and before I forget: a big thank to Gerard Dekker who will replace me at the office during my absence!! :-)
