Norway To China By Bicycle

By D.D. With A Little Help From Her " Owner " Spaced Teacher

I was having dinner with a very good Chinese friend at what was considered to be the best Western restaurant in Nanyang City of Henan Province. We were having a sparkling conversation and a very enjoyable evening when all of a sudden she got a look of bewilderment on her face. What is puzzling you I asked her. I am curious why you didn't speak to the lao wai / foreign gentleman sitting behind us she answered. I didn't see him come in I replied. I turned and introduced myself and invited him to join us. As it turns out he was a very interesting young man. He had bicycled all the way from Oslo , Norway to China. His route took him through Norway , Sweden , Lithuania , Poland ,Ukraine , Russia , Kazakhstan and into the Nrtheastern Chinese provinces and then across Southern China and back to Norway. The slide show below is of some of his pictures of Southern China. Unfortunately I don't know exactly where but they will give you an idea of the incredible beauty to be found in China. I hope you enjoy them.
