Our Best China
|
It's hot. And humid. We're now in the sort of region where insects could probably be classified as small animals.

Contrasts
|
Imagine, if you will, a darkened river embanked on either side by a stone wall. Ancient buildings, similar in style to Spanish haciendas, sit 10 metres from the bank. They once housed merchants from Holland, Japan and India and have been restored so that they stand proud in the dim street......Read More
