Many thanks to Casey Nolin, who was on the press trip with me, and who took the photo of me which accompanied my article.

I have many more China stories on the China destination page, including a story about the most expensive tea in the world for Montecristo Magazine: The tea that caused a diplomatic crisis.

    • Hi Frank. I completely agree — awkward at first, but then a great aspect of the trip and an insight into Chinese culture. Hope you enjoyed your trip too.
