To Richard,

Right on! Franki is the man. I can't describe how grateful I am to get to know him. He knows so much and he is so willing to help. I'm glad that I'll have a chance to meet him in person in HK. When I see him, I'll tell him that you said hi.

We'll definitely share our trips here and we will also share our trips reports in two major Chinese motorcycle forums as well. A good thing to have a website is that we can share our stories with our friends and family who will not be here and consolidate both Chinese and English reports at one place. It's also easier to share photos as well. :)

Yes in China being flexible is the key! that's why I always think cell phone is my best friend in China. Everyone has it and everybody uses it! My philosophy is to plan for the worst and hope for the best!
