October 1st marks the start of the National holiday Golden Week here in China. The Peoples Republic of China was founded on October 1, 1949 and since 2000 they have made October 1- 7 a national holiday week long celebration.
Most Chinese people travel back to their home towns to spend the holiday with their families and we were advised it's not a great time to travel around China so Bill and I have chosen to spend the holiday in Thailand - Bangkok and Cambodia - Siem Reap! We set off tonight at 9:40 and land in Bangkok at 2am tomorrow. If I'm a little slow at posting this week that's why! But I will try to get some pictures of the trip up as soon as I can.
