Hi, I just returned from China and want to share my experience with you. I think you will love Beijing, Shanghai and Suzhou. They are three huge cities but all have a completely different feel and sights to be seen. The Great Wall at a lower more touristy section in Beijing, Shanghai is an important centre of commerce and finance. Suzhou is fantastic-you will also love the beautiful largest fresh lake. The hotels I booked were so good while I was searching information of China and discovered a website. My tour was a fantastic experience – I hope you enjoy yours too!

How clever of you two to schedule your trips to China to avoid the distasteful Olympics. How serendipitous that you two should find each other on a web site. You have so much in common with each other: a love of travel to exotic places like China (To one from Hong Kong, that must seem such a foreign place!), a cleverness in finding just the right hotel to stay in, further cleverness in finding a web site on which you can share your experiences with others, a certain lack of understanding the usage of the English language, etc. You probably even like the same foods, I bet. What is even more amazing is that Paulus is not even admitting to know Fanny. If only you had sat down at that computer just 6 minutes earlier, you two could have met! Yes, that's right! While I am sure that you are unaware of this, the coincidence is remarkable. You both used the same computer! What are the chances of two people from Hong Kong (one "just returned" from China, the other going in a month) with so much in common meeting on a web site based in the central part of the United States?
Please share one more bit of information with me, Fanny. Didn't you find China just a bit too "foreign" for your tastes? Travel is fine; it is good to broaden one's experiences. But the culture shock of leaving Hong Kong and going to China must have been very hard to get used to.
(By the way, I changed the link to avoid sending people to a travel site that hires people (like you) who think running a con is easy. So you wasted 10 minutes of your life posting (twice) here. But you did give me a laugh, so I can't be too critical.)

Fanny Law, a Justice of the Peace, was head of the Independent Commission against Corruption in Hong Kong. She resigned. She must have taken up another job
P.S Bedstor, were you googling Fanny Hill (of "Memoirs of a Woman of Pleasure" or Fanny Law ? The latter only produced about 6,000 hits, the former rather a lot !
