Last weekend I jumped on an aircraft... well, first I waited and waited. The Hong Kong Airlines flight bound for Guilin International airport was delayed for two hours.
Guilin is quite a random destination for a pup with particular food requirements, you may be thinking, but read on.
This was my second proper trip to the mainland. (I've just got back from Tianjin and I've been to Shanghai and Beijing, but I was too young to remember anything now.)
I'd heard of Guilin, of course. It's the 'place stereotypical Chinese paintings are based on'.
Yet I'd never really thought I'd visit it. So when the opportunity to accompany the deputy editor came up, I howled and howled until the rest of the team gave in and she let me go with her.
And woof, am I glad I did!
I'll talk next week about the sheer beauty of the place.
