In November 2006, I discovered China, for any company trip.

I stayed one month and i had been so busy heading from the factory to a factory , I did not possess the time to visit anything and the weather, was cloudy and damp that I did not presume turning back.

Staying in Hangzhou at this time was meaning: starting at 9am and finishing 11pm.

However I had a contract and in January 2007, I had to go back again for another two weeks. This time I can appreciate some rest during the day end and through the begining of the yea, to the first, on a sunny Saturday afternoon, I paid a visit to Xihu, the Wonderful Western Lake.
