relaxing. If you
want to see the whole country, you have to leave the towns and villages and cycle through
jungle, where the temperature is 37 degrees, cross streams, climb hills and go over paths which are made of
mud, rock or sand.
The most pleasant paths in the jungle follow the irrigation canals. These carry water into
the bright green rice
fields which appear at regular intervals among the trees. During the afternoon, groups children, farm workers
and water buffalo all come to swim in the canals. Then, when you climb from the jungle up
into the hilly area in
the center of the country, you see every hillside is covered with neat rows of tea bushes in another brilliant
shade of green. In fact, the whole country is covered in more different and beautiful shades of green than I ever
thought possible.
Now I’m wondering where to ride my bike next - perhaps alongside the canals of The Netherlands, or through
the city streets of China...
