    Thank you Cayuga Morning, it was a wonderful vacation and an eye opener for me about my motherland. :)

    Thank you Philip, those mountain shapes are indeed unique and now I can really relate Chinese mountain paintings to the mountains in China. :)

    Thank you Islandlife, if I am still active in fishing I will definitely build my self one. :D

    Thank you Raddang, you are most welcome. :)
