Milan Kundera writes: "And there is nothing more beautiful than the instant before the trip, the moment when the horizon of tomorrow comes visit us and tell us about his promises." Excellent words, right? But if we have to be fair this "horizon of tomorrow" till now has only told us a mountain of hassle. Obtaining visas is a commercial procession: the Chinese embassy demands a ticket with return already paid; Russians want only photographs made and paid in their office; Belarusians want insurance policy that only they can release; Mongols, like everyone else, ask that visitors exhibit the invitation of a local tourist organization. If you go with a car that is not yours, you need the owner authorization with notarial certification and translation of everything, including the registration document.
In this maze, we were lucky enough to find the thread of Ariadne in the person of Mrs. Mita in the Rome office of Air China, the flag carrier of the People's Republic, the first carrier to connect with direct flights Italy to the country of the Celestial Empire. To celebrate thirty years of this direct air route, They will make us travel in business. So: Greetings Air China!
