PAJERO only two qualifying child, I sat in the back of the luggage cabin, all the way miserable. Fortunately, Long states that only about 40 kilometers away from Jingxi, traffic is not bad, 1 hour or so to go.
Into a dragon state, welcoming pleasant to the eye is a border crossing, one side is Vietnam, one side is China. Port does not seem very busy, and the car to cross the border need to go through relevant procedures, the local villagers who may permit free passage of the border.
I crossed the port side looked to Vietnam. They way worse than ours, on a length, and, customs and border officials have even a decent point there is no office space.

I was a child in another Sino-Vietnamese border counties - that Poe grew up, I still remember in 1980 or thereabouts, it was estimated that higher degree of tension, and the streets talk with Vietnamese agents into our country, the abduction of children, which makes people Xinhuang Huang. Still remember when the festival every year, the school will organize our martyrs cemetery to pay tribute to those martyrs who sacrificed their lives for the country ... ....
