On the road from WUZHOU to Yangshuo in Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region,I met Patrick Decoster and Nathalie Meert for the first time.It was drizzling,so few people were on the road.The foreign couple,their bikes draped with bags,were quite conspicuous.At first I thought they were just riding bikes for fun like other tourists in Yangshuo or Guilin,but then they told me they’d already ridden about 9,000 kilometers.
Two years ago,Decoster,a guard,and Meert,a supermarket cashier in Brussels,left their jobs and began their world bicycle tour.So far,they’ve toured Eastern Europe,Southeast Asia,Hong Kong and Macao.In April 1997,they flew to Shenzhen; they plan to spend three months touring China.
Decoster thinks the best way to see the world is by bicycle.They have had more experiences than most travelers.They have encountered dangers and hostilities,but no disasters,only incidents that added color to their trip.
On their way to Wuzhou,they stayed in a villager’s home.The hostess brought them food and made a bed for them.She even supplied them with hot water and basins which were beyond her service range.
‘We felt she was quite sincere and really wanted to help us,’ they said.‘The payment for that night’s food and lodging was only 20 yuan.We were surprised at the low price.’ Meert said it was very comforting for lonely travelers to meet warm-hearted people.
A day later,I unexpectedly met the couple again on a famous tourist street,West Street,also called Foreigners Street.Meert said they had got lost after we separated.A man had told them to just go straight ahead but they had run into a narrow lane.
Decoster said:‘Anything can happen when touring by bicycle.’ But they still think China is a good place to tour by bicycle; the wide roads are in good condition.
‘The dwelling space for Chinese people is very crowded,but it seems spacious to European people,’ Meert commented.This is new knowledge to them.Learning such information firsthand is entirely different from obtaining it via the media.
‘When he first suggested this bicycle tour,I thought he was mad.But,now I think he was right,’ Meert said.
Luckily their jobs in Brussels are still waiting for them.
