Last summer I took my parents to Yangshao in China. Its an amazing place and Keri and I have decided to go back there with little Fergus. When we were there the first time my Dad and I went up in a hot air balloon, it was amazing and I took lots of great pictures from up there. Afterwards we we got down from the trip we were talking to some expats who lived in the area, they were saying that we were crazy for going with that company as they were cowboys etc. He mentioned that they have had all sorts of accidents and near misses. I have thought nothing off it until I read the news this morning and since we are heading back there on Saturday I was pretty shocked when I read the following article.
