It all began one day when Roger went into McBear's office. McBear was sitting at his desk, stressed due
to the amount of TARF reports piling up.
"I simply don't understand..." McBear moaned. "More and more reports have to be evaluated and signed.
The number of TA's pouring into this country from east is constantly growing. Somewhere out there there
MUST be a leaking source...
"It sounds like you haven't heard the news", Roger said.
"What news?"
Roger continued: "Our owners are going to China...".
"WHAT??? Without consulting us?" McBear was shocked. "This time there HAS be a fair quota of who's going.
"Well, I have already talked to them. First of all, they had agreed on four bears on this tour. Since
you and I would be going - as usual - there was two vacancies left. Next it was decided, that Tom would
be going, which left a single vacancy. It was decided there would be a raffle, but at the end, this
fell apart and a decision was made, and the last bear on the trip will be ... Bamse!
This was how it all began... And soon we were deeply involved in our greatest adventure so far:
A Tale of Chinese Treasures...

of China. Here, we discovered the first treasures of what China can offer...

The Second Tale: Shanghai & The Three Gorges, June-July 2007
In Shanghai we witnessed how fast China is developing. Time will show whether our western culture is beneficial
for the nation. After Shanghai we embarked on a river cruise to sail up the mighty Yangtse River with all its wonders and
treasures...

The Third Tale: Chongqing, Xi'an and Beijing, July 2007
Yet to come was the biggest surprise of the tour; the third tale meant a beary revolution, and never again would
the group of bears be quite the same...
