China!

No recent posts as I have been in China for the last 2 weeks. The Great Firewall of China has blocked my blog and all blogs on Blogspot. And also BBC website (but not CNN).

It was a really good trip and a sense opener. Amazing in so many good and bad ways. May have to wait for another day to elaborate and upload pictures. Just got in from Shenzhen to Hongkong tonight and it is pretty late now. Rather tired too.

But basically my trip was Beijing (including the Great Wall) to Xi'an to ZhengZhou (look it up) to Shanghai to Shenzhen and back to Hong Kong. And all helped along with the kindness and hospitality of friends (Siao Wearn and Wai Yeong) and a relative (Cristal) and other travellers along the way especially in Xi'an (Richard and Vanessa from Mt Garnet, Queensland; John and Asa from Sweden somewhere; David form Southampton) and lots and lots of local and not so local Chinese everywhere.

Tomorrow/this morning off to Tokyo.
