Hi Erika, love your photo's, the warrior's would have been great to see up close, love the temples, & the panda's sound so cute, not so keen on what they were selling at the market, but I suppose it's just part of their culture, that's the best thing about travelling, it's broadens the mind, to good & bad. You sound like your enjoying it, we are enjoying following you around it's like a little holiday show of your own, do you fancy doing this for a job? We think you would be great.

Take Care

Thank you for your email the other day darling - was ace to hear from you properly and your latest blog has given me an insight into what it is really like over there. How cute about your bus driver taking you to see his family! It's so weird that they do n ot hear about a lot of the goings on around the world hey? It seems like one extreme to the other with all the wealth, then protecting them from the rest of the world... You are cute with your chinese words! you'll know how to say hello and goodbye in all different languages soon! enjoy the next journey and looking forward to reading the next chapter :) xxxxx
