Its been quite a busy weekend for everybody it seems! Loving all of your messages! We went wandering around a shopping mall on Saturday, some cool stuff but not as cheap as the little boutique shops in the hostel neighbourhood! We had some amazing sushi at the mall that was very cheap compared to Yo Sushi in Cabots or some other british places that are similar. We stuffed our faces for about 2 pounds! and it was lush! We went to the bus station and bought tick...

We've been to Peoples Square and walked around a couple of the markets...

We got here safe and sound, and without as much hassle as we thought we were going to get. We've really got good at the art of pointing and hand movements. Garath did a really good impression of a choo choo train for someone today! Lol. Our Express train took only 1hour and 20 mins with a top speed of 110 miles per hour at one point. The scenery was "interesting" lots of factories, derelict buildings and houses and slums. The Metro seems realy easy to...
