Sounds like you're still having some once in a lifetime experiences guys. Hannah your messages are really funny and witty and Dan the photos aren't bad either!! Hope you're both feeling well after the dodgy stomachs, I really don't think Jae would eat if he was there!! We went to see the sterios last week for Jae's birthday, they were awesome and Kelly is just so cool!! Jae still waiting for your card, figured it probally got lost! (Only Joking!!) I will remind you of your favourite sisters birthday next week though just in case it slipped your mind out there! So think of me wherever you are and whatever you're eating!! Take care!!

The look on your mum's face would be priceless if she did travel all that way to find that the shoe shops only sold shoes for Chinese feet - her feet would be way tooooo big !!! Really enjoying your reports (Han) and pictures (Dan). Off to see your Grandma on Saturday - will have to tell her how you crawled up the Great Wall, and that you are returning to China next year to help excavate those Terracotta Warriors (or would you be covering them in chocolate - Cadbury's chocolate of course!). Have fun.

just booked my flight will be there tomorow what time do the shoe shops open!!!! Then I will be off to see the terracotta army, next stop to wash your mouthout with soapy water for such bad language!!!! Do I presume your straightners are in the post back home? It all looks fantastic, wish I was doing it as well. The hawkers were just the same in India and could quite often spoil a areally good visit. Bracket says she wont be a coat for anyone, what ever they offer.... Enjoy.xxx

Hi you two, Iam just so jealous of you on that wall. I know what the pesky sellers are like. Alan and I had the same in Java. We had to climb a fairly steep cliff after some white water rafting and some bloke walked all the way up in a monsoon type rain storm trying to sell us a hand carved chess set. All the way up he had a banana leaf over his head to keep dry. What we should remember is they have no other means of income. Doesn't stop them being a nuisence though does it. Anyway carry-on having fun and telling us all about it. luv Margo.

loving the anaraks guys. hannah i never thiught i would c u in one of them! i can't believe the great wall of china is so long fair play to u to for walking it. looks like u to r getting a good tan but hannah what is going on u have got strap lines! have fun and enjoy xxxx
