Aunt Penny This seems to be your last blog? I've jumped a lot because of shortage of time at the public library, but will return to them when possible, all make fascinating reading, except this last!!! Don't think I'd fancy Laos. My Andrew and Carol enjoyed a warm holiday in Vietnam - cheap and anything to get out of the cold and SMOG of Beijing! Actually it may be a country where their children's camps are held, run by Chinese uni students teaching Mandarin??, just as now it is UK and US students leading camps in China, teaching English.

Penny More news please!!
