Ok, so this is a bit of a cheat. I'm not actually there yet...in fact I didn't even leave Enlgand! But it's all in the preparation they say.....Anyhow, the flight's tomorrow, direct into Beijing from Heathrow. Only a short 10 hours this one. No idea when I'll be able to update....who knows what the keyboards will be like, they were bad enough in Peru and they at least have the same alphabet!
