hello all!
very sorry. apparently this whole blogging this just really isnt my style!

we had some very interesting cultural experiences. note the word INTERESTING.
we started with a few days being mellow and chilling out and geting used the the time difference and getting used to where we were staying. started in a hostel which was nicer than i thought to be honest... and we went to tiananmen square where we were bombarded with children with arse hanging out of trousers. 1st cultural shock.
we also discovered toilets which arent quite the same as back home. (hole in floor situo)
then we started our tour which has been incredible! seen so much culture and learnt so much history. all very interesting!

i shall try and update as much as possible but in the mean time, i must leave to sort out our next place.
