George's World Travels
Hi everyone,
sorry i havent put up a postcard in a while.
have had a hectic few days!
First of all as you may have guessed from my mums message, I got my wallet stolen on Monday! Happened when I was coming out of the post office with a huge parcel and these guys all just came up behind me. I couldnt have my hands over my pockets properly from holding the parcel and yeh in one of my pockets was my wallet. It all happened really quickly and was so annoyed! Im usually so careful.
Anyway it wasnt too much of a disaster. I only had my debit card in there, and thats been cancelled, and the travellers cheques I had in there should be replaced when I get to Beijing. Worryingly at the time, I had my key and my address card in my wallet (for taxis) so we had to get the locks changed at my appartment quickly. Luckily all that was sorted quickly, and TPA were very good. I was also with Rachel at the time, which was a lot better than being by myself, especially as I then had no money on me or key!
Besides from that (!) Ive had a good few days. Rachel braided my hair last night and we had a nice afternoon drinking wine outside (see picture) and eating a good but very slowly prepared lunch at a cafe.
Im getting packed for my trip to China now. Am leaving tomorrow morning at 7am, urgh! for my 30 hr train ride to beijing.
We're having a leaving meal tonight, which should be nice but probably quite sad and surreal. Very strange going to Millies this morning for breakfast for the last time. aah :( i got a camel charm for my charm bracelet at the shop there though, which is cool.
As I only just got dads parcel, Im distributing out the books he sent, and have kept Pompei for myself. And all the choc and biscuits will be good for the train :)
I dont think Ill be able to put up postcards or pics as often when Im in China. For ppl who dont know, im on a 21 day tour from Beijing to Hong Kong starting 9th May. On the way we'll be stopping at Xi'an to see the Terracotta Worriors and Shanghai, to name but a few places.
oh, if I cant get online before the 9th, a BIG happy birthday is in order for J, Becky and Rachel. Hope you all have a fun day. Will be thinking of you.
I think thats it for now. Until Beijing...
