Hey guys.

Just to let you know that I arrived safely yesterday morning!

Here's a quick update of what I've been upto since then. After a teary goodbye to Mum and Matt, I headed to the gate and got on the plane. The flight was fine, watched a film and then got some sleep!

I'd forgotten seeing it on the news but before we could get off the plane we got assessed by chinese health inspectors in case we had swine flu!!

So arrived at hostel, was sooooo hot but managed to get myself sorted and went to the Forbidden City, Tiannamen Sq and the Olympic Park and then today got up early after a s*** night's sleep and went for a wander (or giant hike) along the great wall of china!!

Off to Qingdao early 2moro! So keeping this one short!

Let me know any news, please! Will stop me getting so homesick!

Love you all!!
