First of all sorry for taking so long to write another one of these, have been pretty busy though.. Think that when I last wrote we were just about to return to Shanghai from Huangshan? Well that seems a world away from where we are now in vibrant Buenos Aires. And it did take a while to get here. Anyway back to Shanghai, I'll try and fill you in a bit, it wasn't our favourite Chinese city by quite a long way, it didn't seem to have anything like the history or...

Hello! Quite tired so apologies if parts of this don't make sense (will explain tiredness later.) So we're about two week into our time in China and by now feel quite at home with the Chinese and habits. We started off in Beijing - after leaving the train and our Vodkatrain group (great bunch) we managed to navigate the metro and find our hostel in one of the 'hutong' districts.

We did the jou...

Hey Guys, You asked for a blog so here goes, don't know how often I'll be able to update it though... Anyway, we're here in cold, snowy Moscow! Flight over was fun as had only 37 people on our plane out of about 160 spaces and it just so happened that the comedians Andy Parsons and Ed Byrne were on our flight! (think they may be filming something as had lots of equipment so keep your eyes peeled!) On arriving we had to negotiate getting from the airport to our...
