Steeeeeeeeeeeeephennnnnnnnnn So after I hung up today and they found out who I was talking to, I got greeted by a girly chorus of "Awwwwwwwwwwwww"s and then I turned really red. I've very much enjoyed keeping up with ya'll's shenanigans, though I must say that I can't wait for ya'll to get here, I'm soooooooo excited to see you (and you too, Louisa)!! Every time I get mail, I walk around proudly displaying and babbling about you, I'm sure I'm becoming quite annoying. Anyway, I hope that you enjoy your not-falling-in hostel, I miss you and I'll speak to you soonnnnnnnn. Also, just pretend there was funniness in here, it was late when I typed it.

BFF Sexy Rexxy Hey Loop -d - Loops! Loving the photos! Looks like you are having an amazing time! I'm staying in with Jonni drinking Rose wine tonight - I shall think of you!! (I've had enough about hearing what you're doing, there needs to be some give and take - you, seeing world, me, drinking wine - same diff right?!) Looks like you are seeing some amazing sights, what has been the most breathtaking so far? LOVE YOU, Stay safe - that's an order xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Sexy Mark Face and his Mark Face Just to warn you i hear that there is a 97ft tall angry, mutated, crypto-fashist boisenberry that is rumoured to prowl the paddy fields of north eastern china in search of the meeeeeeeeeaaat. BEWARE! love you!

Zanny Hello! I am soooo jealous of all your exciting adventures! Looking forward to seeing photos, i'm hoping that the internet cafes of china will be more advanced than the mongolian variety, and you'll be able to conquer the technological difficulties of getting them loaded up. If you have time have a look at the photos on my facebook from bulgaria. My particular favourite is the ambulance that looks like a burn-out camper van now being used for storage, only with little blue lights on top. We decided all in all it would be good to avoid needing to use the ambulance service, which is probably a good rule in most situations... Love to you both and hope your having a wonderful time Zanna x x x

Elaine & Clive Hi Louisa and friend, Clive is soooo jealous cos he has always wanted to go to Ulaanbataar.I thought he was joking cos I'd never heard of it.Like the photos, looks fantastic. Have fun and stay safe.Lots of love xxxx

Carole, Ben, Hannah and Harry Hi there Louisa (and friend), all sounds weird and wonderful (I think in that order!!?). Hope you are enjoying yourselves as much as it sounds. Thinking of you xx
