Great to hear all about your adventures, and to see the photos - the pandas were very popular here at work! It's amazing to hear, and see, all about this distant and very different land. You really bring it to life. You've both got a career ahead of you in travel writing if you want it! The monk however was totally out of order - no excuse for that sort of behaviour! - and the accommodation sounded a bit dodgy, to say the least. Not much to report from Blighty. Work much quieter without the 'blonde dragon'! England back to being pants at footy! Hopefully the rugby will go better at the weekend. Look forward to hearing the latest news. Top tip ... keep clear of frustrated looking 'men of the cloth'!?!?

Hi Rachelle and The Welsh Git,
Just got back from a great time in Africa, but your blogs trump on me (makes a change, eh, mate??!) Have a great time and will post again soon.

Antony totally made my day just now. The giggling girls wanting to take a picture with the "blonde dragon". I am crying right now, I was laughing so hard. These blogs are great. No offense to my incredibly talented and intelligent sister but I can immediately tell when Antony wrote the blog because he uses words I would have to look up in a Thasauras to find the definition of. I guess that is a hit on me more than anyone. I love you guys!

Hello,
Am pleased that your experiences in China have picked up since your first day... brings back fond memories of my first day in the USA... dodgy taxi, extortionate fare, rain! Great to hear that you are having a great time and seeing the world. If you get any good recipies pass em on. Spare a thought for us who have to read and digest the 194 page epic that is the Tooke Review!

Hi Rachelle & Tony!
Hope the trip to Beijing was ok - taxis are cheap but be sure that the driver uses the taxometer, otherwise they try to take too much money from you!
And dont give money to beggars. If one gets money, loads of beggars are after you and try to get money too. They are organised groups.
Dont miss the Great Wall and take your time there!
