Well here we are back in Hong Kong where we started from a few weeks ago. Anyway we have just done 38hrs by train in 2 days which was very traumatising as the painters and decorators have popped in and they only sell surf boards in China and no tampax. God help those athletes when the olympics come round if anything goes on. No wonder there aren't many female swimmers and sychro lasses about if you have to go round wearing a nappy/surf board.

All in all though we have had quite a good trip but it has had its moments along the way. Language is a bit of a problem some of the times but just point and its all good you eventually end up with what you want. Also it was quite a culture shock as i dont think any of us were quite prepared for how poor people really are and guess we do take things for granted and dont really appreciate how fortunate we truely are.

Eventually saw some paddy fields today as well on the train down from Beijing which was well cool as for some strange reason have always wanted to see these.

Anyway we are all well and present, going out for some beers now for a belated Hannah's B'day, also Temple Street market again for a barter and a bargain hunt. Well hope you have enjoyed this small diary off events, am sure i will be off again before you know it.
