re: The Porcelain City
Jim Nice touches of observation. 'Pillows of fat' on the backsides of sheep is a vivid image - and grandpa would have loved the photos. I also liked the image of the tourist discovering he'd been using someone's shopping bag for his rubbish.

Jo 5 star entry. I am going to miss your wonderfully entertaining blogs, Ella, but, still there is one big bit of compensation! 3 days to go...
re: Friar Tuck and the nomads
Ella Yes, I'm nearly home now - just a couple more days in Beijing and then I'll fly home to England. I won't use this website any more after I go home, because I don't think I'll be doing anything so interesting as I am in China, but I think I gave you my email address in our last lesson, so if you send me a message I can tell you about England that way :) Enjoy your holiday!

re: Tiger Leaping Gorge
Stephanie Ella - I think you should continue writing a blog at uni! - I fear I will have withdrawal symptoms soon. What luck for me, as Nicole's mum, that her PT partner writes so beautifully x
