Hi!!!!!!!
HAPPY 19TH BIRTHDAY LITTLE BRUVAA!!! I did text you but I'm not sure you got it!! Hope you have a wicked time and sorry I can't be there! I'll try and find you something good 4 a pressie in Vietnam!!
Yesterday was a very good day! We spent the day doing nothing untill about 4pm then we went for a sichuan hot pot dinner with a guy called Matt from the hostel! That was awesum!!! You get given a soup base which is then heated up on a little hotpot in front of you, then you order loads of ingredients like veg and tofu and then u make your own sauce! Then u mix it all 2gether and eat it! It's really fun food but Matt had a spicy soup base and he nearly died! Was very funny!
Then we went to the 'face changing opera' which was frigin awesum!!! They did a sort of variety show of china's traditional entertainment, like dancing, fire breathing, shadow puppets etc... And the face changing thing was like magic!! I have no idea how they did it but they would manage to somehow manage to change their masks and clothes in a split second!! It was mad!!
At the opera we met some Canadians and Americans who then invited us out to go clubbing - China Style!! They both spoke fluent Mandarin as well so we couldn't really turn down the opportunity! The Brighton couple at our hostel came with us as well and OH MY GOD! it was something else!! Sooooo much fun and we all danced with and talked to Chinese ppl and got abit drunk! Didn't get back till 3am!! It was a lot of fun though and I'm so glad weve finally been out in China! They have live singers in the clubs that you're not allowed to take pictures of, so maybe they're famous...who knows!?!
2day I have decided to develop a stinking cold which is making me feel horrible and incapable of life! lols! I'm hoping it's just a hang over cold and I'll be ok 2moro! We've got to get up super early as were starting the Yangtze river cruise (leaving the hostel at 6am!! eecch!!) Early night 2nite indeed! Looking forward to going on our little cruise tho!! Were in a 4 bed dorm, and our experience so far in dorms have been really good! bring on the river!!!
Sarah, my poor unfortunate little wife, has lost her travel card and as such cant get any money out!! We don't know how it happened but it is now EXTREMELY important that i keep hold of my card as both lots of our money will be in my account! Silly Sarah.
Everythings all good in general (apart from I can't stop sneezing!!) We won't be able to blog untill we get to Hong Kong now, which will be Wednesday!! Keep posting comments though and look at the new pictures!!
Love you all! And dad, don't worry, I won't drink the river water!! = )
Loves
