Naresh You lucky, lucky, LUCKY girl! My husband and I were spueospd to go to China for our honeymoon but he was still active duty military and one of our AF planes went down there and he wasn't allowed to go and well anyway, we didn't get to visit. But I did live in Korea for three years so did see a lot of amazing temples and such!

Cepeker hallo, herzlich wlelkommin!! Se3o Paulo is foda! I was in your concert here in CCSP and I can say one thing: ich mag es! It was great. The live performance (of the songs I just knew and heard via soundcloud) was really perfect and touching. the love for music was all filling up your eyes during the gig !I was living in Germany in last year but unfortunately I just got to know the group in some weeks ago, via a good friend. I hope you guys make a good stay here in Brazil!!!LGMarie

Wendy O'Neill Leave some of the planet for the rest of us to explore won't you!! :-) Have fun..

Sian not much of a crier, best line i've heard in a while from your fine self! ha. Very jealous of your travels - sounds amazing sexpot! x

Linda Watling Zoe, The Watling family will be in Toronto from Thursday 5th then on to Lake Placid(New York State) then onto Vermont(mmm Ben and Jerry's ice cream factory)and then a week in a house in Chatham,Cape Cod tthen Boston then home.Not quite as epic as your road trip but we did the California,Yosemite and Vegas trip 2 years ago.Molly had a strop in the Grand Canyon because she did not get the Cheetos in her lunchbox.Have a fantastic time. Love Linda

Sean (William!) Insanely jealous. Say hello to Roxy for me, I'm sad i'll not get to meet this beast of an automobile you talk so fondly about.

Wendy Hi Zoe, That food parcel was awesome, only you would get Maltesers posted half way round the world. Can we have a phot of the pink poncho please??

Sooz Who needs Toronto Islands when you have Lake Ontario and more food than is normal/safe for two people to consume! Just watched 500 Days of Summer, Zooey Deschanel reminds me of you, although the way she spells her name is highly dubious! xx

Sean (William!) Ahhhhh, Kunming lake and polyester princess dresses - I am so insanely jealous of your China times! x

William! hey w***er, I haven't commented on this blog post yet! Here it is. Parcel is taking shape - ding ding!

Wendy Hi Zoe, I don't envy you the return train journey - lol - but I do the teracotta army - amazing.. From what I can gather the main theme of your blog/trip appears to be cycles (of some description) and food :-) Keep it coming..

Madden/Elspeth Very amusing blog post..fave bit=the lovely chinese men you shared the train compartment with..couldn't help but chuckle at the snoring and farting bit- yes i am that immature!! Sounds like you had a great time in Xi'an.i would love to visit the terracotta warriors and you simply must teach me this chinese drinking game! Thanks for describing me as your lovely frend :) Actually CANNOT wait to see you!! X

Adam Now theres a comment - John Redrup teaching someone how to cook!!! Unless its a curry its not getting made. Can't believe you didn't delight in something as low as a McDonalds. Your self control is astonishing, especially Cadbury fingers. I can't hold back at the best of times! Looking forward to the next one. Loves you

SarahJ Hey Zoe, Hilarious - are you going to publish your memoirs? Am sat at my desk (can you picture it?) tittering quietly to myself. On a serious note - Mmmm Johnny Depp - watched Finding Neverland on Monday (without subtitles!) and am officially in love!

Sean (William!) Highlight: "it looked like anaemic brain".
