Leaving for China...

Well I have repacked my rucksack for the fifth time, trying to drive out all unnecessary items, and I think I'm finally ready! Stress is beginning to give way to excitement, and I am looking forward to arriving and seeing what China is like.

I've just tried to make a little map of where we are planning to go. The route isn't set in stone, but it will be something like:

Shanghai > Hangzhou > Yi'chaing > Chongqing > Chengdu > Xi'an > Luoyang > Beijing > Huizhou > Hong Kong > Shanghai

Internet access is supposed to be quite good in China and I hope to keep adding notes whilst on my travels. Unfortunately, I know the Chinese government censor and block quite a lot of sites, including blogs, so we'll have to see how that works...
