ok, so that seemed to work....

So some more impressions of China:

It's a wonderfully vibrant, diverse, and crazy place. There are many suprises like babies and young children wearing trousers with no crotch area so they can just get held out to pee and such on the streets (one way to save on nappies!)

The food is excellent, and veggie food for Rachel is easy to come by. In Chgengdu (a big town in the Szechuan area) we tried a hot pot, a notoriously spicy dish involving a cauldron of boiling spices and chillies, which you put food in to cook. It was so hot each of us nearly fainted twqice and the whole restaurant thought it hilarious how red we went.

I've got to go now, but will keep you all posted.

Ali :)
