That brings back great memories of China for me. The terracota army totally took my breath away. I never realised the sheer scale! The forbiden city and the summer palace were eye opening and a train journey to the winter palace at Chendre(?) was an experience more…

Hello you, I'm glad you have met up with Cathy and Pete now, perhaps you won't be so lonely. Be careful you don't fall in the water when you get your ferry!!! I've heard that Hong Kong is full of pickpockets so be careful.

Hello my dear,
You seem to be doing very well, am not sure about the McD's or KFC (it seems a long way to go to get some fast food! he,he)- do they come with rice!
It was really sad when Cathy left but its nice to know you guys are meeting up - I'll bet you'll have a ball!

Hello dear
Don't worry about the crystal - they have a habit of going to where they are needed on the earth, (perhaps Hiroshima did get my love!) They don't "belong" to us we only borrow them as they will long outlive us!
You must have fantastic leg muscles by now, altho I'm doubtful your beautiful singing voice has improved (haha) so more…
