So we just got to China, after an epic train journey. Almost everyone on the train was western as it was the weekly train UB to Beijing so we made lots of friends. English, Americans, Dutch, Swedish, was a party!

There was rousing classical music as we got in to China and we got to see them change the train bogeys (wheels) as Chinese tracks are a non standard width. Was most exciting.

The man here has just told me no USB, so no pictures until we figure out a way past that, and there are some awesome pictures to come.

We just had mega peking duck and pancakes, it was indeed a banquet. and so so cheap!

be typing again soon
