Hmm, thought I only had a month but would appear not, so yay 
I'm in China right now, it's amazing: the food, the people, everything. The flights here were pretty long and stuff, I flew Manchester - Amsterdam - Beijing - Urumqi, basically amounting to about 24 hours travelling. Worth it though.
Everyone here stares at me, I noticed in in Beijing, but not as much as here in Urumqi where you basically don't see westerners. The two girls who I'm staying with are both short and I just stick out like a sore thumb with my 5 foot 10ish self. I like it though, it's like being famous. I guess the novelty could wear off, but for now it's just funny.
Basically as soon as I got here I had some drama from home texted to me. I debated whether to mention thi on the internet, but I won't say names and I don't know anyone in person from on here, so I think it's okay for me to get it out of my system.
I used to be with this guy, we'll call him Mark for the purposes of this post. We were together for about a year and a half, during which time we lived together. We broke up in September, getting back together once, but now we're not together. We've stayed best friends since we split and tell each other... Almost everything I suppose. I had another boyfriend for a few months and during that time (maybe just after...) Mark was sleeping with a girl who I'll call Jessica. It was a casual thing and not a relationship. Anyway, recently Mark and I have been much closer and we've talked about things, basically agreeing we still care about each other and want to be together. We're leaving it until he finishes his studies in a few months so he can focus on that and we can make sure that it is definately what we both will still want.
Anyway, it was basically decided that we still love each other and will get back together in the coming months. Except I got a text two days ago saying that Jessica is pregnant. It's definately Mark's and she might be keeping the baby. AARGH. Messes everything up. He is NOT the type to leave her to cope alone. If she has the kid he will be an active father to it. It pretty much means that any chance we have of working on me and him would be gone.
Gah.
In other news I am thinking of spending my summer in Barcelona. I used to live there and it is proper cheap to fly to. Miss living somewhere warm so badly.
Anyway, that is all for now, China photos coming soon.

So have fun in China and I hope everything works out when you get home.
My name's Mark, Mark's a good name.
