Well got the confirmation and flight details through today. Off to China Saturday afternoon, via Paris, for the next 6 months. Off working in a couple of places in the country, Taiyuan about 200 miles SW of Beijing, and then 3 months in Ma'anshaan, about 300 miles W of Shanghai. Really looking forward to seeing a bit of the country and all it's magnificent sites. So I don't know when I'll be next around, depends if the Chinese authorities block this website. If they do, then after Saturday, I'll see you all Christmas. Email the ones I've got addresses for. Hope you all have a nice rest of year, by for now.

Think you've got my address?
xxbest of luck with your travels you lucky lucky man!
I got offered a job teaching English in China a little while ago but had to turn it down.
