I was a little apprehensive about leaving the Philippines for China, and more than a little sad to be leaving after the amazing and fascinating time I had had on the island. But the time had come to move on, and I was so excited at the prospect of meeting up with Antony, the first person from home that I was going to see since leaving the UK 7 months previously.

i have this vague memory of two friends.......
thanks for the postcard - it looks awesome, wish I could be there. Nice to see you've got rid of your overdramatic tendencies and played it cool about the leg. (hehe) Good to hear from you. Hope it all goes well.

You???? Overdramatic!!!
Hi Em. Good reading as usual. Fancy Mike thinking you might be over dramatic! Not like you at all! Thoughts of meeting you in Vietnam now occupying almost ALL of my thoughts. Can't wait to see you. Maybe not quite looking forward to seeing the mozzies though! Keep them coming (journals that is). Love Mum xx

Great escapism
Hey Em! Great to see you in the Tai chi pics you look the business. Sitting at work reading about your adventues makes me feel very envious but gives me great escapism so keep them coming! Missing you!

Take-away?
Wow... and ow, sorry to hear about your leg playing-up again. One question that's been bugging me for a long time is what is the Chinese take on delivery food? E.g.

And I am taking this chance to challenge you to a round of "sh*t-head" sometime after your return! Kx
