there is nothing poetic about it. The instruction in Chinese was merely passable, so never mind the translation.

You know I love China! But do you a know what the translation for 'halogen' is? You are probably the only person who might be able to help!

Is korfball in the Olympics?
Good to see you are on the move as usual. Pity you had to perform that jig in your nighty due to lost luggage. Nice to see collage friends sticking together. From the title thought you'd visited Dartmoor so slightly dissappointed. Down here, renovation finally complete, moving in next week. Almost killed me. T

I stumbled upon your blog by accident, but I enjoyed seeing a post from Minnesota! I drove through there once and actually really enjoyed the beautiful scenery. My blog is looking for travel reviews (like of poutine in Minnesota!), photos, etc. If you have the time, check it out at dirty-hippies.blogspot.com, or email me at dirtyhippiesblog@gmail.com. Continued fun on your travels! Heather :)

Hi Miranda, be careful what you wish for! I maybe back over in June to Minnesota, I think it's quite a good place to visit you from. It can't be more than a couple of hours flight to visit you from there. I've got a bit of holiday to use up.

I'll be back over again pretty soon
No Facebook for me am afraid. I seem to be spending far too much time on your side of the Atlantic, about to come over again. Whistler from 23rd Jan, and then probably back again in March for another week. Canadian skiing is the best!

Mrs Li??? Mommy will be perplexed. Only Madame Wan in the family. Mainland Chinese women don't change their surname after marriage, so Mrs is not used.

mary darling, when Chinese call someone comrade xxx, the correct word order shall be surname/given name/full name followed by comrade, so in this case, it will be Mao (zedong) tongzhi.

Yakety yak
Glad you made it to the roof of the world. Assume you are not going to bring back any of those yak balls like last time for your colleagues who have been putting in the hard yards. Talking of which, good tip about the Prostrating Pilgrims for my next trek - I have time on my hands. Since you've been away you've missed Strictly Come Dancing and the Snooker Grand Prix. Gutted. Safe travels. T
