Try not to hold up any traffic in Tianenmen Square! Sounds like just the sight of Ben and Rocket will be enough to bring it to a standstill! Out of breath just reading about your whirlwind tour. The food in Vietnam is supposed to be awesome. Well Jel! Xxx
Hi Chris,
The fare tonight made pigs ears seem positively appetizing! Fried insects on sticks. I was compelled to wash away the memories with a couple of Tsingtaos.
Living the dream Hello the traveling team - Glad to hear that you made it there safe and sound. I am really glad to hear that the ladies traveled in style - way to go Sand and Carys! I am sure you had Ben flirting with the flight attendants to fanagle some more snacks. Love the pictures and the blog, have a great adventure.
Hi Deb....good to hear from you. We're having a great time here seeing the world. Shame the kids have school as I think Mr & Mrs S would stay traveling longer!
Keep them coming Heloooooo,
I am enjoying the Beijing updates. Next May I will be there for the first time and B is joining me after the congress. All tourist tips welcome.
Will you be doing the pandas? (bears not Fiats).
Just seen a table indicating about 60m tourists visit China (3rd) each year. About the same number the US (2nd) and well over 80m (1st) France. From what you say it sounds like all 60m are in Beijing!
Pigs ears - all crisped up like corn flakes?
Pandas aren't on the agenda - much to Carys' disappointment. The pigs ears were thin, moist slices. They may have been uncooked. It did try them and I can't say that I rushed back for more. They had the texture of gristle. Crunchy in a nasty slippery kind of way!
Hi Natalie. I miss you too. There are lots of panda things in China mostly hats and stuffies. I didn't see any tiger things yet. Bbbooooooo. I will see you when school starts. From Carys.

Dear Mr. B. Urglar Smithy.....don't ever forget that if your career prospects at Cargill ever look bleak, there will always be a place for you down at the comedy club. Serving my drinks.
