                    <title>Two weeks in Turkey</title>
                    <description>Wow. We're home. Seven months of freedom has come to and end. Time to get jobs. Time to start remembering birthdays. Time to get our own apartment and start planning a wedding. Ok it's not all bad.We've been home about five days now. Every time I go to the loo a shed a tear of a appreciation for the westernstyle toilet. No more squatting although Tom's a squatter from way back and misses them</description>

                    <description>Hi everyoneStuck with me as VV is doing CVjob stuff.The last place we visited was Beijing. You want the good news or the bad news firstOK OK. BAD NEWS FIRSTOfficially the spitting and pushing capital of the world and generally anything else they can find to piss people off from other civilized countries. The first thing we noticed about Beijing was how much they s</description>

                    <description>We get now why this place aint on the budget traveler route through Asia. Our bank accounts are now on the verge of selfdestruction without any splurging or excessive shopping  but if you ask us there isn't a place on earth we would have rather had that happen.In two weeks Japan had been magical exciting cool entertaining and cultural in a completely different way than we've experienced s</description>

                    <title>West meets East  Last two weeks in China</title>
                    <description>The second half of our month in China was by far the best. We left our luggage at the hostel in Guilin and took a dayovernight trip to a tiny hill village called Ping'an. Its one of a few small farming communities collectively know as The Dragons Backbone famed for their rice terraces. Believe me it took a lot of convincing from Tom to get me to go and see a rice farm but surprisingly it was re</description>

                    <description>We really like China. Its a far cry from where weve been. Its like being back in the real world without having to go to work every day Theres bins in the street and footpaths so no more near misses from tuk tuks. The hostels have HAIRDRYERS AND 24 hour hot water. The public transport could be described as delightful and the overnight trains are a dream. People are really friend</description>

                    <description>Our last stop in Nepal is Kathmandu. Were pretty stoked we came back here to finish the Nepal Circuit cause we got a whole better feel for it this time than the few days we spent here before the hike. Having arrived last time at about 9.30pm everything pretty much closes at 10pm and being offered an array of drugs strippers and dodgy hotels PLUS being charged about 5 times what we should hav</description>

                    <description>It was tough leaving Pokhara. Wed just gotten so damn used to doing not much and eating chocolate and steak everyday that the thought of not doing that was really hard to bear A couple of days before Christmas our guest house had managed to arrange for our bag which wed left in Kathmandu to be delivered to us. That saved us about two days of travel time and 20 quid from not having to go a</description>

                    <description>Harrow everyone and Happy Xmas and new year. We were in Pokhara for just over 10 days before jumping on a bus to go south where Buddha was born in a place called Lumbini. Pokhara we have both decided is a cracker of a tourist destination and definitely our favorite touristy place on this trip so farThe location is picturesque with snow capped mountains huge blue lakes perfect weather al</description>

                    <description>Hi Everyone. Long time no updateThe last time we posted an update we had just finished in Bangladesh and were heading back into India. To keep it brief we visited the Gorkhaland territory of Darjeeling overlooking the Himalayas. This place is famous for tea and our first mission was to see some tea estates and have a look around a factory. The place we chose  Happy Tea Valley  was the exclusiv</description>

                    <description>THE ROCKET  KHULNA TO DHAKA After we were helped by Major Russell in Bagerhat to book our Rocket tickets we boarded the P.S. Ostrich First class to take us from Khula north to Dhaka. Now will probably be a good time to mention that Bangladesh is probably one of the cheapest countries in the world so our minimum budget in India was nonapplicable here. We lived in the midrange bracket Food i</description>

Its worth itOK so Bangladesh. WOW. What an interesting country it has been. Its hard to understand why so few tourists come here being so close to South East Asia and India etc. Bangladesh is seriously off the beaten track and during our stay here we only</description>

                    <description>It really doesnt help your patience when you have a dodgy tummy but the touts and nasty rickshaw drivers are like flies to shiz with the tourists in Agra. Unless you can afford a luxury AC automobile youll be harangued and hassled and bullied into visiting crummy guest houses owned by brothers or cousins and handicraft shops and other useless places. But Tom made it very clear to our ricksha</description>

                    <description>Hi everyone. Since VVs last post we have been to two places1 DelhiOK So we were well prepared for this one. After being warned by a few people that Delhi is one of those necessary things you have to visit quickly and then get out of and 2 pages in the guide book advising you of all the scams to avoid we arrived about lunch time completely covered in sand dunes dirt and good knows what else.</description>

                    <description>Its the day after Diwali and everything is closed....except for this internet cafe. Weve pretty much spent the day in our room in front of the telly cause we couldnt get a train or a bus out of here because of the holidays. Weve watched The Exorcist Raiders of the Lost Ark Friends and Home Alone 2 starts in an hour so we gotta be quickRight now we are in Jaisalmer. The most deserty of the deser</description>

                    <description>Were SO glad we stopped in Junagadh. First off it was 10 000 steps instead of the initially thought 7000 but whats 3000 between fiancs So we arrived in Junagadh checked into a decent little hotel. Got some nice Thali  Vegetarian of course and then went to bed. Alarm set for 5am. We tried to sleep with all the madness outside resembling something like Swat Valley in Pakistan.

                    <description>I think Ill just ignore that last post and put it back as far as possible in the depths of my mind with the half rotten dead dog we saw on the side of the road in Ellora and the person who got knocked off their moped in Panaji.After some do we dont we discussions about Diu we decided we do and hopped on a bus from Aurangabad three days ago.

                    <description>Hi everyone. More of a newsflash than a proper update. On a night bus from Aurangabad to Ahmedabad. 800pm we stop for a toilet break. VV is nicely relaxed on the bus and i suggest to her that now is the time to go to toilet if she needs to coz we probably wont stop until the morning. She says she is fine and doesnt need to go. 810pm After 10 minute break the bus continues on its path nort</description>
