In reply to a particularly pointless comment, which i havent put up, i can assure you that saying no once does not work. In one case a girl followed us round a temple, despite the fact that both of us had already said 'No, thank you' several times. Giving them money is not going to help them survive, it's going to keep them on the streets begging for money, instead of school and work because they (and their parents) know they can get it if they're persistant enough.

You do realise this is the sort of character-building experience you went for?? No, seriously, there are other sorts of mishap that would be much more worthy of long tales when you get home, and this sort of boredom you could well do without...sorry to hear it. x

Chinese Officialdom
Ahh Welcome to what typifies Chinese officaldom. Yor experience puts me in mind of my two and a half years in China and why I used to send Chinese negotiators to renew my visas. Once though in Hong Kong I had a similarly unhelpful administrator who became the direct opposite when Ioffered to pay him for his advise. Who said Chinese were anti capitalists.

Steak
I'll have you know, that steak was not medium. It was still bleeding! I'm fairly sure the cow has to be dead for it to count as steak.

When I was looking at Annie's pics on Facebook, I was REALLY ENVYING this part of your trip more than any other - the desert looks so beautiful - but thank you for your blog putting things into perspective!!!!!! I now know I'm better off at home with a warm fire and a pair of slippers. (NOT!! Still really jealous!!!!)

The thing I love most about travelling is that it forces you to live in the moment. You never really think more than a few days ahead, if that. It's about what you're doing now. How do we get there? Where does that go? I wonder what that's like. And it gives you an incredible feeling of freedom. At home, we bog ourselves down with worries and plans that keep us focused on what will happen in the future. But when travelling, all that stuff doesn't matter. You deal with it when it happens. In 2008/09 I went backpacking round the world. Well, some of it. I'm... full info
