It seemed that the one hour time difference from Vietnam to China thankfully didn't really put us in that jet lagged zone, it was the 43 hours of virtually no sleep and laying horizontal on the same train that did. There were no touts at Beijing station to push us around, screaming 'cheap price' grabbing all our bags insisting they take us to their cheap hotels, I actually felt slightl... Read Full Entry

Thank you for your comment. I found in Beijing, Da Tong, Pungyao and now Xi'an I still can not access certain BLOGS. I too am able to see news pages BBC, CNN, but not Reuters for some reason! But my point was it is blogs I can not access most are part of blogspot, blogware, bloglines. The two I miss are 'brave new traveller' and 'random acts of reality' and some person friends blogs....worldhun I can get. So this makes this travelblog.org quiet special right now. Also some people with us can not access hotmail from the north maybe its better in Shanghai?. Thank you for your good wishes.

love your blogs
I've been following your blogs since Cambodia now and absolutely love them. I don't know what I'll do when you finish travelling? Keep them coming and continue having a great time. I hope I get to meet other bloggers when I'm in Cambodia and Vietnam later in the year.

Enjoyed your writing and humor. We are about to enter China from Vietnam, but intend to stay in the west near Kunming. W
