Well I left Ireland on the 2nd of July 2010, so I have been travelling now for quite a while. I backpacked through Thailand, Cambodia and Laos for 2 months and I had an absolute ball. Then I set up base in China for 6 months to teach English. After that I was off again, I backpacked down through China for a month and then crossed into Vietnam where I travelled around for a bit. Finally I flew to Australia on April 12th with a one years working holiday visa.

Hi there Elaine!
I live near Seattle, Washington State, USA and have been following some of your travels. Google tells me when you're on the Internet. I'm an old guy and have been married 37 years. I have always dreamed of going to China. Maybe someday. We have been to Europe, however. In the meantime I will enjoy your writing and pictures. My garden is rather extensive. Check out my albums on Webshots. http://community.webshots.com/user/phildert Best regards, Mike

Hello to my namesake!
Hi Mike, maybe google tells you when I'm online as we are long lost relatives or something!! Anyways glad you're enjoying my travel blogs, keep the dream alive and someday you just may make it to China. Unfortunately I can't view your website as it is blocked by the Chinese government, it's just one more thing that is part and parcel of Chinese culture access to the many internet websites are restricted.
