Well ok technically I am back in New Zealand now, I didn't have time to get this posted before I left Asia. We left China on the 16th and flew to Bangkok from Beijing, and now it's the 20th and I am in Auckland. But mostly this blog is about China. That place is freakin crazy, and so I figured I'd get the last entry from Asia posted before anything nutty happens here in NZ. Returning to Bangko... Read Full Entry

What up?
In homage to you, B and I had dinner on Friday in China town. I'm sure it's not quite the same as the ridiculous food you're eating. I'm glad you had a great time in Asia. I've always wanted to see the Great Wall. Good luck in New Zealand! PS-I love the Hello Kitty in the corner of your posh hotel pic.

All journeys have secret destinations of which the traveler is unaware.
