hey fellas!!

know this is really late sorry this took forever. been inundated with texts and emails aplenty about the dangers and perils of the recent earthquake that inflicted china. really gotta thank the big guy up there He's been really good. props to you guys too appreciate the concern i feel vey loved haha. im pretty far off the afflicted area so everthing's pretty safe here. we're now in yangshuo its a quaint little town thats still pretty much an idyllic getaway.

all ive got is a graphic i ripped from andy from his travelblog! its the itinerary for our sojourn this time. we're gonna hang in yangshuo quite abit; take a bus out of here to guilin for an hr+ to get our chinese visas done. then off to the most westward part in urumqi and kashgar (where they filmed the kite runner) how kickass rite! celestial stuff la those rolling hills and plains that seem to go on forever. and the people! over in that part of china, alot of theme are actually Muslims did you know?? am stoked, imagine waking up to the prayer call, and 5 times a day of euphonic melodies.

ok i'd get more photos in abit! gonna makan breakfast now.
take care yesss.
