have just read all your adventures from Chile to China to Grandma. She was mortified to think that Dan had eaten dog and commented that it would be like eating Candy!!! She was worried to death when i read about your sea sickness and the experience with the South Korean spicy food. Apart from that she says everything sounds absolutely wonderful and she is pleased that you are enjoying yourselves. Grandma also says it was lovely to hear your voice on the phone the other day and she is looking forward to your return home safe and sound. Grandma and I are both sitting in her lounge and it is really difficult to think that you are both in China so far away. I must say the ice and snow festival is unbelieveable, absolutely amazing. That really would be something I would love to see if I could stand the temperatures!!!! Oh well back to reality your Grandma is falling asleep so better think about bed, take care of each other and loads of love from both of us x x x x x x x x x x x x x x
