Chocolate party? Do like the mood and tone of brother Joe's blog, - I wonder is that a free chocolate fountain? If so can i work for Chinaclimb and organise outlandish chocolate eating competions? No, seriously, you all seem to be having fun, - perhaps I should visit before the party is over! STUART
Alreet dudes and dudette! Sounds like your all havin a load of fun out there, which is good to hear... I flicked through the photos with this post before actually reading it and was slightly concerned the trip was turning into some macabre injury-fest... I'm certainly glad the apparent damage to Andy's peashooter is only fake bandaging... Speaking of injuries, the dislocated shoulder is back in action - I'm still sad you weren't around for that event, Joe, to insist on photographic evidence... Also, happy birthday to Andy for Yesterday!!! Peace and love. Will.x
Hey guys, sounds like your having an absolutely incredible time out there. I'm definitely thinking about doing a similar thing myself next year! Keep enjoying yourselves and try to steer clear of all the snakes and spiders! xxx
Still hating. I can't believe that im off for the best holiday ever tomorrow and still insanely jealous of you!!! However, Bobby, Row and I have made a meagre attempt to have fun without you: We spent a day at Europe's LARGEST street carnival, a day of mild sandstone climbing and an evening of attempted wild swimming. WHOOP.
Claire an I will be in shanghai in a week and a bit- may we come visit katie? could you email us your chinese number and we'll call in a few days? xxxxxxxxx
ps. claire says hi.
Wow, your pics look amazing. I was tempted to line up my super IBM internship against this, but who am I kidding?? I sit in a darkened room with bits of paper and chairs and stuff, and *you* are in China!! So envious! I am also pleased to note that despite being in a new country, even a country as exotic as China, your 'faffing' was severe enough to warrant a mention in the blog, Joe :P
Enjoy every second of it, you lucky devils.
Jealous in London Its rather gutting that you are having such a good time, shame you arent in forced labour really!
So have you guys managed any climbs yet? andy gotten above 5 metres?
Sounds like all you were hoping for came true really, and more- are you actually ever going to work at all? Or in fact ever return?
Please don't- I fully intend on coming out and joining you in a year's time...

Serious Envy Greetings to the ChinaCrew from sunny (ha ha ha) south-west Scotland!
I'd like you all to know that you have triggered off a serious attack of envy here and I'm the one suffering. However, I'll learn to cope, I guess. Fabulous to read your news and to hear about the bliss of night swimming (yes... there is a song title in there). Knowing only one of you (Joe) makes it difficult to guess which nickname goes with whom. I'm surprised there isn't a Hidden Rabbit amongst you but maybe that's me just being polite.
I look forward to hearing more and, all being well, seeing some photographs from Joe's shiny new camera.
Enjoy it all in every way possible. I think what you're doing is marvellous.
All the best for nooooo!
Pete
