Health and safety! I think those fine public servants who do such a sterling job back in blighty should come and check out the Harbin ice festival. Walking around a park constructed entirely of ice, including all the staircases, not to mention the -30C temperature should give them something to think about!
Beijing We must have almost been in Beijing at the same time. We arrived there on 4th April and flew to Xian to see the terracotta warriors and the museums. We then came back to Beijing and did the forbidden palace, the temple of heaven and the great wall at Badaling. On our last day we went on the hutong tour in the rickshaw then to see the birds nest stadium and the water cube and a market before we left for home at about midnight. It was along trip home but we finally made it on Sunday evening and are still catching up.
Glad things are going well for you all. Love Christine & David xx
The Ultimate Tourist My name is Jennie and i would just like to inform you that there now is a webpage called http://theultimatetourist.com, where tourists around the world finally can get some use out of all the photos they have, posing by different tourist attractions.
Here you can choose from over one hundred attractions and typical touristic activities, upload your photos and collect one tourist point for each photo. Reach different levels and everybody over 80 points will become Ultimate Tourists (Remember you have to be in the photos yourself, to prove you were actually there.. :).
So if you want to compete with your photos, or just spread the word, go into theultimatetourist.com
Swedes are dominating the top 20-list for the moment. Challenge them!
Contact coming Hi all
Jo you may get a comment from a Leah shortly. I have passed on your details to Leah, who is in Shanghai teaching and would love to make contact. Most importantly her Father is a former Royal Marine so you cannot get a better recommendation than that.
Hope life is treating you well and clearly must be as the blogging appears to have stopped. Difficulties of an intense social calender I assume!
See you in March.
Love
David
Do you have the address? I'm with a SCIS Student Council and we're looking to hold an event at this location, is there any chance that you have the address or the contact information for the camp?
Thanks so much!

Having a great time Hi, pleased to hear you're having a fantastic time. Jo's new school sounds fab. Just starting half term here - thank goodness! Enjoy the rest of your trip.
Happy New Year! Sorry you have been poorly, what a bummer. Sounds like you had a lovely time. More exciting than us, we were in bed with a cuppa at 10.30! Rock and roll.
Lucky you, having oliebollen - haven't had those for years. Too many calories!
Lots of love to you all.

HAPPY CHRISTMAS! Wow! Well, we haven't had a blog for a little while, but this one made up for it. Well done on your Winter Festival, your Dad would have been proud of you for all that organisation! William looks very serious and concentrating hard on his Billy Goat Gruff role, bless him. I can just imagine Sophie and Sarah in Barbie heaven, it looks every little girl's dream. What a wonderful time and what experiences you are having. Will be thinking of you all this week. Loads of love to you all.

Joanna,
Just a line to wish you a Very Happy Birthday! I'm sure you'll have a good celebration. Not long now 'til you're back in the UK. Hope everything goes well with the various moves.
Lots of love.
Glad you are having a lovely time with Jo, Ian, Sophie and William! You're not missing much here, the weather has been really windy, make the most of the warm weather out there! Have a safe trip home. xx
Mothers Day Enjoy your last few days in Shanghai and especially mothers day!! How excellent to manage two in a year. Safe journey back, loved your blog and look forward to catching up with you in July when Jo is back. Julie
Fantastic Experience Well done you!! It's been a bit of year hasn't it? Moved house, travelled all the way to China solo and now becoming a seasoned blogger! Enjoy your time in China, I'm envious and looking forward to catching up with you and Jo in July. Take care. Julie
What a great way to spend Easter! I'm actually in Shanghai now and loving it. It's funny because my cousin lives near Zhongshan park. It's really busy on Sundays! I spent Easter in Xian. It was wonderful! Maybe you can try going. The warriors are very impressive. I got my tickets from Springtravel which is located on Ding Xi Lu. A roundtrip flight was about 1100rmb. I LOVE the prices here!
Me again What a coincidence! What are the chances that we are both from cities named Boston. I have never met anyone with my name before.
I'll definitely keep reading if you promise to keep sharing.
