I'll be back over again pretty soon No Facebook for me am afraid. I seem to be spending far too much time on your side of the Atlantic, about to come over again. Whistler from 23rd Jan, and then probably back again in March for another week. Canadian skiing is the best!
Glad to see you are getting over to my part of the world Hey, enjoyed your blog - I was in Florida for Christmas - so at least we were in the same country! Glad to see you are enjoying the best that North America has to offer. Are you on facebook yet? in my sad existence it is the only way i communicate these days.
Mrs Li??? Mommy will be perplexed. Only Madame Wan in the family. Mainland Chinese women don't change their surname after marriage, so Mrs is not used.
mary darling,
when Chinese call someone comrade xxx, the correct word order shall be surname/given name/full name followed by comrade,
so in this case, it will be Mao (zedong) tongzhi.
Yakety yak Glad you made it to the roof of the world. Assume you are not going to bring back any of those yak balls like last time for your colleagues who have been putting in the hard yards. Talking of which, good tip about the Prostrating Pilgrims for my next trek - I have time on my hands. Since you've been away you've missed Strictly Come Dancing and the Snooker Grand Prix. Gutted.
Safe travels.

Photos They are abasolutley AMAZING. I bet you're trying to refrain from posting them all! Really stunning - or is it your knack for taking brilliant photos?

Have fun! Oooh, I can't believe how quickly that came round!! I love the picture of you, its so authentic! You look more Chinese than I do LOL.
Looking forward to your blogs and stay away from those dogs!!
Its too short!! I enjoyed this latest blog, but its too short!! No need to keep them brief at all! Oh well, roll on China blog...
The pictures look amazing - you need a new word for breath-taking!! Hmm I might even consider this for my next trip...

I see you carped your III diems a lot, well done. I like the Pantheon too, it's such an amazing structure considering it's 2000 years old or so.
But you didn't bring back any chocolate, bad Mary, tut tut tut :)
The Army So you didn't upload your pictures of the lovely army - but would still love to see them.... and pictures of your mountain traipsing adventures would be great too!!! Which mountain did you go to?
Prison Rooms Where are the photos of your converted cells?! Would love to see one. The rest of the photos are beautiful! I'd love to go there one day. Very scenic and calm :)
Oh you do make me laugh - loved the comment about the Walt Disney statue - I will never see him in the same light again.
So when are you coming to the Great White North?
snake Please don't bring home snake as souvenirs, sounds gross. But glad you're having a good time. Shame about the toilets, we've got 3 beautifully bleached bogs ha! ha!
Got the car - just fab and very red.
