Nice entry
This is a powerful and moving blog entry Rob. Your writing has come a long way since your time in India. Loved the Thailand entry too. Pete

The worst scam attempt ever
Something I was meant to record in here was the most unsubtle and laughably bad scam attempt I'd ever seen at Beijing station on arrival. Naturally, we had to get hold of some RMB on arrival. We asked an English speaking man "Where can we find an ATM?" He retorted "In that room. It's very crowded and busy. Do you want me to hold your bags whilst you're gone?" Surprisingly enough, we didn't take him up on the offer. If anybody has ever fallen for that one, they don't deserve any sympathy.

Hmm, snake wine....
I think I'll give the snake wine a miss when we visit Rob! What a shame that you've actually got to do some study.... I warned you that the Chinese can be quite studious! Good luck with it and I hope Asia's Las Vegas is as good as the American version. Please don't lose any of your money though.

Oh dear.........
Well, I'm so glad you're feeling better. I hope you are all soon strong enough to see round Shimla before your long train ride back. We're away from Saturday to Thursday, so if you need to phone you'll have to use our mobiles. Hope you've still got some immodium..

Hi Rob! Sounds like you're having fun on your travels and doing lots of cool stuff. Can't wait to see the photos if you get time to post some, or of course loads of them when you get home! I have updated my blog in the meantime so you can see how the bump is progressing - it's getting quite big now, although it doesn't really look like it in the pictures! Anyway hope you have loads of fun in Goa and enjoy your clean clothes. xxx
