so folks....just a short note to say hello! today I'm in Labrang, home of the 2nd biggest monestery in the world, we've just finished a 5 hour drive after a night on the train. the countryside is truly spectacular.....the fields all seem carved out of the mountain. have seen a few yaks and goat and unfortunately entered a number of ghastly toilets....apparently they only get worse from here on out! ;-) joy
we're now at altitude so have to drink a bunch of water....3 litres at least a day in order to help prevent altitude sickness.
last couple of days were spent in Xi'an, an old historic city in central china and home to the terracotta warriors....very cool to see...also the city has a full city wall that you can bike around and catch the views...very cool. you should see some of the places we've eaten at.....can't quite believe it! no yet sick so that's a bonus....hopefully it stays that way. other point to add is that xi'an had the worst pollution...just a thick heavy haze in the air constantly....that's why it's really great to now be in the countryside with clear skies.
well must run....keep in touch with what's going on in the real world

Hi Ya
Are you going to attach any photos.
I really envy you. What a fantastic trip.
I got a new job on friday. Ingram Micro, very exciting. Start on my birthday would you believe.
They know of my trip, plus, away in January when I go to Christchurch for about 10 days, which has all been accepted.
Raining and cold in NZ today.
Lot of snow in the South Island, and a lot of people without power.
Hey Kim, the All Blacks are going good. They beat France 61 to 10 last night. Ali Williams, ended up this a broken jaw.
Jed says hello, we went out in the rain for a walk today.We will have a Sunday Lamb roast, with all the vegies,gravy etc. Is your mouth watering yet.
Keep safe, always.
Love you.
