The chinese internet service has frustrated my attempts to post updates; there was a big earthquake off Taiwan about a month ago which broke the underwater cables connecting Asia to many parts of the world, including America, which is where this site is hosted. So, no updates for me.

I’m in Xining at the moment, and since my last post we’ve pretty much done everything we came here to do. I guess I’ll fill you all in once I’m back, post some photos and so on. Back on Monday afternoon, all going well!
