Well, I'm off to China!
Hi all,
I'm off to China (with work!) and am taking 9 female travel agents with me! (I have permission!)
Off to Beijing, Chengde and Xian!
See you in a couple of weeks!

Well, I'm back from China now...
A good time was had by me, but it was perishingly cold at times (snow in Xian and the terractotta warriors) and Beijing was smog filled and congested.
The hotels we styed in were generally excellent and the hospitality is second to none. In fact, there are only so many Chinese banquets you can eat in 10 days - I was dreaming of jacket potatoes with cheese! Alcohol is cheap - a beer can be had for about 10 yuan (65p!)
Saw the Great Wall, Terracotta Warriors, Tiannemen Square, the Forbidden City, the Temple of Heaven and many other temples and historical sights!
And I didn't bring back any Asiatic diseases!
