In Beijing

I am now in Beijing which is the last stop on our tour. I can't seem to get to read my own blog website at the moment as it seems to be blocked everywhere I go. So I can't read any comments. Somehow it still lets me write a new blog entry though.
I haven't got much time so I'll just say for now that I'm having a great time and am currently in a great mood cos last night I bought a cool watch with a picture of Chairman Mao on it and he's waving his arm to the people as the second hands moves. It's so tacky it's cool!
The tour group is a lot of fun and we've so far seen the Forbidden City (packed with tourists), the Three Gorges Dam, Shanghai, spent two nights on trains and one on a boat plus lots of other stuff. We've been constantly stared at by the Chinese who obviously still find the sight of Westerners quite interesting (some stare blatantly, others walk past us and chuckle to themselves). A few of us have been asked to be in their photos which is kind of weird.
Gotta go. This is costing me too much. Most things are cheap here in China but use of the internet at this hotel is not one of them. Will write more when I get back from holiday in about a weeks time which I'm very much looking forward to.

Tsingtao, Tsingtao!!!

Damien, they aren't laughing cause your a westerner, you've probably got your fly undone. :-)

Come back quickly too, since you left the Pies are winning, and we need someone to put a stop to it, and let normality be restored.

Ohhh, isn't that cute. Dave wants Damien to come home as quick as he can. There's nothing quite like young love.

Adam, I'm flattered, really I am, but Dave has always been my man. Can't wait to see you either smiles *hugs*.

Damien, went to text you the other night, but accidently sent it to my wife Annette. Basically i wrote,
"Hey beautiful, I’m just talking to my kids, the back door’s open."

Back Door is now closed.

I wonder if Damo will get that? How up with MX are the Chinese?

I can't believe it's that easy to impersonate someone on this blog. That comment above is not mine. I would have ended it with "Can't wait to see you either smiles *hugs* *SLY PUNCH TO THE KIDNEYS*"
I blame The Adamanator.
