[Tiffany, you can stop worrying, the landslide was nowhere near any place we ventured!]
We stepped back into the real world this afternoon, after our 3-day luxury cruise down the Yangzi. We're back in Beijing, and tomorrow we're going to do our best to get in as much as we can before spending the night at the airport (this is part of Emily's backpacker training, you see).
We'll be back in Tokyo on Sunday, and then I'll be uploading my 10,000 pictures so I can start posting about our trip!
Highlights to include: Emily almost falling off the Great Wall, early morning surprise fish, The City With Too Many Bus Stations, our awesome mini-bus and bus drivers (who had a sense of humour about the irritating French lady and who didn't believe in traffic cones, respectively), Chinese airlines want to feed you, eating the world's spiciest hotpot in 46 degree weather, not-completely-naked oarsmen, and a damn big dam.
See you soon!
