Wow....In 4 weeks today we'll be off to China. A dream come true. I have always wanted to go to China and I'm sure it'll be all I ever dreamed it would be. Sam and Selina are busy booking internal flights for us; Meryl Siggs is putting us up in Shanghai .....thanks Meryl...and with some work frustrations for Kevin, I know he'll be all to pleased to have the break. looking forward to the colder weather there too, and hoping for a white Christmas in Chengdu (or as close to Chengdu as we can find snow!). Mostly we are spending time in Chengdu which is the main city in Sichuan Province (where all the hot and spicy food comes from....YAY); have a flight to Shanghai and also to KwanMin (spelling???) which is a very ancient city with many Minority People. We'll be staying with Selina's parents in Chengdu (who speak no English) but I believe her Mum is a great cook!!!! I can't wait for Chinese hotpot(maybe a mild version of), and her version of Kim Chee.
