OK
SO
I was in China, and WHAM, blog gets blocked. Cant say it was much of a surprise to be honest. I mean it is China....
BUT this means that I have missed out on so much stuff...
Like I climbed Taishan, the holiest mountain in China, Steps all the way up. Nearly died becuase I started climbing at midday.... But I got resued by this group of chinese people who gave me food and bought me fruit and prvided smokes. And when we all made it to the top ( after a 6 hour climb of the steepest steps ever) they bought me dinner. Very cool.
I saw pandas in the zoo and played with one through the glass! So cute...
I did all the tourist shi in beijing you know temple of heaven, fobidden city etc. Pretty cool but waaaaay too many tourists.
ANd it was madly hot as well, but I did go back to the forbidden city after dark, you couldnt go in but it was ncie to see the gates and stuff without the millions of people milling about.
A french couple who were on my ferry from japan to china turned up in my hostel is beijing, whih was pretty cool and very fucking random. They are really lovely people and they live in brussels! Last stop before home, and they said I have to come see them when I get there, free sleeping!!
WOoo
But there is just soo much I have missed out
Stupid china...
But yes I got the train from bejing to Ulaanbaator (UB) really cool.
I met a couple of people in the last hostel i was staying at and there were 4 of us on the same train... Pretty cool. So ended up getting very drunk in the dining car till about 4 in the morning....
Obviously interuppted halfway through by corssing the border and customs.
AND the hole changing the wheels of the train thing ( which I stayed on the train to watch) was pretty cool really....
Then I got to UB.
Stayed in ub hostel for a couple of nights with two aussie girls from the train, was a crappy hostel.. then this girl from london shows up and we go to look at the hostel round the corner the golden gobi.... its so good here I walked back to ubhostel packed my bags and was back in an hour.
This is where I have been for about a week now.
Been meeting some interesting people, they come and go so fast....
There was a aussie boy, who tried to come onto me for a long time... but he was pretty amusing, bit sad as well so I stayed with him for most of the night (nothing in the slightest happened)
then there was this DISGUSTING american guy, who had this kid (who I actually wanted to take away from him) he was just raw and dirty and very american...
But this will be a long post if I talk about everyone that I met, so I will pretty much stop now....
SO tomorrow I go into the desert, I am a very brightly coloured treker indeed, with my pink hair brand new bright blue boots and green scarf! I wont get lost at least!
Going with an english couple who seem very nice, the guy is actually on the computer next to me... and this Japanese guy, who actually comes from one of my favourite places in Japan. He got very exited when I showed him the scrapbook pages of his hometown.
But yes I cant wait, even though tomorrow we do leave at 8 in the morning.... pretty early. SO maybe i shall go to sleep early....
Had two days in a row where I was chucked out the common room at 3 in the morning.... not good... too much vodka around here....
But its been fun here, Ive actually had a social life! MAdness, one of the guys from the hostel and the train is working here for 3 months so I have been going out for dinner with him and his flatmade kelly, who is lovely! But she left for the gobi yesterday and so I wont see her till I get back in two weeks time, maybe I shall try to find her in the desert! HAHAHAHA
Right you people should be happy with this post, it basically says what i have been doing for the last month....
Shall update when I get back from the desert! OOOooooo
PEACE!
