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!
XX

I am now in China!!
The ferry journey was pretty cool but the boat was very small I thought it would be better but eh. I saw flying fish! Was realy cool cos I had never seen them before, so I spent a good hour looking out for them and ended up seeing quite a lot! Some of them even even blue and green! I made a couple of friends on board and came to the hostel with a japanese boy who is also doing a three month trip by himself and can speak pretty good english. So it was ncie to have someone with me to find the hostel because it ended up to be quite a task! They had changed from captin hostel to yha, and not changed on the internet and this confused me for a long time!
But the ferry trip was quite cool, I could actually see stars! Really nice cos there were a lot of them in the middle of nothing. Alll you could see was sea all around you and sometimes a random boat somewhere on the horizon!
So Shanghai is a very industrail city, I dont htink there is much here. I am not sure what to do with myself tomorrow, maybe try to find the train station. I have decided to find this holy mountain and climb up it. So that shuld be pretty cool, although there will be a lot of people also trying to climb up because I think it is in fact the holiest mountain in China. But it is meant to be very beautiful and there are guest houses on it so I will stay there and wake up early to have the mountain to myself before the others arrive!
Then I shall go and see the Confucious temple which is supposed to be amazing and not so many tourists, well not from outside of China anyway. I dont have a guide book for China so I hope this will all work out! Good luck to me!

Ok I cheered up today so now I shall blog somewhat about previous days.
So on Thursday I went to beppu. Went up this crazy mountain with this ropeway. Was really cool. Bloody high up though. Was pretty much on a level with surrounding clouds whcih was really cool. Could see it raining in the town below but it was sunny on the mountain cos the clouds would have to rise for it to rain on the mountain so they went around it. Very cool..
And there were mountains all around as well and most of them were on a level with the one I was on.
And all over this mountain there were loud speakers playing weird music, like I cant even remember right now, just strange assortment of music... Was pretty jokes really. At one poin in the cable car going up they were playing an instrumental of whinny the pooh, Haahhaha! Stupid!
Then I went for a walk about the town and bought the oilest peice of chicken EVER! Sat on a beach and put my feet in the water and started to eat my chicken, like ah this is nice.... Peaceful... Oh look at that eagle soaring above me, how nice.... How peaceful!

Seconds later there is this massive woosh of air past me and my chicken is flying into the sea. The damned eagle tried to steal it from me!! Madness! I felt its talons on my hand, but no scrape or anything. Spent the next 10 minutes shouting at it from the beach, to the amusment of some dutch guys who were watching (didnt think to warn me of an attacking eagle though!!)
Was very strange experience indeed.... The eagle then circled me for ages looking for its lost bit of chicken, but ha! The fish got it not him! Good!

So that was my thursday, then went to meet the Russian at about 9. He had lectures in the day.
Wandered around for a while got some sake, and he drew me some maps of where to stay once I got here.

Today I went up this random tower, looked over Osaka, its fucking huge! Was like looknig over london a little bit. Only with mountains in th background. Why dont we have mountains, it makes the cityscape so much nicer to have mountains rising up over skyscrapers!

Then I just kind of wandered about the town, its not a very pretty place. And there is this random themepark type thing that for some reason is closed. But you can still walk through it. Kinda errie to be honest. This abonded themepark in the middle of city with noone in it apart from a couple of drunks and two random teenagers...
All bright colours and crap as well, rollercoasters and everything. WEIRD!
The Japanese are mad!

Georgia is a fool!

Not even going to go into it, but I am a fool. Feel like a twat and I dont want to be. I am in Japan for christs sake! I got away from all the shit at home to come here and be a fool! Bah least it was fun!
Anyway I am in Osaka now i have three days to kill before I have to get on the frry to china and I just dont know what to do with myself at all! I might end up drinking in my room this evening I think... Sad I know, it really fucking is.
I got here too late to distract myself with tourist things and I havent slpet properly for three days now. So I think I should just die tonight....
Waiting for my ipod to charge so I can have some music....
Hmmmm, I dont know what to say.
I shall be happy again tomorrow, but for today well its over already pretty much.
Go get some food soon... I dont think I had any lunch. Wasnt hungry, not hungry now actually but I thik food is needed. And a bar, or a shop...
Dobedo, why do we put ourselves in positions where we know its gonna be sad at the end? Its bloody stupid! Should just stop it!
Ah well, happy times tomorrow!
Promise!

So quick update. Right now am staying with the russian in his uni halls. Fun times! His roommate seems pretty safe though as well though. Aparently he is wakingup at 3 to watch the football on tv. Heheheh Chelsea vs someone or other. So at leastr i will know the scores of english football come the morning!
Ok quick update over cos I dont wannt soend too long online, i feel mean!

So...
I am back on my own again....
Me and the Russian guy (his name is something random that I have no idea how to type, but aparently people call him Johnny. So we shall stick with that.) went to that mountain, that turned out to be a volcano.
It was a long journey there, like 5 different trains and a ferry and two buses. Long! But amusing.
Volcano was pretty impressive with mad amounts of sulpher and stuff pouring out of the crater. But it was raning and it took ages to get there so only spent about an hour there and then had the task of finding somewhere to stay. Its a holiday in Japan so most places are booked up. Manged to find a room in some weird block, straw mats and futons and the like. Then wandered around town with a bottle of whiskey, ended up walking really far cos it took ages to get back.
Saw this thai place called "Cabbages and Condoms" I actually nearly died laughing. In fact we both nearly died laughing, why? Why would you call anything that?
Anyway today we had to part ways, it is actually pretty sad. He is a proper nice guy and well..
But he said he might come visit. Be really good if he actually did, and also he can look after me when I actually go to Russia!
Now I am just waiting to check in so I can have a shower, cos I fecking smell, it was cold and raining when I got on the train and here in Hiroshima, its sunny and warm. So wearing my jumper just didnt quite work...
Get the ferry to china tomorrow....
Hope there are people on board so I dont have to think about sad things...
I need to find some food....

OK
Well! Im not sure where the last post ended, and I dont quite have the time to check so I shall start from arriving in Nagasaki.
I got here, and I had to waste a few hours. So I tired to find a park.
Didnt work, at all. So instead I went to the A bombing museum and peace park and all of that. Kept seeing this one guy like 3 times, so in the end we ended up talking and got some noodles. This guy is a starnge Russian, hes really quiet, like when he does talk hes quiet as well. Its funny, and means I can take the piss.
Then we ended up in some RANDOM japanese club, which was like being in an english club like 2/3 years ago. Was jokes... Playing a weird mix of hiphop and randomness.
Anyway he ended up staying at my hotel (different rooms for any of you who are sure to be thinknig what I think you are). Then today we walked around the whole city, was really nice to actually have someone to talk to and walk with actually. Saw pretty much everythung there was to see by 3. Sat in a park for a bit, then got some sushi.
Now i have agreed to abandon my plans fopr tomorrow, going straight to hiroshima and instead I am getting a train with him at half 6!!! in the morning then a ferry then a train and climbing a mountain and back down again for no aparent reason, other to see the view from the top.
Bit out of the way really, but yes, thats the plan!
I dont know how far im actually going to get up this mountain... But lets hope I make it to the top...
We shall see and i shall let you know once I get to hiroshima, hopefully only one day later than planned... I have to get the ferry to china the next day so.....
