All Change!

Well, it's 4:20 am and we're (well I'm) up and about getting ready for Shanghai!  Apologies for the distinct lack of blogs since the news that we were off to Shanghai, but things got a little hectic before we left!  A few quick updates:  we had an amazing holiday in India where Joe learned to paraglide and met some brilliant people; we had a great last few weeeks in Oman saying goodbye to all of our friends and generally having a great time seeing places for the last time including the partaking in the Radisson all you can eat/drink buffet!

So... After a few weeks of Chinese lessons (thank you immensely to my very patient teacher), I have a smattering of Mandarin under my belt and a basic understanding of Shanghai customs and culture.  I am sure that we are heading off for an amazing adventure in an incredible country.  More new experiences and people await at the end of a 13-hour flight.  

Shanghai here we come!

p.s. Thanks to all of those avid followers who could pinpoint the exact date of the last Oman blog.  Sorry, I will endeavour to be a little more conscientious!
