Back In Beijing

Arrived back in Beijing this morning after 10 days' traveling in Yunnan Province in South China. It was pretty cool and got to see a lot of cool stuff.

I am flying to Dalian tomorrow. Holiday ends and reality kicks in!! Well, hopefully everything will be fine. I have got more used to China at this stage and I think my listening skills in Chinese have definitely improved. I need to learn more vocab though for speaking.

When I get to Dalian, i will get broadband (don't know how long that will take) but I will hopefully have access to University computers so I can post stuff about my travels in Yunnan and stick up a few pictures. I might set up a flickr site (or something similar: any suggestions for similar sites, since I don't really like flickr?) and put lots of pics up there.

Will probably hook up with the Sun Beijing boys today to pass on all the trade sectrets I learned in Ireland :-) ! Watch out for the RIFs, PIT Ireland!!

That's all for now. Don't want to hog Jenny's dial-up connection!

Keep the blog entries coming, nice reading on a Monday morning here in Sun Dublin.

Good to hear you are enjoying and learning in China. Young Cillian says hi, he got christened last week so he's a fully qualified roman catalitic now!

We gave your job away to someone else so there is no coming back now, its Sun Beijing or bust for you bud!
