[Tiffany, you can stop worrying, the landslide was nowhere near any place we ventured!]

We stepped back into the real world this afternoon, after our 3-day luxury cruise down the Yangzi. We're back in Beijing, and tomorrow we're going to do our best to get in as much as we can before spending the night at the airport (this is part of Emily's backpacker training, you see).

We'll be back in Tokyo on Sunday, and then I'll be uploading my 10,000 pictures so I can start posting about our trip!

Highlights to include: Emily almost falling off the Great Wall, early morning surprise fish, The City With Too Many Bus Stations, our awesome mini-bus and bus drivers (who had a sense of humour about the irritating French lady and who didn't believe in traffic cones, respectively), Chinese airlines want to feed you, eating the world's spiciest hotpot in 46 degree weather, not-completely-naked oarsmen, and a damn big dam.

See you soon!

That's the thing about going on vacation: lots to do before and after it.

My family and I have had hotpot a few times in the past.

I wish I could go to China. I've never been there, and I would like to take a look at their acupuncture schools, clinics, and treatments.

I'm glad you didn't face the landslide. It sounds like you had a good time.

Airports now have many restrictions. I remember having to get rid of my water bottle at the inspection area for my flight from Taiwan back to America.
