Did'nt realise you were going right out there- even from here (work 21:53, no windows) I feel like I've tasted a miniscule piece of what and where you are- some how it just comes across. Keep it up, I'm jealous and will definitely keep watching. Stan Chris, what a trip. this is the first thing I’ve seen as not on line yet.

Stan: You're not kidding... it's been a hell of a trip. Right now I'm in Beijing, and have just bought train tickets to the ferry port from which we leave for Korea... hopefully. When we were in Xian, we were told that we could not enter Korea via the ferry port, because of stricter security for the World Cup, so we've been frantically ringing the British Embassies here and in Seoul to see if the rumours are true. The FCO website has no mention of such restrictions, so we're going to go for it anyway and see what happens. Meanwhile, we'll visit the Korean Embassy here in Beijing later today, and present ourselves to whoever'll listen to us, and see if they can give us some reassurance or even special dispensation of sorts. Fingers crossed... Tim: …as she goes?
