London Update

So I have finally gotten around to charging the cameras and putting the photos onto the computer. We really haven't been up to much, just attempting to get sorted and more settled. In saying that we have seen a few pubs which is always good. I (Kelly) have found a job and start on Tuesday. Paul has been working for the last couple of weeks. We were supposed to have moved into our new flat on Thursday however that has not worked out so well. Hopefully we will be able to move in on Monday!
Some church. There are churches everywhere over here and they are all massive, the buildings are amazing.

At the pub in Hammersmith

Proof that it has snowed! This is the back garden of Edwards house. And I was expecting it to be getting warmer!
Paul at the Candam markets.
Me and Kate at the pub...same night as the photo in the pub above.This is my new work. OooOOoooo fancy building!

So Far in London

So far we have just been spending the last week attempting to get things sorted. We have found a house which we will share with Tim and Kelly. It is a cute 2 bedroom flat. Located in Shepards Bush above some shops and 2 min walk to the tube station, very handy to everything.

We went to the Oxford boat race over the weekend along with 1/2 of London. It would have been good but it was cold and rainy (which is why they are wearing rubbish sacks).

In Paddington.

China

Photos from our trip in China....

Before the acrobatic show. We also went to kung foo show which was amazing.

We went out with John and May for a dumpling dinner.

On the overnight train to Xi'an

Eating haw covered in toffee, some random soft fruit that was pretty good. We got to eat lots of interesting food including a vege called rape. Paul however did not want to try the cat, snake or crickets and scorpions on a stick!

Walking through the summer palace Chineese people were playing musical instruments, playing games and dancing.

Most of the public toilets had star ratings. I have to say that getting used to squatting took a while to get used too.

In the Hutons, the old part of Bejing.

Being pulled by a man riding a bike. No one in China wore helmets which is a worry considering the traffic. However the rickshaw tour was through the Hutons where the roads are to narrow for cars.

Paul smelling the cherry blossoms

The Great Wall

Having a break from climbing the great wall of china.
