I think with my parents here I have neglected to post on the blog, so i'm sorry to other people who read it. It's been strange having my parents in the same city, It's like having some sort of tie back to reality I suppose but it's quite nice none the less even if they can't use chopsticks. I do however feel as though I am more noticed when walking around with them. We look very touristy as a group - sort of like a Brits on tour kinda thing - but touristy isn't bad. I mean I haven't done all the touristy things in Oxford or London even though I live next to them so It's a good excuse to get out of my office and do some stuff (which is paid for my my family of course...)

Tonight we go to Beijing. It cost some what of a small fortune to get there even on the train. 700ish yuan per person ONE WAY! Ahhh. We are soft sleeper though. Yes it's the life of luxury for us!
