Although lots has been happening in the last few weeks, I've been too lazy to write. Oops! Anyway, today has been interesting.

I tried to get to the bottom of who exactly was buried there but it's still a bit of a mystery. I. The first two pupils car...

Kirsten - VSO China. If you want to send a private message. Email me on kirstengould@yahoo.com. Saturday, 4 September 2010. Great China Adventure (part 2). Still in Hong Kong then (happy Mr Mogg? We spent a very pleasant day on Lantau island where there's a cable car ride up to a giant bronze Buddha on top of a hill.

Thought I'd share with you a couple of China Daily articles I enjoyed this week. A rat equals three chickens in terms of nutrition. Mr Tao, who has eaten rat meat for decades said, "Rat meat dishes can help cure baldness and prevent hair from turning grey.".
