Updates

BEIJING: So you may be wondering what happened to this blog. Well we're finally in Beijing, actually we've been here since late on the 29th. Hopefully this afternoon I'll be able to spend some serious time recapping everything from Kiev onwards. That's a lot of blogging but there are numerous trials and tribulations that need to be documented. Happy Christmas and Merry New Year to everybody, if a little belatedly. In the course of telling my story I'm sure my lack of communication will be explained.
