thank goodness these guys were able to pick us up from the airport. I do not know what we would have done without them. I mean, we would have figured out lodging 
and a train ticket, but it would have been muy difficult. Good gravy. The train ticket was such a hassle especially with the people of the country we are in being stereotypically very very very pushy, even physically. Of course, it is normal for their culture, but drastically different to the one I am used to.

If it wasn't the rocky beach it was the constant amusement park that made me ready to leave. Thank goodness, because I can't think of anything else that would cause me to actually welcome a 21 hour train ride to northern China.
ps- If you ever have the need for complete over-the-top, thorough , quality hospitality shown to you, visit someone from Nepal. These Nepalese guys, Rakesh (sunglasses) and Santosh paid for everything that they could, cooked us a traditional Nepalese meal in their apartment, and did more for us than I though humanly possible. Their motto was "This time we get for you, next time, you get." Hopefully I will get the chance to reciprocate to these life saving Hindu medical students. Someday.
did I mention that we had never met them before, and they were just friends of friends of Emma's?

Like Blackpool, eh? Sounds awful. Not unlike the train ride. Seems like you're enjoying yourself so far though. Not sure if you can read this yet, but undoubtably you'll have the chance at some point.
Keep writing, I'll keep reading.
sweet action.
