I hope you're back safe in clean(er), spitting-free (for the most part England, and that the return flight was better than the trip out here. I'm sorry to hear that the hotel was rubbish - after Dad's great selection on the Shanghai hostel, we really ought to have trusted his instinct with the Crowne Kingdom Super Plaza Palace, or whatever it was called.
Thanks for a great two weeks. I hope that - street food aside ;) - you had a good time and saw everything in China you wanted to see. I think you probably saw a bit more than what you wanted to see, and I'm not talking about all those babies with their bums out!
I'm back into the swing of teaching; I had six hours today, which was markedly less exhausting than being unable to sleep because of Dad's snoring. We're doing some serious weighing up of the pros and cons of staying another year or going back to Europe... the School needs a decision by the end of the week.
It was lovely to see you all, I can't wait for the summer!
