Monday - received a 3 month Visa
Tuesday - we set off on the train to Lo Wu, the town just before the border. Then we crossed over. Mr. T. Law checked me out of Hong Kong and another serious looking guy checked me into China. Never before have I felt so much like I was going in. And now here I am.
Spent the first night in Shenzhen, in a youth hostel in the middle of numerous theme lands... and we spent the evening browsing thru Wal-Mart!! Yes, very weird, but bought some cheap food for the next phase... a 25 hour train journey to Kunming. STUNNING scenery the entire route.
Sitting in the French Cafe having a Tsing Tao beer on the free internet so don't want to be too greedy. Just want to say all is well... oh and the food, this is looking like it will be a very tasty and exciting experience.
So much to see and do, so little time.
'til next time... and please send me news from the outside as I think the likelihood of getting it here is slim!

I've really been enjoying your trip. Where are the pics? What an experience you are having - cant wait to read your book that you should write when you settle down. Aunt J
