Dear All,
I'm having to use an anonymous techno minded middle-man, a sort of Simon Pegg to Tom Cruise in Mission Impossible 3 and 4, in order to send this message out to you as, unfortunately, Blogger, and internet blogs in general, are currently banned in China. We did not expect that! So, I'm afraid to report that there will be no blogs for a month while we are here. I will continue to write them and, if you email me to request such a service, I will send them to you directly as we go along (assuming that the filters here will allow un-censored emails?). Normal service shall resume on 29 September when we will arrive in Vietnam.
For now, rest assured that we are alive and well, having spent two days at sea with terrible food, but very cheap beer (every cloud, and all that). Shanghai looks and feels very different to Japan already, and we are overjoyed to see that we can afford to eat and drink out again (beers for less than £2 and a decent meal for less than a fiver). Japan was incredible, despite the cost of everything, and I have already prepared a blog post ready to email to those who would like to receive it.
All the best to you all,
Simon & Rosie
