china

we went to beijing and had a great time. it was good for abish because he is half chinese and had never been to china before and good for me cos i got to hang out with my eldest sister debbie for a few days, unfortunately her hubbie tevis was called away on business in london just DAYS before we came :( .... talk about timing!!

we went to the forbidden city, great wall of china and other stuff along with a bike ride around the back streets - LOTS of fun. we even got to catch our own fish and then have it cooked up for us, well i tried to catch one but it wasnt happening so the elder sis took over and that did the trick - actually, what you dont see in the pictures is the guy who helped her catch it! but we'll let her think shes the hero for now.

of course we were both hanging out for yum char, debbie took us to a great place the food was sooo good!

one of debbies friends from her university joined us for a day, yukiko, she's japanese :D really sweet girl, strange how we feel at home around japanese people now. all in all it was a fantastic trip that neither of us will ever forget.
