China says 'no' to missyshera's blog!
Shoot. Turns out I can't access this blog directly. When I try to log in, i am politely told that the site is not permitted. Nor is the BBC. But we can get the CBC. And the Sun! Go figure.
So apologies in advance, as I won't be able to review this blog, and the entries might have the odd typo, but at least I can still keep in touch!
These are two rare little girls, and cute as buttons, in Suifenhe, on our very first afternoon in China! We had to disembark the train for 6 hours in order to the train to have it's wheels changed.
Russian trains have a wider gauge than any other trains - their clever way to avoid being invaded via rail! This six hour wait was after we had to wait 4 hours just to get through Russian customs. They left us in a hall kicking our heels and then suddenly - freak out! - we had to rush through. Good thing we had met the charming Sue and her grandson Leon, all the way from Great Yarmouth, to keep us company!
