For them as are interested, I've started uploading photos to flickr. I've only imported a third of our photos into iPhoto so far and am working through one by one selecting only the non-awful photos. You wouldn't be amazed how many photos taken from a car are blurry.

It's a small world.

I still find myself gritting my teeth out of fear and intimidation at the size and scale of traveling around the world. From northern latitudes of Moscow and London to Shanghai and down to Honolulu. Home to Seattle, Olympia. It scares the hell out of me that I've ridden the great globe in the sky around the firey mass of the sun. It's enough to ( Read more... )

Well, there you are, then. Full circle. My laptop asleep on our bed with conversations still open from right before we left. It's been a crazy ride. Lots of picture and retrospective posts to make! :)

Well, we're finally awaiting a flight to Seattle, just in time to tell you all that you should come to neuro42's welcome-back party for us in Seattle! Also, American money looks weird after three months of crazy money.

We wake up long enough to pilfer from the executive continental breakfast so there's something in our stomachs when we go back to sleep until it's time to pay for another night. Then back to sleep. Wake up long enough to respond to emails, and go back to sleep. Why do I get the distinct impression that we're adjusting from a non-terran sleep

In spite of some entertainment at our hotel in Pudong, and the tragic loss of corivax's new Indiana Jones hat (made in Mongolia) which was devilishly handsome on him, we have arrived at Seoul Incheon. There's this big customs-free duty-free tax-free zone, so there's no ATMs. So to get an ATM I had to go through immigration. The immigration worker I ( Read more... )

Well, we've booked tickets for three hours from now for a 28 hour train to Shanghai. I am worried we may've ended up booking with hard sleepers, which means a compartment with 4 other people. Given how rare tourists seem to be in this part of China, I suspect we will be very much the center of attention, which might gt hold after a day and change ( Read more... )

People's Glorious Hotel-Supplied Matches have a little too much People's Glorious Destroy The Foreigners in. Touching a match to the striking surface and aplying a light pressure causes them to explode in a way more useful for landing oneself in the emergency room, accidental arson, and other things to implicate oneself as a would-be saboteur than ( Read more... )

People's glorious Hello! We are in Hohhot. Traveing here by train was beautiful and amazing (especially getting to watch the Gobi from a safe distance!) I couldn't be happier that a doctor told Corvi to stay in UB for 5 days and to not fly for 10! It's well past time to be home, but the road back is incredible ( Read more... )
