Apologies for the long silence. I’m actually on a remote Indonesian island (no, not Bali) having a much needed (and much deserved) week long escape from Shanghai’s cold, polluted winter and understandably, updating the blog hasn’t been a priority.
However, I’m heading back to the Middle Kingdom tomorrow and have a lot of updates, including tales of near death underwater adventures and probably the most amazing hotel experience I’ve ever had.
So stay tuned for a mega update in a day or so. Oh and some amazing photos too!

Pollution hasn’t actually been that bad.
Well knowing my luck it’ll start getting worse from tomorrow!
WoAi – Hope you are all rested and ready to blog.
Just wanted to remind you it is British Mother’s Day on March 10th. I can’t forget, it is also my Mum’s birthday….
WoAi,
I need your posts to survive!
Please go back to your frequent posts!
I am your loyal follower since 2007…
@Kim C – Yes, I was planning to announce Mothers Day. You beat me to it!
@JR – Thanks for the comment. As I’ve said before, more readers comments will result in more posts. It’s very demotivating to write a post and then not have any response. Having said that, I have quite a lot lined up, so stay tuned!
Mother’s Day – March 10th … Mother’s Day March 10th … Mother’s Day March 10th … Mother’s Day March 10th … Mother’s Day March 10th … Mother’s Day March 10th … Mother’s Day March 10th … must remember …
@Byron – So it’s 10th March then is it?
