After a long while I have eventually had a few moments to upload a selection of photos from the China expedition in the summer. Sorry they are not in exact order as they were taken with different cameras. I will eventually get them sorted into groups.

Bet you wont have to point to the chicken and rabbit in the cage before you eat it.
They're fantastic photos Matthew, i love seeing how well traveled folks are on this site. It looks like a complete culture shock and did you recruit any Chinese comrades to Ni-Wild?
These trips have given you some fantastic experiences. Thanks for sharing the photos for a wee bit of an insight into the trip.
Class photo's must have been an awesome trip with some amazing sites.. Thanks for pics 8)

Ha ha very funny, as you mention it we thought it was funny to ask our interpreter, "where are your nuclear weapons" the very next day she had two chaperone's from the young communist party with her at all times lol.

I have been spoilt with these, the problem is where to go next. I fancy so many places Peru, Morocco, the "Stan" countries and do the silk route, Everest base camp and perhaps Australia.
