2 august
just been out for a dusk time walk
in thongs

i would not be brave enough to do that in India !

but the good news is that i have found out where the oldies hang out
just in their own neighbourhoods - so i have relaxed about that
they are not all in the salt mines

there is some big mongolian festival hatching
and the town is in clean up and flag hanging mode
and
the hotel is fully booked - just in time for pete's arrival
i hope he does not snore

i am booked into beijing
and reading up on the quick tourist options
a day at the great wall at least

getting the smell of home
not to mention the
ozone from the electical storms
