Beds and Shopping

Before we travelled to China I was told that the beds would be "firm" that does not do ours justice, carved from solid granite would be more accurate, my grain store floor has more give in it than our mattress. I envy our daughter in her cot she has a lovely foam mattress and happily sleeps 8 hours straight. Mind you the traditional bed here was a raised brick platform so any mattress at all is an improvement.

Shopping, herself is in paradise, thousands of shops and negotiable prices, she has already bought another suitcase, I fear a shipping container will be more like it. I had a bit of a moment when she bought something for 2000 renminbi until I realised it was only just over £110 and would cost £800 in the UK.

The great firewall of China does not like me trying to post pictures so they will have to wait until we return to the UK. I hope this is some interest and makes a brief escape from the nightmares of F&M which I will have face on my return lamb prices do not look good.

We have been very lucky here the Chinese govt has ordered around 2 million people to prepare to cope with the storm, but all we have had is a cooling breeze, taking the temperature down to 31c from 36c.
