Pete fell down a manhole - but he's OK!

So we were strolling around a park, minding our own business, when Pete gave a yelp! and half his body disappeared down a manhole, lucky for him he was able to pull himself out with only minor grazes to his ankle and slightly bruised pride.

Been in Beijing now for 16 days and we leave tomorow on a hard seat night train to Xian to see some pottery soldiers. i am told they are worth the journey.

Been to most sights now and we have eaten so many dumplings we are in danger of becoming dumplings.

People here are helpful but i am managing to put into use my G.C.S.E in bad drawings, today I drew a boat and a large parcel at the post office. Tony Hart would be proud of me.
