We stayed in a hotel called The Red Tree opposite the railway station on Sunday. I made a bad decision for us saying that to avoid food poisoning (the effects of) on our return to London we had better eat McDonald. Esther and Haifen were up all night but I was the cleaner having not eaten a fish burger myself.

From that hotel we were able to access all the sites we wanted to(but at the risk of being told I should have done my research beforehand hahaha!) save this forum. Anybody else hasn't been able to access this forum from Beijing- or was it just my browser?

Esther lost too much weight in China because the Chinese wouldn't leave her alone so she was a bit over-taxed. Because they put several layers of thick clothes on babies I hadn't noticed her skinny appearance. She is relaxed and recovering at home now.
