Dunhuang, somewhere between East and West, in the deserts of China's Gansu province.
So far everything has been going very smooth: we always managed to get train tickets, hotels and transportation easily. And no quarrelling so far, disregarding arguments over card game rules (but that's just Hanna cheating!).
The 2nd class sleepers on the trains are quite cheap, and really good value. Not always air conditioning, and a little bit short on leg space for Floris, but hey. As Hanna is of a more standard Chinese female size, she's all happy. Travelling by train has been quite charming so far, with friendly Chinese offering us fruits and with very impressive and diverse landscapes.
We will (hopefully) be coming back with more impressions on the places we visited, but let's suffice to say for now that we are happy we decided to halt in some places in China. It will leave us with very different impressions of China than what we experienced while working in Shanghai.

Dag jarige Hanna en onze kakkernest Floris,
Blij iets van jullie te horen. Ook oma is tevreden . Ze belt ongeveer iedere dag om te vrazgen of er van jullie nieuws is. Ik heb haar nu ook geleerd de weblog te gebruiken.
China is fantastisch he. Heel gevarieerd inzake landschappen en ook wel veel lieve mensen.
We zijn benieuwd naar jullie impressies over Xi'an. Hopelijk hebben we snel nog wat contact.
Hier alles goed.Oma ook aan de beterhand (letterlijk).

Hi you two - great to hear to you're doing fine in far away China and that both transportation and traveling together is going smoothly. We send our best regards for Hanna's birthday and hope you had a really nice day. Hopefullt, we'll get more detailed impressions and some pictures later on, but I guess it's not dat obvious when you have but limited access to the www. Take care, and all the best from the three us of. Iannis, Tineke en Rolf
Happy birthday, Hanna! Catch the cake, it's still fresh, and enjoy it with your train companions!
Finally we localized you two out there in the desert - got your postcard today :-) Now you've got two new fans, eager to read more and follow your adventures as your marco-polo-journey continues. All the best. Take care!
