4 Days to go

Only 4 days to go. Counting down now... Plans have changed again, so the calendar down below is wrong already. We have changed it so that there is no back and forth to and froing and we go round in a big circle. I am not sure exactly where, but will post it when I find out. We now go through Shaolin, home of Kung Fu :) as well as all the other sites we planned to visit. Basically Di had the following that were on a list that we must see:
Great Wall
Forbidden City
Tianamen Square (my spelling is bad)
Terracotta warriors.

It has also grown to include the hanging monistaries, temple of heaven, Shaolin temple and a few others. The panda is still optional, as I think we could go to Sydney and see one in a Zoo (I am guessing we would have to see one in a Zoo over there, chances in the wild might be slim).

MP and DS: Travelling.... soon

To all our dear friends and acquaintances:
 
MP(Mark Prior) and DS( Diana Shi) will be travelling soon(17 days). To the ORIENT!
We are heading off on a whirl wind tour of asia....well ok, just Malaysia and China. But thats enough for us.
 
We will be away from your presence(if we were in your presence to start with) for approximately one month, visiting approximately 7 major cities in Asia.
 
Our first city will be Kuala Lumpar in Malaysia. Where we will spend a jam packed 18 hours. Then we head for Beijing China. Then Datong, Xian, Luoyang, Shaolin, and Shanghai.
 
To keep a track of what going on we will be posting a blog( if you don't know what it is, ask your nearest geek), publishing our progress.
 
For this information, and information on everything that MP and DS do, go to

Best of luck to those with exams, and also those without.
