Grace left the relative comfort of Sydney in January to teach English in Xi'an, China. Andrew visited Grace in China for one month from mid-July to Mid-August. This travel blog was primarily to share our experiences with family and friends. There is no guarantee it will be funny - "ha ha", that is. Grace became frustrated with the behaviour of locals at least once a day, and Andrew banged his head on something low almost once a day.

We've now returned to life as usual. The trip highlight for Grace was seeing the remote Tibetan areas of northwestern Sichuan Province, and for Andrew it was cruising in relative luxury down the Yangtze.

Until our next adventure together.
