    The view looked amazing from the hotel.That was some strange noises from the bus haha. Cat is always so positive and happy which is great to see. I have a good friend who was locked up in a Chinese jail for 4 months. And his comments were it was not that bad. Not how you would imagine. Very clean, polite staff but no phone calls or visitors allowed and was not allowed to receive books etc. He now meets the warden occasionally on the outside for dinner together. He came out speaking pretty good Chinese....

    Super snuggly smiley Kat and the Englishman out of place everywhere (including his own parents house I reckon) are a match made in travel heaven There is something endearing about your videos which make them a pleasure to watch but also the unwavering honesty and often brutality of poverty and differing living standards makes them a must see for anyone interested in humanity.
