Catching up on me

Crikey, I haven't updated this since Brisbane. That was nearly three months ago and prior to the most exciting/unusual part of my trip. I'll update retrospectively, gradually, as I extract the bits of writing from here and there - things are scribbled in one or other of the numerous notebooks I have been carrying around. Some words are slowly shipping their way from Beijing to New Zealand in a package I posted back in June. Still, I can link to photos...
