Year of the Pig

Pig

So, I'm finally going - off to Heathrow tonight then flying out tomorrow. I seem to be taking all my worldy posessions with me, but hopefully my new (massive!) suitcase won't be over the weight limit :)

I'm hoping to have enough internet access to update this blog occasionally - assuming I can get through the Chinese firewall to it. I should be able to put a few photos on Flickr as well, with any luck.

I'm actually quite nervous - it's a long way to go by myself and I don't really know quite what to expect on the other end. Still, I'm looking forward to it - if nothing else it will be very different from anything that I've done before.
