We're both getting along pretty well, although as you might expect Caroline is learning in an altogether more focused and sensible method than me, which might explain our different A-level/abitur results....
Anyway, we're slowly getting to grips with the tones.
However, on the way to the Great Wall we discovered a confusing fact.
Not only should it strictly be called the Long Wall, according to our phrase book; the word for Wall is also the word for Orange. Same tones and everything.
How confusing.
Anyway, we both have some unbelievably good photographs, it really is one of those places you cannot take a bad picture.
Ben, Mark and Kerry, in memory of our fantastic trip here last time, here is a quick video directed at you three:
I will upload the photographs to Flickr as usual.
So if you're interested, do check them out there.
We actually stayed the night at Simatai, one of the 'scenic spots' next to the Wall. Here is a video of our view from the hostel:
Finally, by way of a thank you to the generous people in room 242 at NCC, here is a piccie of me sporting one of the most useful leaving presents known to man:
