Hey boys, glad to hear you made it to Xiahe in one piece. The cold up there is a bit of a change from the heat of Turpan isn’t it? Can’t wait to see photos from your football match with the monks. Our little group has made it to Kashgar. Hope we get a chance to meet up again in Beijing!

Hi, hot on your heels. After the magic of Dunhuang’s Grottoes – Big Buddha sends his love – and the questionable Jiayaguan ‘Great’ Wall, I’m off to Lanzhou – my (train)Wheels of Steel turning at the highest rpm they can muster.

Peace and love. (In a Xiahe style)

Apparently Dyer’s made some sort of miracle recovery (or everyone was overreacting in the first place) and may still play.

Phil, I’m still surprised Sven hasn’t called on you to beef up the wide right – why not fax him, let him know you’re feeling fresh?

Canadian Neighbours — Yes the cool of Xiahe totally welcome relief from the Turpan oven, good to hear you made it to the beautiful Kashgar. Monky action to come… we now have game planned for the grasslands on Monday. We plan to be in Beijing 23rd and 24th, will you, or anyone else who fancies getting together, be around then?

The Boy Noble — So you caught us up, quite literally… isn’t it, mate. Know what you mean about Jaiyuaguan ‘Scenic Spot’, a tourist rebuild not so Great Wall… get me off this sightseeing trail and lets play a game or two… six o’clock tonight at the Tibetan Middle School today and two o’clock in the grasslands tomorrow.

Ben — Good news on Dyer. I’m bang up for the Sven call up… got his fax number?
