China! Post, the First

We're halfway through the China trip, and while the Internet access has been spotty, it seems that China no longer blocks LJ.

We're in Chengdu today, home of the panda preserve, and it seems my panda-holding poll was moot, because they've just increased the panda-holding fee to a ridiculous amount. So there shall be pics of the little girl with a panda, but not me.

Otherwise we're having a great time, though there is possibly too much history and Chinese food, and not enough playgrounds or donkeys for Ros.

I can't post pics until we get home, but there have been tons of pics taken. The new camera is awesome, and now I'm wishing I'd pulled it out sooner.
