The beginnings of China!
Hello everybody, Sorry we haven't updated in a while. In China many internet sites are blocked including our blogg and facebook so we just figured out how to get around that.We made it to Beijing with no problems. We even got to share the train compartment with two generous Mongols (a Mom and her son that were both hair cutters and had competed in hair cutting competitions). We've recieved so much generosity from people on our train rides here; it's made me try to be more generous as well.Beijing is huge! but the subway system is really easy and cheap so that really helped us get around. We stayed with a couch surfer named Zhao our first few nights and he

Quick update
Hello friends and fam!We've had a really nice time here in Mongolia with a big thanks to Anne (Kyle's cousin once removed, yeah we figured it out finally) and Sam for letting us stay with them and being so hospitable and kind.After waiting in a stagnant line for almost an hour the ticket booth sudenly was thrown into activation mode and people almost step over eachother to get their tickets. We got one! so we will be heading to Beijing early tomorrow morning and arriving the day after that. Unfortunately we couldn't make our way south first on the local train and see the Gobi because the local trains are still closed. Can't win them all.The Plan:Beijing tomorr

Land of the Mongols
Sam bah Know! (Can you guess? Hello in Mongolian)So we have arrived into Mongolia! We've been here now for almost two weeks actually. We trained to Ulaanbaatar where we spent a couple days touring around the city and desperately trying to get rid of our colds as most people walked the streets with face masks, attempting to protect themselves from the Swine flu. (Just today we had to get face masks in order to use one of the only remaining open internet cafes. Fortunately I was allowed to wear my balaclava so I didn't have to buy a mask. Yay!)Then we headed out for a horse riding trek to the "Ancient Capital": a small, quite unexciting town. The horse trek was really
