This is a way of staying in contact with as many people as possible whilst Im off on my adventures. It will probably mostly consist of me rambling on in diary entries about what Im up to, where I am and how the whole thing is going, with a bunch of photos for those who cant be bothered to read the text! This will either make you thoroughly bored or insanely jealous but either way please let me know on the messages board it would be wicked to stay in touch with as many of you as possible whilst Im away, and Im sure the idea of me trying to go round the world should give you all the ammo you could need to put some comments up! Really looking forward to hearing how youre all getting on so stay in touch. Anyway dont worry too much I think we all know Ill blatantly be back in a month! http://www.getjealous.com/nickconlon http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=536718&go=nickconlon I'm way behind on this getjealous site - facebook is firmly to blame!

Its nice the idea of going somewhere were things actually work. However, as soon as I thought departure was in my site - the Chinese ability to make anything, no matter how love child of German and Japanese efficiency organised it is, collapse into a heap of almost Britis... http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=451302&go=nickconlon Wed, 13 Feb 2008 12:00:00 GMT http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=447483&go=nickconlon We took a weekend to head off to climb china"s most famous mountain - tai shan. It is said that that if u climb Tai shan you will live to be a hundred. At its heights Confucius uttered the dictum "the world is small ", Mao lumbered up and declared "the East is Red ".
