Ahhh goodness me!! I'm about a zillion pounds poorer.. Applied/paid for visas this morning:
belarus
russia
kazahkstan
china

Am 359 pounds lighter..... then I have to buy my actual tickets. And my flight home... EEK!

Saying that, I got another pay rise ;) 2 weeks work = 700 euros... not too shabby.
Shabba!

I'm glad I'm not going to mongolia. In Mongolia they eat horse, cured in soured milk. Me and Marmaduke Periwinkle-Smythe can eat caviar jacket tatties in russia, er.. camel burgers in kazahkstan(?) and rice in china. I shall duly record all our meals because I know that's what you're interested in.
