Well, we are back home! But, in pulling out all the stops just to get through our final month travelling (if we were travelling longer I think we would have just gone to ground for a month to do some serious recovery! We were nacked) we let a few things go by the wayside. Photography…

The day had come. We were finally leaving China and heading well, into the even more unknown. We, like most at home, have no idea what the ‘Stans look like, who lives there, what people eat and more. Even after doing extensive googling we still didn’t really have a clear picture in our heads. We…

So – it turns out that China has it’s own little Persian/turkish region! It’s called the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region and it’s massive. It takes up 1/6th of China with a total area of 1.6 million square km! Western Australia is 2.5 million square km, so while it isn’t as big as WA, it is…
