everything will be out of order from here on out

With all the blocks put in place for blogging in China, all my entries have been and will be disorderly for an indefinite period of time. The actual order of events goes as follows: Shanghai to meet with Alexei, a spell in Xiamen, then Beijing to Datong (Shanxi) to Hohhot (Inner Mongolia) to Xilinhot to Baotou and back to Beijing, then a few days in Xiamen and then now I am in Taiwan. All my vignettes will be out of order. Some pics are mine, most are Shawna's. We go!
