I am going to try to put you in touch with them. In fact, I might even be in China at that time. I will keep you posted. Anything you need from home?

One thing that was quite un-expected to learn from your travels is to discover how many Turkish words (food, celebrations, etc) are similar to Romanian. Anyway, I have a friend in Shanghai that would be more than happy to meet you. Let me know if you are interested and I can email you the details in a private message. Happy travels! Hi guys,

Just our two cents (you are probably tired of our two cents by now!) but you might want to consider a bus/train in bits of Thailand (perhaps some parts of the south and around Bangkok) to give at least another week for Laos. The northern half leading up to China is very interesting. Also, the terrain (very hilly) and the bad roads might require a bit more time than you expect, especially if it's raining...
