I got back from China early on Thursday morning – a twenty-six and a half hour journey, door to door – but haven't been able to get online much as our ADSL connection is still down (and won't be fixed until some time next week) and our modem connection isn't particularly stable. So, for the next few days at least, it's unlikely that I'll be posting an image a day.

Anyway, I'm online now so though I better put this up before the connection drops again. This was taken somewhere in Dalian, reasonably near to the train station (from what I can remember) and is reasonably representative of the back-streets of this town: small groups of people selling vegatables and fish from tricycles, or just spread before them on the pavement.

And finally: if you ever get the chance to visit China, go, it's a wonderful place.
