About to head south

I am gonna be going South for my vacation soon. Contact will be sporadic and unreliable. I will leave Beijing on Sautrday morning via a 26 hour train ride, and arrive in Guilin on Sunday around noon. On Monday morning I plan to go to Yangshuo, and stay there for most of the week. On Friday I will probably go to Guizhou for a day or two, and then to Shantou/Guiyu. After that I hope to be in Xiamen for Christmas, and I haven't decided whether I will stay there for a few days or if I will go north to Huangzhou. Sorry that these names are meaningless to those of you unfamiliar with Chinese geography. I probably won't be updating the blog for a while, but I will take lots of pictures. Wish me luck!
