Well that’s it folks! This is my last Blog from China, tomorrow is going to be the longest day in the world. We leave our hotel at 6.30am and get back to Heathrow at 2.40pm, after a 12 hour flight and an 8 hour time difference on top. I have some amazing memories to take […]
So today was our last day in the hospital, we have experienced and learnt so much from these lovely people, a lot of which I have shared here with you. Tonight we hosted a banquet for our hosts, there was an abundance of different types of local food specialities and customs. When they poured our […]
As I can’t actually see what my blog looks like because China have banned WordPress who host this blog, you will have to forgive me if I repeat myself! Have I shown you the view from my student digs? I have a dual height, dual lane, dual carriageway just outside my window, see the picture. […]
I can’t believe that tomorrow is our penultimate day in clinic, each day flies by.

And so we begin our second week in the hospital, the time is flying by! We have chosen which professor we would each like to work with for the rest of the week. The doctors see so many patients during a clinic and today we saw everything from mouth ulcers and tinnitus to heart disease […]
What a lovely day! I don’t know that words can describe it really, so here are some pics and video of my special day in China .. Enjoy ..

This word is seen […]
Last night on the way back from our interesting tea party, where they kindly let us use their CW (they meant WC!) we stumbled across a herbal pharmacy, they sell all sorts of remedies which they can make up for you while you wait. We also stopped at a ‘regular’ chemist and bought them out […]
Firstly I need to apologise to my Acupuncturist followers who will be wondering why on earth I titled yesterday’s Blog ‘A Try at Qi’. Clearly this makes absolutely no sense.
