Into the Wild Blue Yonder!

"I told you getting into China would be easy!"

Well, it's gonna be a while before (a) I'm around a computer, and (b) I have a semi-permanent domicile, so I thought I'd leave a little parting gift in the meantime. Since none of you will be along for the the sights, sounds, exotic food, monsoons, cheap liquor, lack of showers, luggage-born backpain, or swampfoot, here's a little MP3 mix which approximates our intended route over the next two months. Wish us luck, and take care of yrselves in the meantime...
