I'm moving the blog to gmanstravels.weebly.com
Fee moved hers to there a while ago, and its easier to get in China - no proxies to play around with!
Please move with me and continue following my adventures!

A Little Less Talk...And A Lot More Action!
Fee ripped her Cheap Seats Cds!
I am still here, i haven't been bathed yet!
Its been very exciting, i've been travelling with Fee. Neither of us had internet access for 2 months (well, she didn't, which means i don't). She did have to get a new laptop...appparently, the old one didn't like flying as much as we do!
We've been what seems like everywhere! We started out going to Changchun, which is in the North of China. We went to see Fee's friend Ivana. I liked Ivana. She looked after me! [pic]
Changchun was very very cold! It made my raisins shrivel!! [pic]
We made snow angels, and Fee and Ivana agreed that my snow angel was possibly the cutest thing ever...i can't help it, i'm cute!
After playing in the snow, we went to Harbin for the Ice Festival. Fee left me with Ivana while she went to the ice festival itself. I decided that this was a good idea. Ivana sat in a restaurant and had cups of coffee for a few hours...that was nice and warm! I did find other ways of staying warm though! [pic] [pic]
We came back from Haerbin by Bullet train. [pic] It was an accident really, Ivana got the tickets (typically, i was smuggled in Fee's backpack...), and the only tickets she knows how to get are 'fast tickets', so we ended up on the bullet train! It was really fun! [pic]
After Changchun, Fee and i travelled down to Lanzhou so that we could get a flight to a place called Dunhuang. Fee wanted to see some caves. I was more interested in the hotel room! [pic]
I decided that a good rest was in order!! [pic]
After Dunhuang. we went to a city called Guiyang and met Fee's friend Cheryl [pic]
We went to a beautiful park [pic], Fee ran around a lot squealing about some things called Monkeys...they looked a bit scary to me...but she liked them! We had some stuff that Fee called Candy Floss, but then she ate some and decided that it wasn't candy floss, but something horrible.[pic]
After the bad luck of the candy floss, we went to a 'good luck wall'. We had to walk from a spot to touch the wall with our eyes closed (Fee did very well, it only hurt a bit when i headbutted the wall...). Apparently, i now have good luck! [pic]
After Guiyang, Fee left me in Hechuan to keep an eye on her apartment...then forgot to take me out again!!

Don't Need Nothing But A Good Time...
Fee took me out! Out for the night, we went away to Chongqing - the big city!
We stayed at a place called Tina's Hostel, which had the most comfortable beds ever ever ever...much more comfortable than my shelf in Fee's apartment.
However...she is making me a quilt and pillow, and i think i see some clothing being made as well! That's good because Hechuan had rain last night, so its cooled down a lot, i think i might get a bit chilly being nakey soon...
We went out for the night, and i spent time with the teacher crew - from L-R, Phoenix, Mat, Pete, Lilly, Carolina and Alison.
Fee thinks she might have been bitten by a spider...i hope its not hanging about on my shelf!! I don't want spider bites! I don't like spiders! I like cockroaches even less...but we think that they've been eliminated now. There were a couple that went in the bathroom after Fee...and they keeled over and died...so whatever it is that Fee did must have been bad!

Leaving...On a Jet Plane
Fee kept me in the samepocket as her boarding passes, so i grabbed a snap when she fell asleep heehee.
China's hot, and somewhere along the way i lost my earring, so Fee's got to replace it soon.
It is really hot here, and i'm quite glad that although she's got the stuff for my clothes, she hasn't made them yet. It's quite nice being a nakey Gman at the moment. I'm living on a shelf in her apartment bedroom. The apartment's nice, but i keep seeing bugs nearly as big as me (i may be exaggerating here)!! She's killed one, she's much braver than me.
She's got a housemate called Lilly, who i have met, she's very nice, she's irish.
Fee, Lilly and the boys went to play Ping Pon today with Sawyer, a Chinese student who has been bringing her food.
We're in quarantine at the moment. We arrived on Monday, so Fee's really hoping that she'll be able to go out of the campus tonight! She only got internet access today, so she's been going a bit crazy, she calls it Cabin Fever...i hope its not like swine flu...
I am well, but i had to get her to reshape my stuffing when we got here, it was a long journey wrapped round her MP3 player in the pocket. She's got some good music on there!
I want to get out and explore! I don't think i have swine flu...i don't think its something that's passed from humans to Gingerbread Men yet.
She's got me some friends- there's Dopey, and there's Baby Verball. Baby Verball is a bit scary and talks to her through the computer...she speaks, and it answers in a chinese accent! She says she's talking to someone called Susan, but i'm not convinced...i think that Baby Verball might be possessed...

Take me down to the Paradise City...
Fee took me to York again! We're there now. Its great. I love York almost as much as she does. She's told me to say goodbye to everyone in case she throws me ut of the plane on the way to China!
We've been hanging round the York Body Piercing Clinic again...and look what happened when she went for a wee!
The scary men got me! They had a cutthroat razor at my nether regions! She had to promise that she'd come back from China before they'd release me!
Having become a pretty seasoned piercee, i did what everyone should do before committing to body jewellery - i stuck my nose i the studio! They showed me the Autoclave, the Ultrasonic and the Sharps Bin.
A small hint - if your preferred studio doesn't have any of these, run as fast as your little ginger legs will take you!
Fee went for a wee and left me in the hands of the scary men! They left me in the studio (they said it was so that i could have a little sleep...
But it was only so that they could go and find instruments of torture!
I'd like to say that after this picture, i cleverly flipped up and karate kicked him in the eye, forcing him to cut his own hand off...but its not true...Fee, like my saving angel swooped in and picked me up with a loud 'NOOOOOOOO' cry. I'm safely in her pocket now...

We're all going on a Summer Holiday
Fee and Nik took me to Weston Super Mare for the weekend. We were supposed to be going to Big Green Gathering, but the Police and Mendip Council scuppered our plans...
So...as Fee and Nik had already paid for our travel, we went to the seaside for the weekend.
We travelled by train, and i spent most of it asleep on the table...except for the small baking break on top of a post box in London.
We went to a campsite in Kewstoke, just outside of Weston Super Mare. I found out that Nik's sleeping bag provides the perfect camouflage for a small gingerbread man!
They took me to the seaside!!
Nik built me my very own sandcastle
But i found a bigger one that i preferred...
The next day we went to Glastonbury. It was a long long trek from Kewstoke - took us 3 hours to get there! (i think they went wrong somewhere, but i didn't dare tell them that...). When we got there, a nice long drink and a sit in a fairy garden was in order.
After Glastonbury (where Fee spent a fortune on some really heavy books that she had to carry all the way home...hee hee), we went to Bristol! We went to The Little Co-Op
And then, we met Mr Andy Hamilton!! Co-Author of The Self Sufficientish Bible - Fee's favourite book - she has a mention in the back...
The rest of the weekend was spent meeting Ishers. Ishers are apparently very special people, Fee loves them. I met Andy (above), Eccentric Emma and her OH, and Gigglybug. I like Ishers too!
Me and Ishers in the tent and FestivISH
Me and Eccentric Emma had a few in the pub...
And here is the complete group of FestivISHers!
After a busy weekend, we went to the aquarium on Sunday. Fee and Nik had had enough of my complaining by then (gingerbread men can't get wet...ok?! Get it?!) so they threatened to feed me to a shark...!
Then it was time to go home...i slept most of the way...
Next trip: York for the weekend. No Smurf, Bert and Kidlets this time though - they're moving to Cornwall :( I'm sure that Fee and i will visit them when we get back from our Adventures round the world!

Last night...She Said
Fee and i went out with Paul last night. We had a great time. Fee wasn't allowed to drink too much because she'd had painkillers for her poor tooth before we went out.
I more than made up for it...been a bit delicate today...
I wish she hadn't used the flash though...i'm sure i blinked!
Hopefully this fuzziness will go soon. Hey....a pint is a lot for a little man! I could have bathed in it...probably would have smelt better...
