Will has texted me to say that he and Haixiao are off to Mt Emei for sightseeing and to visit some temples.
He expects to be back in Changdu in about a week.

For those of you that just want news of his travels:
Will has arrived safely in Zigong and is spending time with his girlfriend Haixiao. (pronounced hi-sh-ouww I think) Everything is going great expect for the fact that he has not been able to find a power adapter for his notebook - therby limiting his Internet access thus far. He has commented that he and Haixiao are getting along great and seem very compatible.
His comment was that things are in China just how he expected but “even more so”, and that the roads are very dangerous, the taxis, for example, do not have seat belts.
The other interesting thing is that everywhere he goes the locals stare at him and there are very very few (if any) other westerners.
He told me that he will try and get on to post for himself ASAP and keep you all updated!
