Should have said it's an antique Mah Jong set that I'm looking for!...

We're off to China (trip code ACE) this October.  We're leaving the day before the group flight and wondered whether anyone else in the group is doing the same.  We've booked to stay in the arrival hotel for an extra night.  If there's anyone out there who is arriving on 1st October let me know so that we can get acquainted.  I'd like to buy a Mah Jong set during our travels.  We're tacking on 4 nights in Hong Kong.  Does anyone know where the best place is to shop?...

I am doing the is trekk to raise money for SANDS. I've booked it so in advance (Jan 2013)  beacuse I want to raise as much money as possible for the charity. I am funding the trekk myslf so all money raised goes straight to the charity and that way I cut out the middle man.

Please sponsor me no matter how big or small everything willl make a difference.

The foundations are laid but Ramadan has arrived so the pace will slow. Imagine trying to do manual labour when you can't eat/drink from about 4.30 AM to 7.30 AM - and its about 35 degrees on a cool day.

Anyway, i have been assured...
