Oh, and the serenity of that photo is a total lie; you can’t see the housekeeper behind the camera snorting with annoyance because I won’t get off the bed so she can put a sheet over the shiny red duvet.

Brilliant comic diary, what a fab idea. Wish I was as talented as you! ☺

haha! You definitely persevered with your appearance of serenity though…

I love the moles’ noses for some reason! Looking forward to the next installment.

I love this! When I went to Beijing about 26 years ago there were bicycles everywhere and only a couple of grand hotels AND the waiters stopped at lunchtime to have lunch. When I returned to China two years ago – Shanghai this time – it was all big billboards, fancy cars and our hotel room had such a nice view – the shower had a full length window so that you didn’t have to stop looking out. Can’t wait for the rest of the comic, Sarah!

I love this- more please!

Brilliant! And I especially love your “not mistakes” comment.

Ooh, breakfast gendarme ! I need one of those !

Thanks, everyone! Ha ha, we had one of those floor-to-ceiling windows in our bathroom, so you could see everything that went on there from the bedroom (and any visiting window cleaner, I suppose). But we did see wait staff all eating meals together in the restaurants, that was kind of nice. Except then they had to listen to a big pep talk and chant slogans and sing the company song. Eek!
