We really enjoy going out and getting lost in a city, and a few years ago we wrote a song about it. So I've used this as a sound track for a collection of images from our trip. In all the cities we visited in China, we found cheap public transport and we learnt to negotiate our way across roads teeming with electric scooters, bikes, cars and pedestrians all over the place. Communication was often a challenge with our limited Mandarin, and very few people we met could speak English or read a map. But people always wanted to help and would sometimes go out of their way to take us where we wanted to go.

AuthorThe day to day account of our travels was posted on a "Psychedelic travellers" WhatsApp group and a "Julia and Ian in China" WeChat group. So postings after October are summaries and reflections. To follow the story in chronological order, work your way back through the archives from March. Why "Psychedelic Travellers"? Because we read Michael Pollan's 2018 book How to change your mind:the new science of psychedelics, and liked the way Pollan likens an acid trip to travelling in an unfamiliar country.
