Before you scroll through this blog you may enjoy a summary of our trip in 4 short films 

Slow Train to China (4:33' ) using Glenn Miller's cover of Chatanooga Choo choo
(see October posting for more explanation)

Getting Lost in China (2:39') using a recording of a song we wrote and recorded
(See November posting for more explanation)

Ian & Julia's  7 day Chengdu tour (4:31') a film made by a student in Chengdu including clips of us singing and playing

为人民服务 renmin fuwu wei Serve the people (You gotta serve somebody) (4:06) using Natalie Cole singing Bob Dylan's You gotta serve somebody.  I thought of this song after our meeting with Liang Fang (see November posting with reference to Buddha and Mao) so I've used it for a film to pay tribute to all the people in China who gave us such a happy and unforgettable experience.

I love all these films so much! They are a testimony to friendship and love and, as the commentary says, to ‘positive people’. What a fab couple you are J & I !

    The 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.
