Who's up for a slug?

And I thought that drinking camel milk was an adventure in itself!

What about the Donganmen Night Market in Beijing?

Crickets, slugs, sea horses, sea lizzards, bees, silkworms, centipedes and mighty scorpions are on offer :O

And guess what... I tasted them all! As promised...

9/9 tasks completed so far, what else do you need to support the Fundacion Ninos de los Andes? After all, to raise awareness is why I am doing this for...

Sadly, similar images to those I encountered in Colombia are to be seen everywhere.

Even from the very first day in Moscow, through to Siberia and Ulaan Baatar, I have been witnessing how extreme poverty affects scores of people.

I was told by a local guide that in the Mongolian capital there are also street children that find shelter inside the sewage system.

In shiny Beijing, revamped especially for the Olympic games, most of the locals live in hutongs, traditional neighbourhoods, in which many of the houses lack hot water and toilet facilities.

Now I am in the small town of Datong, waiting to catch a bus to the famous Yungang Caves and the Hanging Monastery.

I have just seen a man with no legs pushing his way forward on a tiny wreck of a trolley, using his palms against the dust road, which is full of mud and leftovers from the local eateries.

Am I too privileged to be here? I do not know...

But for sure many of us can do a lot, when we work together...
