NZ to Israel

Over Asia. Hong Kong, China, Mongolia, Trans-siberian train to Moscow, up to St Petersburg, across to Helsinki and down to Israel.

Imagine the amount of Scrabble you could play on a seven day train ride. Also chatting to strangers, which is fast becoming my most favoured hobby.

In the team:
Conor (Irish, that's right I've become Catholic)
Ben (Texas, 20, dreadlocks, fun, leader 1)
Heidi (Finish, 20, great leader 2)
Ken (Half Aztec Indian (native American), 20, mountaineer, deep thinker and cool)
Laura (American, 35, ex air force)
Hwai-Jinn (Female, 26, Singapore (which is a country, not an airline), accountant and Manderin speaker)

So that's us. They're a great bunch of people and we should work well as a team. It's a little bit too exciting. Not certain what we will be doing yet, but we have contacts in the areas who are helping arrange stuff.
