Let¡¯s face it, the place needed a tidy up. I decided there¡¯s only a couple of things I know enough about to write on, that¡¯s China, and then me. Let¡¯s get down to business¡ |
|
China |
|
The view from the street¡ |
|
Before getting up to date, I had a look at some other China blogs. There¡¯s a gap in the market. No-one goes up to the old-codger with a fag in his mouth and asks him what he thinks about the whole thing. So here¡¯s my report from the street¡ |
|
But you have to do some of the tourist bits as well, of course. I¡¯ve got some pages on Hubei Province and the Shen Nong Jia Nature Reserve, on Yunnan Province, a page on Tibet, one on Hong Kong... |
|
Also, a bit of local patter always goes down well. Still, when it¡¯s this much agro you start to wonder whether it¡¯s really just easier to shout louder. |
|
So I wrote a page about learning Chinese, and a little page or two about BLCU in Beijing, and one about Sichuan Uni, where I have now settled down for the long-haul. |

I guess the rest is all just |

The first thing, of course, is to keep up to date with what Rui has been up to, and I¡¯ve made a little page to put up all the photographs I have. |
|
I have also done a few travel blogs about the places I¡¯ve been to apart from China, namely my best trip so far, which was to North Korea, then later a trip to South Korea of course, a blog from my month in Japan, and then a page about the Trans-Siberian Railway which I did back in 2004. |
|
I still have a page on my friends and family, some pictures that were taken during my Ballroom Dancing days, and a page on dentistry. |
|
I also have a little effort relating to things back home in England, for anyone who has never been, and who doesn¡¯t fancy getting done over by one of our consular officials. I have kept the page about Christmas 2008 too. |
|
Well, apart from reorganising the navigation, obviously, I have started writing a proper blog, which may or may not prove of any interest. But my biggest change has been a massive beefing up of my disgusting foods page, with a lot of additional pictures I have collected this couple of years. I have added a whole new page on Rui. God I hope she likes it. I have changed around the England page, and added some pictures of Sichuan University. |
|
I added two other big pages a while ago, but it was only during the spring festival that I discovered none of the links worked. So it may be worth checking my new(ish) pages on North Korea and the Trans-Siberian Railway. Now that¡¯s what I call an update. |

Me news |

Well, there might actually be some people who want to know. Last week was my first week back at university after the Chinese New Year, and now I¡¯m in Upper Intermediate, whatever that means. The classes are packed this year, and some classes have had to be moved to the students dormitory due to lack of space. Rui has now finished all her training, and the last 10 days saw her have stopovers in Osaka, the Philippines, and then London, where Mum and Dad, of course, pushed the boat out for an intensive 10-hour tour of the South of England, as far as was possible. Photographs later. |
