Disaster. My beer supply for the weekend was on its way when the idiot driving the truck had a collision with another truck going in the opposite direction. Both drivers were trapped and had to be rescued by the local rescuers.

As regulars will know, apart from this blog, I have a website which contains information about Liuzhou. Useful for a few people. It's been there for about six years and has grown from one page to over 200. A lot of work, but fun.

Good Job - $7.5 million a minute.

Tuesday, 12 August 2008 2:17 P GMT+08
The FT is reporting that Liuzhou's most famous export, Li Ning is $30 million US dollars richer as a result of his 4 minute flight and torch lighting. Great work if you can get it.

Only A Pawn In Their Games
