The Last Drop of Water

Thursday, 8 October 2009 5:11 P GMT+08
As the water sports wind down, the city is beginning to get back to normal. Well, as normal as it gets. At the weekend the locals get their river back. To my surprise some aspects of the mutterings of discontent seem to be being addressed.

Power Ski

Tuesday, 6 October 2009 12:03 A GMT+08
After the water ski events, we moved on to what is known as power ski. A bit like the millions of electric scooters plaguing Liuzhou, but these run on water.

Water Skiing Seeing

Monday, 5 October 2009 7:02 P GMT+08
So the water skiers have gone. Now we move on to the F1 Speedboating. So before we go, here are some clips from Liuzhou TV showing some of the ski events. But first, the opening ceremony and fireworks!

Anniversaries of the Past

Thursday, 1 October 2009 8:44 P GMT+08

The Waters of Oblivion

Tuesday, 8 September 2009 12:26 A GMT+08
It is still hot and a favourite way to cool down is, of course, to hop, dive or jump into your favourite swimming pool.

Taxi Traumas - Bus Bedlam

Sunday, 6 September 2009 12:47 A GMT+08
They're a pretty polite lot around here. But first let me backtrack. This morning I did something I tend to avoid. I took a bus. The reason for this uncharacteristic behaviour was that yesterday I was severely traumatised by a taxi ride ...

Utility Futility

Sunday, 23 August 2009 10:35 A GMT+08
My heart sank immediately. There I was, 7:30pm last Wednesday evening, sitting at the computer doing some work against a deadline, when all the power to my flat died.

Cheesed Off

Saturday, 22 August 2009 12:55 P GMT+08
The only thing we have not discovered and will not eat is cheese. The Mongols could not persuade us to eat cheese, and the Europeans do not have a greater chance of doing so. - Lin Yutang, MyCountry and My People, 1935

Aung San Suu Kyi

Tuesday, 11 August 2009 5:48 P GMT+08
So, the filthy scum who pretend to be the Burmese government partly caved in and instead of the five year prison sentence which was widely expected have imposed another 18 months of house arrest on their elected leader, Aung San Suu Kyi, the world's

Uptown Top Ranking

Tuesday, 4 August 2009 12:12 P GMT+08

Snail writing fire

Monday, 13 August 2007 11:20 P GMT+08
Only days after telling you of the record number of fires breaking out around Liuzhou, I spot yet another. This one is more interesting from a gastronomic and a linguistic viewpoint, however.

They're at it again!

Friday, 27 April 2007 7:09 P GMT+08
One of the few redeeming features of my banking arrangements was that I seldom had to actually enter the Agricultural Bank where I store my loot. They had a (usually) very efficient and simple to use ATM system. So they changed it.
