Migrant Deaths

More information is coming to light about the traffic accident yesterday in which ten people died. All the dead and injured were passengers in the van which collided head on with a coach. No one on the bus was injured.
A Travel Tale
Thursday, 28 February 2008 1:50 P GMT+08
Here is a touching little story from the depths of what is universally known as "the Spring Festival snow disaster" as reported in China Daily.

Do they think we are all mad? Do they really expect us to believe this nonsense?
Hot air in Freezing China
Friday, 1 February 2008 4:58 P GMT+08
The whole country is paralysed by the worst weather in 50+ years. Half a million people trapped in one railway station. Millions more elsewhere.
But don't worry. The Premier, Wen Jiabao has it all sorted.
Travel Disaster
Monday, 28 January 2008 2:25 P GMT+08
I’m sorry to go on about this, but it is cold. I’m told that this is Guangxi’s coldest winter since 1951. I wasn’t around then. I didn’t exist. So I have to believe them.
so far away from home
Thursday, 24 January 2008 11:51 A GMT+08
As ever at this time of year, China is on the move or about to be.
Crash Landing
Friday, 18 January 2008 2:28 P GMT+08
I'm often asked, by both Chinese people and by other laowai, why I have stayed in China so long. I rarely give the correct answer. I claim that I am waiting for the statute of limitations to run out or some other joke answer, but now I can reveal the
Photographic Failure
Wednesday, 16 January 2008 10:14 A GMT+08
At the weekend, I went off for a trip into the wilds of north Guangxi. It was a pretty boring business trip, but the worst thing was the freezing cold! Too cold to take any pictures! Can someone please invent a heated camera!
Line Dancing
Monday, 10 December 2007 12:57 P GMT+08
I have, on occasion, been described as ?negative?. A scandalous libel! I am merely healthily cynical. And, only occasionally, something occurs which fails to justify my cynicism (for a moment or two). I then smile happily (for a moment or two).
Well Travelled Water
Saturday, 27 October 2007 7:42 A GMT+08
One thing I forgot to mention in my recollections of my recent travel was the astonishing liquid accompaniment to what the British Airways staff jokingly referred to as "a meal".
Take me on a trip
Friday, 26 October 2007 1:45 P GMT+08
Around 23,000 km in less than two weeks. By car, bus, train, boat and plane.
Take me on a trip
Wednesday, 10 October 2007 8:40 A GMT+08
Things may be quiet round here for a couple of weeks. I'm going to the UK to attend a wedding. In all, I'll be away about 10 days.
How to catch fish!
Sunday, 7 October 2007 2:17 P GMT+08
Only minutes after informing you that I had been mistaken in my duck acquisition techniques, I stumble across the awful truth that I’ve also been catching my fish incorrectly, too!
Sentry Duck

Last week, I decided to go for a walk in the countryside on the outskirts of Liuzhou. I'm not sure why.
Times Reporter Gets Lost (Again)
Sunday, 8 October 2006 11:06 P GMT+08
What is it with travel journalists？ Here we are in the third biggest country in the world and every journalist on the planet seems to vist the same four over exposed tourist traps! Beijing, Xi'an, Shanghai and Guilin. There's nothing wrong with those
Tripping
Tuesday, 15 August 2006 11:59 P GMT+08
Well, as I mentioned before, I took a trip north to my old stalking grounds in West Hunan. I lived there ten years ago and this was my first trip back.
My ultimate destination was the remote town of Yuanling. Getting there involves an 8 hour ove
It takes a train to cry
Tuesday, 8 August 2006 11:59 P GMT+08
I'm off travelling. A short trip north to the neighbouring province of Hunan, where I lived 10 years ago. Looking forward to seeing old friends and eating the wonderful food!
However!
The Revolutionary Chinese Cookbook
Sunday, 23 July 2006 8:36 A GMT+08
When I first arrived in China, after briefly passing through Beijing and Xi'an, I settled down in Hunan Province for a couple of years.
Passport Panic
Sunday, 16 July 2006 11:59 P GMT+08
For the last few weeks, I have been a nervous wreck, virtually unable to function. What has reduced me to such a state? I had to renew my passport!
You would think this would be relatively painless. Not so.
It's not fare!
Saturday, 4 March 2006 1:36 P GMT+08
In another step on the march to socialism, Liuzhou's Bus Co. did the unthinkable and raised the bus fares on Wednesday, 1st March. Prior to that, 99% of Liuzhou buses took you wherever you desired at a flat rate of ¥1 (7 pence UK, 12 cents US). Now
All Aboard!
Tuesday, 21 December 2004 10:57 P GMT+08
Yesterday, I did something rather rash. I know it's a bad habit, but where would we be if we didn't occasionally do something wild and crazy? It's not something I do often and I'm sure it's not habit forming.In a moment of madness, I decided to take
