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

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.

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!

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).

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!
