back, back, BACK!
I’m back. Suffering with a cold, jet lagged and swamped by emails, but pleased to be home nonetheless.
Until I get my act together to write something, I’ll get the holiday mood out of my system by sharing a couple of snaps.
Temple of Heaven, Beijing
Sign in Beihai Park, Beijing. Further translation welcome.
Falls Creek in the Victorian ‘Alpines’. More Scotland than Alpine I think.
Public amenities in Australia.

I know what you mean about China ISBW. The country combines those rare qualities of being both fascinating and scary. It really is a completely different culture and way of thinking, and the impact of the one-party state is a perfect example of this - both ruthless efficiency and beaurocracy like nothing else!
We were lucky enough to have friends there (one who works as a journalist too) so were able to get quite an interesting insight into the country which would have otherwise passed us by. As a result I feel even more confused about the place…
