Guten tag Blog-surfers!
Has it really been nine whole days since I updated? It seems like only yesterday...
I have returned from my visit to Shanghai to see the lovely Isabel, and it was surely the bestest weekend ever in China! We checked out the garden city of Suzhou, which was very nice. Here is a picture of me looking like the sirry-irriot I am:
On Saturday morning in Suzhou, the locals were shocked when at breakfast we ordered what we thought was a coffee, but turned out to be an 'Irish Coffee' - woah! (in a Bill and Ted stylee). So slightly worse for wear we stumbled around places such as the 'Garden of the master of the nets', and the 'Surging Wave Pavilion', although we didn't make it to the 'Mystery Shop of Holy Things'.
Upon returning to Shanghai, we had an afternoon in Zhongshan Park, where the spirit of John Travolta circa 1974 lives on in Chinese form:
You see it in parks all over China, people happily dancing away without a care in the world, with a disc jockey spinning the latest tunes from the hit parade for all the groovy cats.
All in all, a brilliant weekend, and now everyone can live my weekend too! The photos are on my 'King in Beijing - The album' website (see link on the right hand side'. If you like... there are lots of them though!
In other news, it's nearly Christmas and I'm still waiting for the postman to bring me that stack of cards and presents. Must be en-route...
Until next time, keep watching the skis,

Re: your photo's... I can't read "King in Beijing - the album" without hearing the words "is not available in the shops" in my head...
