http://thecrazyinsect.blogspot.com/2007_02_01_archive.html
Caught by the light, trying to make some sense . Sunday, February 25, 2007. 8220;For nearly twelve years prior to the outbreak of World War II, I had been engaged upon the special project of studying and translating the religious texts of the Na-khi [or Naxi] tribe of northwest Yünnan. When it became impossible for me to stay in Likiang for economic reasons, I gathered my material and shipped it from Calcutta on the S.S. Richard Hovey. Rock also set out, in cooperation with the Dongba Shamans on the tran...

Caught by the light, trying to make some sense . Sunday, February 01, 2009. Innovative traffic solutions: mime . I have this friend who is from Bogota, so it should only be natural that when I see something about Bogota in the news, in a magazine or on the Internet, I linger a little longer. So last week, I was reading this article in Newsweek. Discussing the danger of Obama's "change"-program getting compromised from the start by the nomination of Timothy Geithner. Far more interesting however is what h...

Caught by the light, trying to make some sense . Saturday, July 21, 2007. As you may well notice, something went terribly wrong with the template of my blog here. I am trying to work it out, but in the meantime, I beg you to bear with me . or send me your welcome advice on how I can get that sidebar to be a . well, sidebar again, instead of a "bottombar". Links to this post. Friday, July 20, 2007. I think it's fair to say that, if you have any interest in nowadays China, even be it mildly, this guy.

motorbiketrip: Kashgar, China - 11,553 miles from London
http://motorbiketrip.blogspot.com/2006/10/kashgar-china-11553-miles-from-london.html
Tuesday, October 24, 2006. Kashgar, China - 11,553 miles from London. Tom's bike with a Chinese number plate complementing the Chinese driving licence and travel permit - both of which he also has to have in order to be able to drive in China and which are currently sitting in his wallet (not pictured). Tom plays a bit of pool in Kashgar's main square with his loyal fans rooting for him to sink the next ball. And sweep to victory. The strains of the Chinese customs are too much for Peter. The Opposite En...

This is about life around me in Beijing and dedicated to the people I love who keep me from Going Bananas, which admittedly, I often do. But not always in a bad way. :). Tuesday, September 27, 2005. Getting by with a little help from my friends :-). You would've thought that as an events planner, getting a big group of friends together is second nature to me. On the contrary, it is exac. Just one of the many reasons why we love you! It was only 11pm when we finished our very excellent dinner at Banana Le...

Rocket to China: A temple in my back yard
http://rocketshipx41.blogspot.com/2011/03/temple-in-my-back-yard.html
An American goes to China, tries not to be an idiot, tries to maintain contact with friends and family back home. A temple in my back yard. This post covers things I saw on 5 October, 2010. Several times each day, I would walk between my hotel and Line 4's Xisi Station. Eventually I noticed that over the construction fence there were some golden-tiled roofs, which usually indicate something interesting. So I walked around the corner and found the entrance to 广济寺 ( Guangjisi. Instead of Chinese characters.

Going out with a bang. I've always known that the Chinese loved their re nao. I wonder what is the reason behind this about-turn in regulation. Do firework manufacturers have a powerful political lobby? Is there a tax levied on the sale of fireworks which translates into revenue for the State? Unnecessary decib...

Ten things I did not know until I went to Cambodia. Oh Sacred Book of Angkor, give me strength to channel my inner Lara Croft and discover the secrets that lie within. 1 Cambodia operates on a dual-currency system usually favouring the US Dollar.
