An Australian in Jinan: What shop is that?
http://ozinjinan.blogspot.com/2008/06/shopfronts.html
An Australian in Jinan. The peripatetic ramblings of a peripathetic rambler. Friday, June 6, 2008. What shop is that? How difficult is it to exist in China without understanding Chinese? Earlier I promised to post a range of photos showing shop fronts. I defy anyone who has no Chinese to identify these shops. Hint: most of them are restaurants and liquor/gift stores. And one is a foot massage shop - look for the feet! Hope you are having a great time. It's good to see there are other Aussies in Jinan!

An Australian in Jinan. The peripatetic ramblings of a peripathetic rambler. Wednesday, May 28, 2008. Tuesday, May 27, 2008. My favourite student Roy presents a gift of plaques of a dragon and a phoenix; the mandatory class photos; and a banquet with the University officials. Monday, May 26, 2008. Soundscape on a Sunday morning. A father practises badminton with his six year old son. A dozen elderly people doing Tai Chi. Murmur, shuffle, murmur. A women walks past, backwards. Sound of pee on pavement.

ozin78: Bangkok, Calcutta, Madras, Ramesvaram
http://ozin78.blogspot.com/2009/09/bangkok-calcutta-madras-ramesvaram.html
An account of David's travels to the sub-continent in 1978. Bangkok, Calcutta, Madras, Ramesvaram. Just before leaving Bangkok. It turned into an epicurean feast with superb spring rolls, stuffed chillies, chunks of beef in oyster sauce, etc, finished with pineapple, pawpaw, rambutans, melon and durian. But people in this part of the world have a penchant for adding salt to their fruit. The meal cost me about five times my budget (about $6) but the treat was certainly was worth it. The air, the famed gol...

An Australian in Jinan: Getting things into perspective
http://ozinjinan.blogspot.com/2008/05/getting-things-into-perspective.html
An Australian in Jinan. The peripatetic ramblings of a peripathetic rambler. Sunday, May 25, 2008. Getting things into perspective. My previous post on being miserable in a dumpling restaurant reeks with maudlinness. Let's put things into perspective. At least I am not one of the 62,664. People who died in the Sichuan earthquake two weeks ago. Or of the 350,000. Or of the 23,775. Who are missing, believed dead. Or of the 45 million. Who have been adversely affected. What is noteworthy is the apparent ope...

An Australian in Jinan. The peripatetic ramblings of a peripathetic rambler. Monday, April 28, 2008. Train crash 70km from Jinan. There was a terrible train crash nearby Jinan early this morning. Seems that 70 are dead and about 410 injured. Here is a link, with pictures. The benefit of having a deformity. Please go somewhere else to die =. To my Chinese readers:. Please do not take offence. Chinglish celebrates just how difficult Chinese is to translate to English. Three images from. Kids are laughing,.

An Australian in Jinan. The peripatetic ramblings of a peripathetic rambler. Monday, March 31, 2008. University - video views. To give you an idea of the size of the university, here is a short video, most of it taken from the shuttle bus window. Waiting in vain for the heating fairy. There must be a little fairy somewhere, finger poised over the "On" button for the central heating. She must be otherwise engaged. Probably mucking about with an elf. And it does gets cold! I'm told the air conditioner in m...
