Stop Press!

Trying to finish Cyprus trip. Four new videos uploaded into previous posts.

After trotting around Southeast Asia over the summer, I'm now back in the UK - Cambridge to be exact. Am trying my best to update as frequently as my clinical course will allow.

Entries on Italy and France two winters ago have been put on hold indefinitely. Read: possibly never. But we shall see.

Entries on Greece and Turkey last winter have also been put on hold for the time being.

Site of the First National Congress of the Communist Party


'The founding of the Communist Party of China is the inevitable outcome of the development of China's modern history.'

How true. He is of the opinion that Communism was the only way forward for China back then. There was no other form of government suited to unite and control a country as large as China. Or even as diverse a culture or as rich a history as China.

Democracy would not have worked, not when the majority of China's population was the uneducated proletariat.

It was the only way. Even today, it is the only way. But change may come about in the future. May. It might not. But then we'd see the rise of a world superpower under Communist rule and that would be certainly be something.
