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.

Yu Garden


He thinks. Shanghai is such a polluted and dirty city. Despite the heavy downpour yesterday, it's still very hazy today. And it's not just because of the traffic, not that it's very congested. Rapid urbanization results in countless construction sites churning out tonnes of dust. It doesn't help either when its inhabitants do not understand the meaning of cleanliness and personal hygiene. Shanghai still has a long way to go.

He thinks. It's very easy to underestimate the impact Confucianism has on Chinese lifestyle. Visiting the Yu Garden, social hierarchy is so apparent in the seating arrangement of its halls.
