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.

Leshan


The rivers - the Min River, the Qingyi River and the Dadu River - crash against the cliff. Against Buddha's giant feet. Buddha's unperturbed smile angers the Sea Dragon King even more. The rain lashes against the cliff. Against Buddha's smiling face.

We'll see who has the last laugh. How dare the people carve a giant statue of Buddha to placate the waters of the three rivers, each vying to bring the cliff down and earn the Sea Dragon King's favour. Nothing can withstand the power of water. Even rocks crumble into sand under the force of water. We'll see who laughs last.
