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.

Qufu II


He tries to catch a Confucian performance but is too late. Instead, he joins a group of elderly ladies doing small hand exercises across the road while their grandchildren run around distractingly.

People walk the streets at night. Mill about the city moat. He could just be seeing what he wants to see but the family unit seems stronger here. Everywhere, three generations can be seen together: grandparents, parents and children. It's a comforting sight.

He stumbles upon a market selling pretty much the same thing as stalls do during the day along the eastern wall of the temple. There are some food stalls too but disinterested, he heads back to the hostel. There, he spends the rest of the night chatting with the staff.
