Yes folks, the threats were real, he really came to China - life as we know it will never be the same. Now, if someone pointed a camera at me after 30 hours of travelling I would make them eat it. I explained that this was in the interestes of science - and being the professional that he is EL endured with a smile. Here's the result... On the bus from the China border crossing in Shenzhen to Dongguan.  Being reminded that a soft mattress IS NOT a contract provision!  Profile picture for his China Love Links listing...  |

Welcome EL.
I want to practice my English on you.
Can you use chopsticks?
Do you love China?
How much money do you make?

He looks rather startlingly like the old-fashioned "portraits" of Jesus. Too bad this isn't a Christian country...

True. Most portraits I've seen depict Him in Ray-Bans.  |

So far everyone here thinks he is Jesus, an artist or an actor in a horror film... and most have been interested and welcoming. They all agree that he talks funny (not good standard English like Dave!).
He got bit by the baijiu monster last night - he should be surfacing sometime today.

shame on you Non-D, he looks like such an innocent lad in the photos and you've gone and introduced him to that nasty stuff, he'll likely never be the same again.

Two things. First it's BaiJIU, not BaiJU. (Pet peeve and all that.) Second, why do people insist that it's filthy? Taken the way it's meant (with meals) I find it quite palatable -- and better than Scotch by far. (Scotch turns my stomach with just the smell.) Now, for an encore, I shall write my religious texts for "Buddhislam" in which Allah meets the Buddha and gets enlightened. That might generate almost as many flames as this is bound to....  |

I won't challenge Buddhislam...but will definitely challenge the claim that baijiu isn't completely awful. I'll drink it socially; otherwise this is toxic waste. Pure and simple.

I can vouch for N-D here as he was really wonderful when I first came to China. EL is in good hands!
I was NOT paid to say this!

Just check out that sparkle hidden behind the glasses!  May be you can't see because of the light reflection... IT IS SO DAMN OBVIOUS!  |

The baijiu so far has been great! Sort of like a blended Scotch, only not so flavorful. Of course, I've only had the premium grade (way above my pay grade), not the lighter fluid that Raoul serves in used bottles.  The bed in the pic is the guest bed. Thought it would look better to show the case-hardened alloy mattress without coverings. Glad someone likes my curtains. I dug my pirate flag out of my luggage and put it up on one side of the Scottish flag. Now I need a Chinese flag to finish that window. I wonder if I can get one here?  You guys should have seen the expressions during English Corner when someone mentioned that I looked like Jesus - I took off my glasses and did a crucifixion pose for them. I held off on showing them the scar on my side. (Crippler thinks it's on the wrong side - I'll have him burned for heresy later.  ) |
