Stay safe in your trip via Hong Kong Rhonald.

I am watching the live pictures from there now where hundreds of police are moving in on the protesters who have blocked off part of Hong Kong Central for past two months.

In shenzhen now and noticed A subdued quiet during my trip to the border Monday night. Should be your neck of the woods this coming Monday for two nights. I hope to survive the hells angel initiation rituals

Things are quieting down a bit in Hong Kong now.

If you want to ride my trike I need to see some tattoo's and a cut off demin jacket.

We picked up Rhonald and his wife yesterday and my wife never let me down with her driving skills!!! :-[

The first thing she did was to turn out of forecourt and then immediately was turning left against the flow of traffic in a one way street.  Having missed the oncoming buses and ignoring my shouting we eventually set off in the correct direction.

We then swiftly came to a crossroads controlled by traffic lights where we needed to turn right. A couple of vehicles were waiting at the red light. But true to Chinese driving 'rules' she immediately turn right and drove across the sidewalk, across a patch of scrubland and the across the other sidewalk and then carried on ahead of the vehicles that had been more patience at the lights.

At the next cross road she stopped in the left turn only lane, the lights changed to green and she went straight ahead causing the bus and vehicles behind to brake sharply as she moved over and took their place in their lane.

At that point I closed my eyes for the rest of the short journey and hope that either Rhonald or Cindy would not jump out of the car whilst travelling along.

I will say this that despite my shouting and ranting she has not actually hit anything or more importantly anyone for a full year now but my hair is certainly getting greyer every journey. :'(

Rhonald:
It was a good visit with you Willy, and yes your wife has some skills in driving you crazy. Hopefully her good fortune continues to steer clear.

For me, I am tied to my hotel room suffering from back spasms, so my wife has had to venture forth on her own. Luckily she can speak the language. For me its been watching HBO movies and trying to read the box on the Chinese medicine.
