Off to the East

No, not a holiday in Maine. Juan-Antonio is going to a conference of shysters in Tokyo and I am tagging along. Afterwards we are taking a trip through Thailand, Vietnam and China, which we hope to enjoy before Beijing gets unbearably hot. I've been commissioned by a magazine on very generous terms to write a piece about modern China so with a bit of luck the whole trip will pay for itself.

No blogging for a couple of months. We recently dipped into a muddled and feeble website set up by a bunch of assorted fruitcakes whose incoherent ramblings on their own sites epitomise what is wrong with those of our countrymen who believe themselves to be patriots but who are in fact sad bigots whose sole creed is hatred. We are happy to leave this sort of nonsense behind for a while, though of course we know that, happily, such people are only a very tiny minority in our great country.
