on way home

After work I cycled off with 3 plants in my bike basket and in plastic bags over the handlebars to take them to a friend to look after while I am gone for the next 2 and a half weeks -working and vacationing in both London and Paris as well as to other parts of the UK to get everything done. It's just the right time to leave China as the New Year holiday is upon us, starting this weekend. Lots of people already started their vacation since last weekend, and the roads are already noticeably emptier. The fireworks stalls are now set-up on most major street corners and outside supermarkets; some people have even started letting them off, although its illegal before (and after) the holiday officially starts.
 
Happy New Year to everyone -and I'm looking forward to seeing many of you in the next couple of weeks. It seems i got lucky with my flight, leaving on the 28th feb with the next BA strike likely to start the day after!
