back again

The trip back was fairly uneventful. For future reference, the panda hotel is quite nice, pretty cheap, and near the trains, but pretty far from downtown. If you're going sightseeing, its cool, but not if you're going out a lot at night. I wasn't, so it was fine. Lot of pandas decorating that place.

Found a group of people I used to hang with in HK. So now I have a place to stay and people to visit. Yay!

Found a tatto place that promotes punk shows. Next month, I'll be experiencing Hong Kong ska and rockabilly. Should be interesting.

Not much new in Zhongshan. Bought an electric scooter, so I've been driving all over the place. its a lot of fun. The people in my area had been getting a little bored with the sight of me walking around I think. Me buying vegetables or things for my house was fascinating for a month or two, but it was getting a little old. They seem happy that now I'm driving around, as its something different to stare at. I aim to please.

I drove out to school today to time the trip (the bike is not that fast), and had to stop when the road was blocked by goats. I got a few pictures of them when they were chased off to the side of the store, which will be posted soon (I haven't turned the internet back on at my place yet, so I can't use my computer, so no pictures yet). I plan on saving them for a day I'm late, and using the old "goats were blocking the road. Hundreds of the things! I barely made it here alive" excuse.

All for now
