What was that?

last Friday, Zhongshan had a small earthquake. Something like a 3.5 I hear. I missed it, being in Guangzhou for a softball game. A native told me that this was the first time he knew of an earthquake here, then another gwailo told me there was another small one 6 years ago. No damage noted anywhere.

The trip to Guangzhou was odd. Because of the Asian Games, the city banned half of the cars (even license plates one day, odd the next), planted flowers and trees everywhere, and has done a lot to make the place cleaner and less of an eyesore. It seemed almost livable. I mentioned this to someone visiting ZS from GZ, who assured me that locals don't expect that to last. Still, a clean and pleasant GZ seems unnatural

Growing a moustache to raise money to help fight cancer or some such thing. What do I know? Someone told me if I grew a moustache, the world would be better and I'd be slightly shaggier.
