When the cage smashers come
Posted byI like the cages. They make handy places to put things out to dry. Buy fresh walnuts, put them out in a basket in the cage and they dry quick. Anywhere else, slow.

Yunnan drought update
Posted byCloud seeding is based on shaky science at best and claiming to have done it with (obvious) little result seems more like an attempt to get a couple of cheap points with the public. As to the ingenious Long-range-intelligent-fire-bla-bla-bla I am fairly certain that helicopters can do a much better, faster and safer job spreading fire repressing chemicals.

Posted byChris; No doubt, your new window view has had an affect on your writing creations (Actually, this story may have been conceived before the new view, but let's pretend otherwise).
Is it not possible to have a section of this Website specifically set up to permit easy searches to well-written travel stories. Yes, we have Lonely Planet, but there's also an important niche for stories like this.
I can't imagine that you'll not offer this story to every airline that flies into China, for example.
Fantastic pictures - can't wait to return.
One small critique; hotel descriptions would be nice.
