There are still some bits of In the Mood for Love that I'm a little confused about but I'll see what I can do.<BR/><BR/>I'll keep including physics bits and bobs when they I fancy baffling/intriguing people but quite understand anyone who wants to skip said paragraphs.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11667852535983804885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16693931.post-1135776496983697392005-12-28T14:28:00.000+01:002005-12-28T14:28:00.000+01:00JonHave you seen 2046 yet?

If/when you do see it, could you post a resume so that I can pretend to people that yes, I have seen it, and yes, I do understand it. Perfectly... <BR/><BR/>Anyway, all the best to you. I feel like I should be paying a subscription fee, your chat is genuinely interesting (apart from the Physics in italics bit!!)<BR/><BR/>Happy Chrimbo<BR/><BR/>TimAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16693931.post-1135747972038474592005-12-28T06:32:00.000+01:002005-12-28T06:32:00.000+01:00SC - I wait with baited breath for whatever disgra...SC - I wait with baited breath for whatever disgraceful gift you and the boy Cherry have sent in the knowledge that your last present was highly highly illegal!<BR/><BR/>Michelle - a very merry Christmas to you too. I can only put the good picture down to fine camera work.<BR/><BR/>Luca - China is in a strange state of transition at the moment. The younger generations are beginning to embrace Christmas (in it's commercial guise) while the older generations don't like it at all (to a large extent). There are decorations everywhere, piped Christmas carols everywhere and people in most restaurants are dressed in Christmas costumes but come Christmas day, it's just business as usual. Certainly no Turkey and all the trimmings though that may be down to bird flu!<BR/><BR/>Most of the new buildings coming up in Beijing seem to be going up as fast as possible thought there are many interesting designs around. I think it's mainly because it is a government building (essentially) and of course because they're trying to impress come 2008 that this one is particularly outstanding. Already much of Beijing looks like any other densely populated city with skyscrapers as far as the eye can see. I hope that the government does have the foresight to begin more of these daring projects.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11667852535983804885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16693931.post-1135692507204848952005-12-27T15:08:00.000+01:002005-12-27T15:08:00.000+01:00Merry Christmas ...I've always wondered what would...Merry Christmas ...<BR/><BR/>I've always wondered what would be a holiday, so celebrated (almost) everywhere in the western world, in the far east.<BR/><BR/>Btw the building looks terrific ... are many new modern and with daring design buildings in Bejing?Lucahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07493787495591870529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16693931.post-1135633181350618842005-12-26T22:39:00.000+01:002005-12-26T22:39:00.000+01:00Merry Christmas Jon!

Sorry your little gifts from the boy Cherry and myself didn't arrive in time, but they should be with you soon(ish). I raise my glass of champagne and transmit to you wirelessly the season's greetings! Sounds like you're having some awesome times there already - can't wait to jet on over and see for myself. Merry Christmas!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
