Living and Writing in China
The Chinese New Year fireworks go on, but the main event is winding down now, and people will be returning to work on Monday, including myself. 
Anyway, on the night of New Years Eve, Chinese TV always shows a huge show that’s watched across the nation. I don’t bother usually, it’s all the same old same old, but apparently this year they had dancing robots!
Well, it’s that time of year again. The time when I don’t get any sleep because of the stupid fireworks going off 23 hours a day outside my window.
We try and get out of China at this time of year, it’s usually so loud, but this year we’re a bit broke, so couldn’t manage it. Hey ho.
Anyway, here’s wishing everyone a happy Chinese new year. It’s the year of the Dragon this time, which is supposed to be a good one. Last year wasn’t the greatest for me, not the worst mind, just lots of small annoyances.
Here’s hoping for a better one!

I thought it was time to refresh the look of this blog a bit, so I’m trying out a new theme.
Please bear with me, as it’s proving a bit tricky to get the spacing and so forth all setup in a fashion that’s acceptable. Please leave a comment if the main area is all squashed or something else is not looking right! I have a really wide monitor, and sometimes what looks okay on mine, looks horrible on a smaller resolution!
Many, many many years ago, when I was at school, I drew a comic strip called ‘Egg-man’, a superhero. He rode around in an egg shaped vehicle with all the usual super hero features.
So when I saw this driving around Beijing I thought it was awesome:

I’ve seen this being driven around before (or one similar), but never managed to get a snap of it, as I was always riding my own bike, or it went past too quickly. Anyway, this time it was parked and I was walking, so bagged the blighter.
