Shi Ma -- "When
an old man falls from his horse, you never know what will become of
that..." Old Chinese saying goes.
Sorry to know that thieves broke in your house and stole your valuable computer with all your information stored in it. Hope it never stops your efforts to progress.
For all traveling around Spring festival in China, please be aware that your valuable may be at higher risk of being stolen.
Wish you a prosperous New Year!

as Sub-Tropical), nearly, with the temperatures dropping to record lows

away

Death in Yangshuo
-- the below reply name is withheld as Yangshuo being directly under
the control of Guilin (GL), this is a very sensitive issue with the
GL authorities - anything concerning foreigners is a sensitive matter
for GL and for that matter for China as a whole. So any News that is
deemed not suitable for the public is squashed by the authorities
