Just to inform you that whilst George is in China he can't update his Blogger account due to internet restrictions. However a cunning workaround is in place, so you can continue to follow him in the notes section of the main website (http://www.georgeszirtes.co.uk/index.php?page=notes).
Normal service will resume here in around 2 weeks time.
Thanks
Tom

Be interested in air quality issues. Here in Vienna we have exceed our muck in the air allowance 60 times so far this year. Sometimes it gets 3 times over the limit.
Just been reading in the local newspaper for the homeless about the plastic bottle recycling effort in Peking. The recyclers go around on 3-wheel bicycles collecting the empties and they take them to a couple of places just outside the city where they are shredded. They get paid the handsome amount of 1 euro equivalent per 1,000 bottles. During the Olympics they were banned from the city. I think my new sweatshirt is made from some of this plastic.
Belated happy Birthday - glad you got to spend it in the best preWar Auden fashion, and like GW, eager to hear your write-up.
