Jay, that was probably the vast number of CDMA phragmented photons bending you around. NZ is full of them [about half the market]. Not to mention the shift in the Gravitational Constant due to the Q acceleration to 600. It's an inflationary universe and it's speeding up. The forces are fantastic.
Happy Monkey Year, [I suppose a monkey year is going to be as funny as a barrel of monkeys and as chaotic]. Mqurice
PS: A report from the front lines received today: <While in Xi'An we went to a club that was full of Chinese without a western presence (except us) - something I hadn't experienced here in Beijing. It was great to see them doing what seems to be done everywhere in the world... wasted on all sorts of substances, listening to techno Lionel Ritchie remixes (I kid you not!?!), throwing up in the toilet, passing out on the ground topless, asleep on tables, hot girls dancing seductively for their boyfriends, other jealous girlfriends whose boyfriends are checking out the hot girls dancing seductively, friends literally dragging their unconsious mates (who have thrown up in the toilets) home... all that was missing was a good fight at the end of the night! Perhaps the periodic military patrol discourages it?
The train down to Xi'An was an experience well worth having. I'm glad I had the chance to try the 'hard sleeper'. The Chinese can fit a LOT of people on a train here (I have NO idea how many, but there must have been 2 or 3 thousand on ours) and not uncomfortably! It took about 13 hours, we had a bed to sleep on (bunks 3 high), and the trip was smooth, cheap and surprisingly... well, almost luxurious! However, that 'adventurous' train ride was put in perspective by the one and a half our flight back to Beijing. Planes all the way I say!! 8-) >
It seems the global lowest common denominator is being resolved in all nooks and crannies of Earth in a cultural renaissance. Snoop Dog is alive and well deep in China's hinterlands it seems. |
