Woyanos , hi , I have now completed by relocation to Shanghai , the poeple are great , food fresh and tasty without chemicals and a plethera of wierd shaped fruit that looks like it was beamed down by Scotty in error. I may post a few pics of the wonder fruits and see if any of you can name them ( in an

 I have still not resolved the- get your visa and avoid deportation - issue , but it is in hand and hopefully completed soon. Nothing like being prepared eh?

I have been travelling to China for the past 17 years , about 5 times per year and the changes are stark both from the way the new generation view family and ancestor worship,preferring Prada and flat ownership worship, to the skyline , pollution and incredible number of deaths on the roads. Can you guess how many people each year die on the raods ?.... in excess of 100,000 DEATHS per year.

    Hey Babylon! Good to hear from you and thanks for letting us "Woyanos" know how you're getting on. I want to see some funky Chinese fruit! Why all the road deaths? Take care and keep us posted!

      HI georgie.
      I think the deaths are really as a result of the Chinese being new to mass cars on the road. many prefer to ride bicycles and play chicken with the cars , whilst the new drivers really do not have the experience needed to drive safely on these increasingly congested roads.

      Hey Babylon - Shanghai sounds very exotic. 100,000 deaths on the road - sounds horrendous. Mind you, Italy has 5,000 and I figure on a per head of capita basis that's the same rate. Not sure if my maths is right.
