Seems like Theirry Henry is Barca-bound, and there’s even talk of Wenger leaving for Real Madrid. Henry would be a heavy loss, but Wenger going would signal the end of Arsenal as the most beautiful team to watch in world football.
In other news, we’re off to Hong Kong this evening. Anybody know of anywhere in [...]

I woke up in the bathtub of my hotel room this morning with litlle recollection of how I got there. I remember drawing the bath, the rest is all a little Alberto Gonzales. Apparently I was singing a lot and falling around the streets, but in a merry, non-offensive way. Shane and Huan, our tour [...]

We walked the Great Wall two days ago; [...]

The time here is seven hours ahead of Irish time, and it’s nearly 4pm here, so good morning. I’ve seen more of Beijing today, it seems we (Eoin, Anthony & Shane) were in the outskirts of the capital yesterday. We wandered around Tienemen Square for a bit. It’s enormous, and flanked by state monuments on [...]

Almost missed the flight from Heathrow; we were waiting at the wrong terminal. Beijing is huge and confusing; all big roads and empty shopping malls. Moar will be posted when something actually happens.
Oh yeah, it’s really hot here too.
And Gmail doesn’t work. Boo-hiss.
