Suzie Wong's Shanghai Tang Night

The World of Suzie Wong is a club in Beijing. After a little Scottish dancing at Harrow School with George Long, the HKRSA crew remnants moved in the direction of Suzie Wong's for a few beers. I used my camera to capture some elements of the Suzie Wong nightscape...

My Shadow followed me to the Chinese State Guest House in Beijing

I woke up in the Chinese State Guest House in Beijing last weekend and found these shadows on the wall of my room.

Will Charlene take up the ASEAN challenge and move to Singapore when FTSE needs to devote more resource to our partnerships with SGX, BM and SET?

On the way back from Jim Morrison's grave...
