    Anyway, to answer your question...I haven't the faintest idea.

    Unfortunately my Cantonese is limited to construction worker cursing of the worst possible kind.

    Still, at least I know what they're calling me in the takeaway.
    That's ok, Graham ... the questions had really been addressed to Tawi - based on his apparent knowledge of Southern China - but I guess he's somehow overlooked my post in the course of his enthusiastic reminiscences.

    Sometimes you're flush and sometimes you're bust, and when you're up, it's never as good as it seems, and when you're down, you never think you'll be up again. But life goes on.
    The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair. The beauty of a woman is seen in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides. True beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. It's the passion that she shows to the outside world.
