I had my first winter vacation while working in Macau in the late December of 2023 and decided to go to Yunnan. During my first trip to China in the spring of 1986 I had a plan to visit Kunming but in those days, it was so difficult and slow to purchase train tickets that I had to abandon the plan. ...

Merry Christmas to everyone.

In Finland it is common to have a pre-Christmas party in work places so we had one here as well. We went to a place called Sky 21.

I remembered that there was a big Buddha Statue in Nara park. Maybe I just can't remember correctly. I was there in the spring of 1988.

Congrats to the winner and thanks for the two Petes for organizing this.

What causes the black sand.

The dark colour comes from the minerals in the water which is lighter than other volcanic beaches like those in Hawaii.

Friday was a school picnic day and we visited the Panda Park, almost just opposite the school. Plenty of other schools there as well, looks like it was a general school picnic day in Macau.

I think, in many American sports they have this very sensible thing called salary cap. This would be a very good thing in football as well and would solve many problems and also lower the ticket prices.

Seen elsewhere, don't know if this is true but, there's something in it. Much more serious than the Everton case. Details of the Premier League Rules that Man City is alleged to have breached are as follows: 1. In respect of each of Seasons 2009/10 to 2017/18 inclusive, the Premier League Rules appl...
