Something exciting is brewing at the Zhuhai – Macau border.
Indigenous ladies, in their 40s to 50s, are lugging trolley loads of boxed food items from Macau to Zhuhai China. Items such as Kellogg’s cornflakes, Red Bull and Quaker Oats are popular picks. It looks as if they had just raided a convenience store in Macau and are making their way back to the mainland.

Weixin Middle School’s 60th Anniversary
An English speech contest was held in Weixin (ZhaoTong District), Yunnan Province, China on June 15th. Under mostly cloudy skies, the best speakers from 2 levels of the local Middle School and 3 levels from the High School announced their “Love of our Mother School, aspiration for being outstanding”. Seven judges (of which the author was one) sat in the front row of the renovated playground behind Weixin #1 High School. Many students, faculty members and parents were on hand to watch these young Chinese students present a public speech in the open air, using only the english language.

Royal and Prophetic Celebration
After ten minutes, the fireworks are obscured behind the thick pall of smoke they have created. The echos reverberating off the buildings make it difficult to determine just where the fireworks actually are. I hang out the window in the stairwell to get a better view but before long I can only see the ground works. Traffic is backing up on the street below as more and more people try to get close to the action. The city is celebrating yet again with fireworks displays at several strategic locations, this one almost on my backdoor.
