Return Time !
J's lovely lass has arrived safely in Suzhou from the village.
Guess J won't be on bread and water any more.
She took the digital camera back to the village.
There were fights... as to would be next on the device.
Gotta watch these Anhui folks. They'd rather punch - than discuss the matter.
So nice to have a double set of Anhuilettes,on the couch.
Freshly showered, remove bus debris. Wash hair and dry it.
J. will take special care to avoid annoying the Anhui folks.
They have just come from Anhui so they might be a little jumpy.
J doesn't fashion a black eye from a 25 year old.
Don't p*ss them off.
Jamieson.

Dear Sir,
I thank you for your gifts, across the world. Also Gifts to Jamieson's Luck.
Suzhou is a huge city, yet so small.
I often meet people that I barely know, all the time.
Maybe I have met YOU ?
4 Days to go until I'm out of China.
When I come back, maybe we could have a coffee together at Starbuck, my treat. Yeah I know plurals, that's my job.
My sweet honey and her delightful sister are currently on the bus back to the 'Zhou. As I type.
I hope they did their duty, I presume they confessed about the Laowai aroma in the hut.
I'm so relieved,having the MUM on the winning team is 98% persuasion factor.
Just got to win the Dad over. She'll hector him non-stop. Saves me a trip to Anhui.
I don't want a family fight.
Isn't harmony the bit and parcel of life in China now ?
Didn't the C*C get excited about the ideal of Harmony, last session ?
Must confess, a Laowai "On the wrong side of 40" marrying a daughter in her late 20s
would increase the arousal level of the father. He's a year younger than me !"
No wonder he's on the opposing team.
If we were lucky enough to choose the people we would fall in love with.....
Then life would be rather boring, don't you think ?
Yes, Sir. I fully account for all expenses. Everything. I look after her. Look after Mei2 too.
"Just because you pay for everything, that doesn't give you the
right to ravish my daughter !"
I'm not here to buy a wife. Or damage a Citizen.
"You destroyed her"
"Oh, come on, we have been together for more than 3 years".
"Gasp"
"Three Years ?".
"Yes Sir" I have cherished her as your own for more than 3 years.
Looked after Mei2 too.I don't mind.
We're in for a struggle.
Jamieson.
Lot of "Sirs" happening here.
Four days, count them on your fingers. OOps, no thumb.
Tomorrow is 3 days.
J will be very agressive to get on board.

Just another aimless post. Oh, this is private !
I'm going to share something private with you today.
Got a little case of a mild skin disorder. Thing is, it's getting worse.
Went to see the Professor at the wonderful Hong Kong Hospital,
Department of Dermatology and Veneralogy.
I DO NOT have HIV. It's been proven,several times in order to get a work visa. Nor do I have syphilis or any catchy syndrome.
HIV: Psoriasis typically worsens after an individual has been infected with HIV. However, psoriasis often becomes less active in advanced HIV infection.
Drugs: A number of medications have been shown to aggravate psoriasis. Some examples are as follows:
Lithium Drug that may be used to treat depression
Beta-blockers Drugs that may be used to treat high blood pressure
Antimalarials Drugs used to treat malaria
NSAIDs Drugs, such as ibuprofen (Motrin and Advil) or naproxen (Aleve), used to reduce inflammation.
Emotional stress: Many people see an increase in their psoriasis when emotional stress is increased.
Smoking: Cigarette smokers have an increased risk of chronic plaque psoriasis.
Alcohol: Alcohol is considered a risk factor for psoriasis, particularly in young to middle-aged males.
**********************************
There you go. Many reasons.
J. takes Beta-blockers on a daily basis, slow down the ticker.
Smokes like a chimney.
Drinks like a fish...... particularly in young to middle-aged males.
Ibuprofen ? Rarely. Of course I have it.
Emotional stress: Off the scale. Massive. Yeah, you want to see stress ?
Look at those bags under J's eyes ! I'd love some Lithium.
Living, Working in China presents you with a whole NEW world.
Cope with it, or FLY BACK.
Stop whining. Do the dishes.
Shut up, be a MAN !
Thank you for visiting Jamieson's Luck.
Sshh, I'll be back, before I leave.
J.

Bang Bang
I sincerely beg you to remind me NOT to be in China next Chinese New Year.
The noise is simply unbearable.
Tried to have a nice nap this afternoon, forget it mate.
Sleep at the respectable time of 11.30 p.m. is totally out of the question.
Whilst we are amplifying the admirable tradition of 'letting off crackers' at Chinese New Year there are some who prefer the SILENCE OF THE NIGHT, ie: Me.
Of course, I could swallow some sleeping medication and install earplugs, but believe me, it would not be enough.
Pets are really stressed at this time of the year, especially dogs.
Lucky it happens just once a year, but when it happens, Watch out.
Assailed by anonymous LOUD gunpowder operated devices.
Not many car alarms going off, either.
Oh, gosh, look out the window and there's Ruprecht lighting some fuse and scuttling away.
Oh, I get the hint.....
It's Chinese New Year.
Keep that window closed, it's cold and I don't want to manage burning curtains. They aren't mine.
Jamieson. (Watch out.....BANG)

Ox- Tail and yeah, we got power!
I'm sitting alone In China. I miss you Kim.
Of course I miss you.
The doctor is eager to come over for some Vodka and tomato Juice, with a hint of Tabasco and salt. Yet the Ox-tail awaits.
Mop the floor.
In one day.
I Miss you.
Don't worry.
J. will be sorry enough for you. Would be enough for you.
That's for you, Kim and W***.
Enough, 3 women, more. where can I hide?
J.
Do I want to hide?
J. wants to bug out of his bunker. Confesss to dozens of women.
This blog is not for under 18s.

Powerless, No Electricity, Just found the Coors CD. Powered up.
W**fr*d, do you remember when we danced so slowly to the music from the Coors?
Do you remember how you held me, we were so gentle with each other ?
I remember.
Brown Street, East Perth. Next to the Chinese Consulate. How Ironic ?
J is now in CHINA. 2007, Now.... I only know where I live.
I have keys and a smart card to open the door.
I was heading to the bank today and I bumped into the father of a kid I'd agreed to tutor when I come back to China.
Luckily, he took charge. Waltz down to the bank.
Bank guy says "there's hundreds in the account. What's the problem ?"
Father whips out his Mobile Phone, calls the Power company.
"Yes sir, please check the main circuit breaker on the ground floor."
Groan. If I knew, I would never have bothered you, at all. J.
That's a mere flick of a power switch. Yet the Laowai, the Radar Technician, the spy - cannot get the lights happening. T.I.C This is China.
Where do I Live ? I'm a long, long way from East Perth.
Hopeless. Jamieson. I'll be in Sydney, Melbourne, Hobart before the week is out. Well less than 2 weeks.
Good night and good luck.
You can't believe how much I want to come back to China, Australia is 22% smaller than China yet we must go back.
I can be in control there, in Australia.
Australia.
I'm just waiting for a kiss, Can't fight it. Waiting for my Honey & her Mei-Mei. Don't worry, you'll you get more of the luck, the slightest touch will leave you breathless.
J.
P.S. I will leave soon, and I will return. If I didn't plan to come back, why did I pay for return ticket?l
More Laowai noise for the neighbours.
More Bang Bang soon from the neighbours. Ahhh, s**t.
J.
Pudong Airport (Shanghai) is good.
Hello Qantas, Boarding pass please.
Bye bye China.
J will return.
Return for more of the Luck.

Oh, so help me G*d!
Isn't that just f**king great ? Kicking back last night, watching a DVD, enjoying a nice cup of Holiday cheer, then suddenly *blat* Blackout. F***. Grab the phone as a torch, check the roadside lights outside. No problem. Solid illumination. Major eye rolling situation happening here in the hut. OK, involuntary sleep time. Don't open the fridge.
This morning, Phone is dead. Toddle down to the Guard hut.. Please tell me in simple Chinese how I can get the power back on ? "Easy, go to a Bank and pay there." "Thanks, Happy New Year !" "Happy New Year" Go to the 3 nearby banks. As closed as a spooked clam. "I have money, I can pay !!! " (Shouts Jamieson, well not actually shouting, just thinking....). Ahhh, F**k. Tomorrow is a good day to get power happening. Had a quick chat with a large American lady on the way (She has this tiny rabies-free white mutt on a leash). "When I was in Spain, the banks were open, even on Christmas Day" Yeah baby, but this ain't Madrid. So, I grab Yuki's access card and mosey down to her office, a mere 600 metres from the new hut. Plug in the phone charger and get some juice into the toy, so that I am not completely useless. Sure, can call out and receive phone calls on the home phone(s), but without a mobile holding all the phone numbers ahhhh, duhhhh. D'oh ! Today wasn't a COMPLETE FAILURE. Secured a tutoring gig, a streetside chat with a Suzhou guy, his lovely wife and a tottering 3 year old boy. 2 x 20 minute sessions a week when I get back from 'roo-ville. Late May thank you very much. Pocket money - better than lounging, drinking and smoking, playing on the Internet, doing the classic Jamieson. ZZZ and XXX are in the village. J is in the city. I remember the Anhui Grandma cooking New Year food (2004) in a huge wok with a fag hanging from her lips, occasional ash falling into the meal..... "She'll be right, just stir it in, it enhances the flavour" Salt of the Earth. I have been overwhelmed with gifts from ZZZ lately. Boss Gentleman's fragrance (90 cc), 2 cartons of Marlboro cigarettes, a new Nokia Mobile Phone with Camera, A Sony Digital Camera, a bottle of Chivas Regal, a pair of 450 kuai shoes - and a partridge in a pear tree. Of course I had to resort to the Internet to get a .pdf from Nokia to tell me how to use the phone....The manual is - naturally - all in Chinese. That's OK. What's going on ? Maybe I'm doing something right ? J gets a lot of praise for limiting his enjoyment of the J. Juice.
Only 125 people injured by fireworks, 1 dead so far during Chinese New Year festivities. Lovely gifts, but I'd frankly prefer some power at home. J squatting in the gloom. Dinner with Doctor Doug tonight. That will be good. All yours.
J.
