Dec 13, 2005 - Weekend trip to Luoding

On Saturday 10th December, I set out on a bus, to visit Luoding, which is about 2 and a half hours by bus, from Zhaoqing. ... I was going to visit Doug McClure, who is teaching at a privately owned school on the outskirts of Luoding. ... No, they just wait for the smallest gap, to nose the vehicle into, and then push their way in, or get pushed in on, and where there would be three lanes, it becomes more like five or six!! Aussie drivers would have an awful time of it! Eventually arrived at Luoding at about 3. ... Luoding is a much smaller city than Zhaoqing, and a lot less affluent, judging by the dress of the local populatiion, and the standard of cleanliness in the streets. ... Most come from homes within the city of Luoding, but still they live at the school, during the school week. ...
