Maxwell - Peter Bower

I'm 31 years old and am presently living in Yangzhou, China as an English teacher. I like writing music, working out at the gym and reading. I'd like to share my experiences here in China with you.

Just read the comments left from blog 2... thanks. I had not realised that they were there. Let's answer the comments one by one shall we? 1. The gospel of Jay-Z... God, I'm not sure exactly what you mean, but I'm sure it's all good. ;-) 2. Trips, soma?? Listen, I'm ignorant of these things, Dave, I swear!! :-P 3. Appreciate your condolences re: Whitey the fish. Kelly, the blog shall go on until the tree no longer wishes to bear fruit. 4. Being keen to observe makes me a keen observer, Angel. 5. Chelbee, more Gizmo pictures coming right up.

Gizmo
A Street

Oh come now, Peter... you purposely put those three 6s together just to create a shock value 666 didn you? Well, sort of... it kind of just came out... and no, I don usually cheer on the Devil either... nor am I here to offend Christians... or anyone else for that matter... but in the game of "being yourself" you are bound to offend people and you might as well have a laugh. Gizmo must like the Fame... you see... he does things in order to rate a mention in the travelblog... for instance his gimick this evening just then was [View Full Entry]

Musical Reform Package Asia » China » Jiangsu » Yangzhou
Deregulate the orchestra There's been too much protection A synthesizer does the job Sack the woodwind section! Restructure the 'Moonlight Sonata' It's too soft! Go on, be bold!

Ashes to ashes Asia » China » Jiangsu » Yangzhou
Right, Listening to "Oi Oi Oi" by The Exploited (or it could be an album title)... not sure... it has some attitude... a time back in Oz when playing for a nasty little punk band called UnemplOi!able... these guys were each punks in their own right, but the lead singer actually really lived it. Oh course there is a bad ass in us all. If you were just all fluff and sunshine then you'd get eaten... or at least, if this was the case, you'd do well to live in cohorts with something or someone much more dangerous and intimidating. But [View Full Entry]

Strange days. When you're in the middle of a class and it suddenly dawns on you that you're a side-show freak acting out a list of adverbs beginning with 's'... but it's not so bad... ;-) the temptation to self-edit sometimes needs to be laid aside in order to effect 'flow'. Now I'm doing this on a weekly basis...

But let's not get started on religion, this is [View Full Entry]

RIP Whitey

The Opener Asia » China » Jiangsu » Yangzhou
Readers, After due prompting I've elected to give this Travelblog thing a go. Why? Well, I guess I'm seeing enough that is new and peculiar on almost a daily basis here that it could merit notation. Presently listening to "Come Together" by The Beatles. It's a number that I played every weekend (basically) for 2 and a 1/2 years with a rockband, Grand Theft Audio, back in my home state of NSW, Australia. It's got quite a tricky little bass riff in her which made for a little more fun on the otherwise fairly plodding and straight-forward lines required on the [View Full Entry]
