Please sponsor my 5k swim coming up in April and help support Marie Curie Cancer Care, an organisation which provides home nursing care to people with terminal illnesses.

Every time I leave Longhu to head into the city of Zhengzhou, there’s an element of risk I did not expect before I arrived here. Cars, buses, and various smaller vehicles swerve within inches of each other with only the slow speed necessitated by the disordered crush of traffic providing any sense of safety.

Today, however, was extraordinary. Trucks with their usual insecure loads of bricks, cardboard, and pigs clogged the freeway with buses and taxis trapped between them. On the way into Zhengzhou, the bus driver had to get out with several passengers and move a concrete barrier in order to proceed along the other side of the road. On the way back, he took the tollway, which thanks to the cost, was virtually empty.
