John Fitzpatrick. About New China, the Koreas, Myanmar, Thailand, and also about Japanese and Chinese writers and poets. The main emphasis is on North Asia and the political tectonics of this very important, powerful, and many-peopled area.

Melbourne is changing. House across the road, 4 bed, 2 bathroom, 20 years old, cream double brick, 2 garages.big. Nice looking house. This morning, they tore it down to make way for a bigger 2 storey mansion type house. Like the house we live in, there was nothing wrong with the house they tore down. Remember when people used to buy house to live in? This is an old expensive established area with some brilliant houses more like citadels built 1920s etc They seem to stay, but anything from the 60s...I guess they weren't great design years, they seem to just be bulldozed. The unfortunate thing is that the new mansions that replace them take up so much space there's no room for gardens and yards etc. Still, as Mr Dylan noted sometime back..."Hey the Vice President's gone mad..where? Downtown, when, last night...Well, that's too bad...nothing I can do about it, just something else I'll have to forget...then I went and checked the line to see if the clothes were still wet."
