The Turtle House

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.

Getting ready with popcorn to watch the Hillary Trump National Geographic Wild Life Drama Movie on Fox. I think David Attenborough should commentate/ "Now, you can see their tails...and teeth...later on there will, of course, come the mating ritual so please make good use of the Parental Controls on your television. We will have on-line Trauma Counsellors."

I must admit I am looking forward to the Presidential Debate today although I have trouble sometimes working out which one is Brad and which one is Angelina.

I am very fond of Venetia's videos about her life in Japan. Her home is just lovely and deeply calm. Her gardening is of such a high order of accomplishment. She shows that you can be in, or go to, a place, establish your home, of whatever shape or form, weather all the changes of life, and become something of a Constant Truth in a brief human life span. Great Respect for this great achievement of 'Being'.

The Bankruptcy of South Korea's biggest sea transport company HANJIN (includes Korean Air) leaves 62 super cargo ships anchored around the world with no money to unload their cargoes.

About Me

My photo
JOHN Fitzpatrick
乌龟。 议院。 The Blog is sometimes serious, other times attempts are made at Humour.谢谢你,中国!我爱中国! I'm interested in North Asia-China, Japan and Korea, and Siberia; and also SE Asia, particularly Bangkok where we sometimes live when not in North Eastern China or North Eastern Australia. My wife and I do tend to commute a lot. Politically, if that matters, I'm usually on the side of strong central socialism in one form or another whenever it is based on astute Confucian principles and enables a free firing capitalist market system with intelligent and very strong controls. I am a published Australian writer, poems, non-fiction, and fiction. Fiction was book for young people Called Song of the Casskins published well by Scholastic Australia/Bloomsbury UK; Book of prose The Water Planet published by Satcen, Neutral Bay Sydney, Book of Non-fiction Reflections on Palliative Care...published Fitzwahoo 2000. I am slowly still writing 4 other books.
