Its May already. Summer is just about here. May Day. I remember 2 years ago I was stuck on a 24 hour train ride from Shanghai to Xi’an. Those were the days. That’s how I spent my May Day. No big rally. No showcase of the Communist army. Just a long slow train ride to Xi’an. And seemlingly EVERY Chinese person in the country was out traveling those days, except those working at the tourist attractions.
Was the phrase “Wild horses couldn’t drag me away” coined by the Rolling Stones? Or was the phrase already around before the song came along? Its a good song, very atypical of a rock group.
And I got my tape player in the car fixed….for now. VW would only replace the whole radio…which might cost upwards of $300…who knows. So I got a tape cleaner at Walmart for 2 bucks and it seems to work now.
