Wow, boy was I tired after Rehab yesterday. I wonder why it is so very tiring. Afterall it is Shung Way that’s doing all the work. I just lay there and be administered to. Nonetheless I was exhausted afterwards so we spent the rest of the day slouching in our room.
Shenzhen is just across the water from Hong Kong. It has a population of 13 million so is probably 3 time bigger than Sydney. We havent done much exploring but what we have seen is very clean and tidy. I spend a lot of time standing at our window on the 19th floor, fascinated at the movement of the traffic. So many cars, buses, bikes all seemingly heading in chaotic directions, yet there is a strange patience and tolerance that we dont see in Australia. The traffic flows smoothly with no accidents - lot’s of horn blowing, but that’s done in good nature it seems.
On 13th I am heading north to Qingdao where the Paralympic sailing competition will be held in 2008. Jon, who co-ordinates the treatment here for the international patients lives in Qingdao, so he will accompany us up there. With Jon’s help and contacts we’ve already made appointments to meet with numerous organisations to introduce the concept of Sailability to the good folk of China.

Hi Jackie,
I am Mac’s son and was just taking some time to read through your blog. I hope that you dont mind. Hopefully I will be able to meet up in person with yourself and Chris and hear about your Sailability business in person. The last post is looking far better from a formatting perspective and the photo’s are great.
