		<title>In action how like an angel &#8230;.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Now I remember why I&#8217;m here. I&#8217;m sitting in the front row of the theatre, stage right. My strap artists are finally out of the training room, and on the big winches. The best strap artist in the world has just tried his first flight in the new space, and is 40 feet over my [...]]]></description>

		<title>Happy New Year!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Also, boom. This weekend, there will be pictures of the boom. Bigger fireworks displays than the commercial ones in Australia, and it&#8217;s just random folks setting them off. Tomorrow, that will be us. Work proceedeth apace. Ex-co-workers of mine will be unsurprised that my first performance evaluation consisted largely of &#8220;satisfactory&#8221;, with some &#8220;outstandings&#8221; and [...]]]></description>

		<title>Days like these&#8230;.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Matters are now much improved. We had a very productive week at work, the show is going to be very pretty, everything is coming together nicely. More importantly, this weekend, Macau started feeling like home. The weather today was lovely &#8211; warm, sunny, not too humid &#8211; so we went to buy a heater, and [...]]]></description>

		<title>So very, very tired.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We have the theatre, we have a lot of funky new toys. Of course, for every roll of Spectra, there&#8217;s a few dozen spreader beams to hang, at a couple hundred pounds each. Nonetheless, there is Spectra. If you&#8217;re not a rope nerd, just use your imagination. So, work proceedeth apace. There&#8217;s a bit of [...]]]></description>

		<title>Sorry, excuse me, thank you, pardon me, please!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Before I came to China, I would go for food (mostly pork) with my girly asian ex-managers (independently. In fact I&#8217;m not sure I&#8217;ve ever seen both Leon and Thorf in the same room together. Hmmmm&#8230;.[0]).  And when I knew I was going to Macao, I would ask questions, like &#8220;So when a waiter brings [...]]]></description>

		<title>Relative value.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We have 3 piggy banks. One for Hong Kong dollars, one for Patacas (MOP), and one for Renminbi (Yuan). In Hong Kong, they take Hong Kong dollars. In Macau, they take Hong Kong dollars and Patacas. In Actually China (ZhuHai), they take Yuan and sometimes Hong Kong Dollars. So Hong Kong Dollars are generally safe. [...]]]></description>

		<title>It&#8217;s horrible, I love it, what is it?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So it&#8217;s been an interesting few days. I&#8217;ve spent most of this week dealing with immigration in various forms &#8211; either being fingerprinted for my Macau work permit, or getting a visa for China, or trying to get accurate information on a stay permit for Rabbit. I think it&#8217;s all sorted now, but oy, the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Sunset over the Empire.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[At the end of the day, it&#8217;s important to remember that Macau is a city of half a million people. I grew up in a city of half a million people. So some things are eerily familiar. There was only one decent cafe in Canberra, too. Many things, of course, are different &#8211; it&#8217;s crowded, [...]]]></description>

		<title>This is what you want &#8230;.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[All day in the theatre, finally. I&#8217;m a lot better at wiring up CM power and control leads than I was 8 hours ago. Also, putting hooks on CM 2 tonners. Man, they&#8217;re big motors. Not as big as our winches, but then our flying winches travel at 10 metres per second. Mmm, toys. jai. [...]]]></description>

		<title>Accentuate the positive&#8230;.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Because otherwise I&#8217;m going to leap to my feet screaming &#8220;Are you people all BUGFUCK CRAZY???&#8221; And they are, of course, and that&#8217;s because you can&#8217;t get a decent cup of coffee in this fucking hemisphere.  So yesterday morning I was on my way to work, and went past my local worker&#8217;s cafe ($2 crispy [...]]]></description>
