      Trolleyed On A Night Out...

      Jun 22, 2021

      I’ve heard it said that scootering today isn’t as much fun as it used to be because of the increase of traffic on the roads, but there were just as many poor drivers then as there are today. In our village there was a narrow road that was designated

      European Vacation Part 4

      All started well and we pootled along through quaint German villages pointing out objects of interest to each other (really we were all keeping our eyes peeled for any garages, sheds or out houses with abandoned VWs inside!). As we approached Lüder,

      The Noisy Nuthatch And Other Stories

      OH, for the silence of a city street in lockdown, where the jangle of the ice-cream van is stilled, the cars are tidily parked and the officious sign saying No Ball Games is obeyed at last. The snoopers soundlessly twitch their curtains. There are no

      One memorable show for me was the 2nd Barndoor Gathering in Amersfoort, the Netherlands, in 2018. As you may have guessed, it is all about the early Type 2s up to ary 1955, but other vintage VWs are also welcome. That second edition of the event took

      I Do So, Like Durian

      The 504-streetcar grated against the curve of the tracks as it entered the station. It pulled to a stop directly in front of Holly. The doors opened with such a clunk that she stepped back, treading on the toes of the person behind her. She was block

      I met Jill in 1982. We were working the Sydney-to-LA route, and she looked exactly the way an air hostess was supposed to: like Marilyn Monroe on stilts, playing the part of a firm, friendly nurse with a naughty inner life. None of the passengers wou

      Fox and Hound

      Y ou need bicycle taxi ? Rickshaw? Gou asked for the ten-thousandth time, smiling and trying to catch the eye of yet another tourist pouring off the late afternoon train from Hong Kong. He wore his second best shirt, the one with the fake American brand logo on the front pocket, that made him look more official, as well as his lightest-weight beige slacks, and rubber sandals. It was far too hot to wear jeans, though he had two pairs that he kept pristine and folded up at the noodle shop his mom ran.

      Gou wasn’t supposed to be in the West Beijing station, of course. The guards weren’t supposed to let anyone without a ticket or a license into the huge concrete courtyard in the front of the massive station, let alone into the echoing, noisy halls close to the trains.

      But Gou paid Shu (the fixer) well, and often, which got him into the station next to the staircase coming up from the trains, where he could get tourists to follow him before they headed to the subway stop. Stretching away from the bottom of the stairs and off into the distance were li upon li of railway lines going to places Gou had no hope of seeing. Loud speakers with polite, nasal accents announced the times and train numbers to places Gou had only heard about in stories told by his grandmother.

      Only a few other bicycle taxi drivers were still waiting at the top of the stairs, mainly much older men who needed a fare as badly as Gou, but didn’t speak enough English or wanted to work as hard. Gou’s friends (and sometime competitors) were already gone: Hy with his official green uniform and colorful, laminated maps had snagged an entire group, while Long Yen with his
