Re: After Work Beer
I should have. Returning from 4 weeks of fab sandy camping at N Sea coast. Horrible journey, DB not shining in glory. My biggest moan was not the actual delays, but the confusing info and work I had to do squinting with broken glasses at my Handy, trying to find alternative routes. And I ballsed it up. Hopfully one day a cold St G beer. Hope you had fun.

We just came from China and South Korea.
In China we took a train from Beijing to Shanghai. What a blast!
Infrastructure overthere in general is way better than anything I have seen in the US or Europe.
I am not going to bash on West any further, but, as my wife said, I wish politicians take a trip as regular citizens every now and than, not as VIPs so they could see where we stand comparing to others. We know this is Utopia since they think only about their pockets, but yes, that would be nice.
By the way, yes, cameras are everywhere, but seeing how people drive, it is obvious that there is no Social Scoring in place.
A friend from Europe told me that Social Scoring was tested but not implemented, and really seeing how people behave in traffic pretty much confirms that.

Re: After Work Beer
I think most social scoring stuff in China is now aimed at corruption. I do know a girl who in the 80s had the most terrifying week or so locked up and threatened with possible death sentence (presumably exaggerated to intimidate her) after killing someone while driving. Well actually not. Someone had committed suicide by jumping out of window, and she had then run them over. TBH I prefer late trains (and hey, I got a voucher from DB without asking, for delayed arrival.) We are off topic! Have a cold beer! Cheers!
