The flight time between Bangkok and the Chinese capitol is about 6 hours. My friend Jocko Weyland lives in Beijing. I phoned him five minutes ago. He was skating on a frozen lake with a Frenchwoman. It almost sounded romatic.
The only ice in Pattaya are the cubes in my Chang beer. The early evening temperature is 84. I would describe the weather as balmy, which is hom huan in Thai.
Beijing won’t see 84 until the Olympics. The sky will be grayer than an old man’s underwear. The air leaden with pollution. Sweat running like an oil spill on your flesh. Jocko doesn’t think he can get tickets for the synchronized swimming finals. I’ll have to watch them on TV.
Tonight the temperature is below freezing in nearly all of China. Trains are stuck on icy tracks. Passengers are stranded in the stations. No one thought it would be this cold for the New Year. Jocko seemed happy with his decision to go nowhere for the holiday.
Electric light ringed the Beijing lake. He’s not having sex with his skating partner. Western women don’t have much luck with men. Jocko likes rice. He’s going to Cheng-du in the Spring.
The temperature will not be 84.
He won’t be with a Frenchwoman.
