Photos from the Great Wall

Finally, an explanation for why Chinese people seem to have one leg longer than the other. Sorry.

Some guy tried to tell me that they used sticky rice instead of mortar in the construction of the Wall. Make of this what you will.

The brilliantly designed forts feature delightful vistas through medieval windows that allow for cross-breezes and ideal smoke-oh spots.

That’s me, way down there – going down is actually harder than coming up.

Flags at the entrance to the toboggan run at Mutianyu. Yep, it doesn’t get any cooler (or tackier) than this.

The Chinese were well known for their creative use of spirit-levels in the construction of the Great Wall.

Oh to be young, in love and walking on the Great Wall at Mutianyu in the Springtime.

First Impressions of Beard

For all the doubters who cast nasturtiums on my ability to grow a beard, new evidence has emerged in the form of archival photos and painful memories. Please, consider these first impressions of beard, taken whilst freezing my arse off in Sapporo, Japan. Given my albino skin colour, the presence of bed-hair in these shots and the location of the “shoot” inside a dormitory room in a hostel, I think it’s fair to say that my beard-modelling career is officially dead in the water.
