Recently, on The Barstool

It's been a rich few weeks on my companion blog, Round-the-World Barstool Blues.   I've posted a video of a moving performance by Beijing folk singer Zhou Yunpeng, and a link to a video profile of my favourite Beijing bar, 12 Square Metres.   I've also expressed my anxiety at the possible disclosure of my identity.   And just now I have posted a tribute to my favourite barmaid (and one of my great, foolish crushes of the year - although I accepted that she was far too young for me, and I think the affection she inspired in me was really more fraternal than lustful).   All well worth checking out.
