Saxony Line I-XI
Last time on the thought stream that is the Saxony Line we talked about drugs and some possible solutions, albeit somewhat incoherently. In it we made a vague reference to the Great Wall of China. Many have traversed the Great Wall in its long history. But today we bring you a chance to help someone do it for a good cause.
Chloe Dace is trekking the Great Wall to raise money for Childreach International. Childreach International has worked with children in Tanzania, India, Pakistan, Nepal, Cambodia and Bangladesh. Here is a link for you to check out if you are so inclined. The idea behind the 200 kilometer walk is to raise enough money to help some children out. You can do that by going here. She's going in June of this year.
Which brings us to our next point, if you would like to experience something cultural in China you best do it soon. China's historic and cultural sites are coming under pressure from expansion in the name of economic growth. Even the wall that Ms Dace is going to traverse for charity is not immune. The BBC says that the Wall is not immune from erosion or unauthorized development. So, if you want to see it before it is either torn down or commercialized with Chinese versions of McDonald's go now. If you go after there are the McDonald's don't eat the Cat Stew - it's poisoned.
Also, Venice is sinking into the ocean. Go now.
And if that wasn't bad enough, you have until December 21, 2012 to do it because afterwards everything will be a big pile of rubbish.
