 GJ> There have been certain ethnic minorities which have suffered in both

 ML> I have my doubts, because China's capitalism is not tempered
 ML> with any kind of ethic, whether religiously or socialistically
 ML> or whatever based. I'm extraordinarily leery of China.

I understand your leeriness, but although I haven't been past Macao,
people I know who work in China say that life there is now much more
humane and prosperous than during the days of the Chairman.
 
 GJ> September is the beginning of the "sturm" season.  Please ask for it

 ML> There's no such thing as good Sturm. It's like good vinho verde,
 ML> a contradiction in terms. And the alcohol content is too low anyway.
 ML> Might as well drink beer, which is better there.

The alcohol content is variable, and the late fermentation red Sturm
is not too sweet, and can be quite pleasant as a drink, if not
considered as a wine.  Alternatively, you could look out for a green
bush above a door, to indicate that it is a winery open for business.
 
 GJ> I understand there is a recently created vacancy for a Controller.
 ML> I understand there have been protests about this, as the
 ML> controller didn't endanger anyone in any way; it was merely a
 ML> "take the kids to work" thing that went totally misunderstood,
 ML> not to say wrong. Interestingly, it's the pilots who are taking
 ML> up the controller's case - something that leads one to the
 ML> inescapable conclusion that there wasn't a breach of safety.

Hmmm.  I suppose the controller's controllers would have looked at the
"what if" case of an emergency like a dead-stick landing occurring
while there was a small child distracting personnel.

 ML> The worse issue is that the main runway is closed for maintenance
 ML> until July.

What are they doing.  A simple re-surface shouldn't take that long.

Today I have been arranging travels to my Austrian friend's birthday
party, with further travel to Prague, Krakow and Warsaw.  The arranged
itinerary has us spending 2220 on 2nd June until 1200 on the 3rd at de
Gaulle, Aerogare 1.  As I have never done time in a French airport,
what do you suggest we do with that period?  We will also spend 0635
to 2150 at Kuala Lumpur, but hopefully that will be enough time to
make a quick visit to the city.
