Those of you who know a little of the secret origins of Spaceman Jack Dee, ( and I know that there are at least 2 of you out there) will also know that he is rather interested in the Orient and has spend some time in China.
Well I’m blasting off again early September. The first part will be attending a few things commemorating the life and legacy of a great New Zealander, Rewi Alley. Unfortunately few of the younger generation have heard of him but in the best "good keen man" Kiwi tradition he helped out a lot of children in some of the poorest areas of China.
I will be going to Beijing, Lanzhou Shanghai and Rewi Alley’s old school in Shandan, Gansu province. Then if all goes smoothly off to Chengdu, Sichuan province to meet some old friends and do my bit teaching English.
I will post more on this exciting development later, in the mean time, ponder this;
Where did the US Marine Corp. battle cry "Gung Ho !" come from ?
All will be revealed in the next exciting episode of Spaceman Jack
