BEIJING ON 18 AUGUST 2014
I have recently been on a visit to China and Pyongyang, DPRK, which was very interesting and enjoyable. Most people are aware I am not a trolleybus fan, but had to hide my scruples on this holiday - and they can be useful when air-conditioned (the temperature was 34 degrees C) and going in the right direction.
