The weather was better today so I managed to get my photo taken at last. As I was preparing it, writing in the sand in both English and Chinese I attracted quite some attention with a group of men crowding around to comment on my Chinese. It seemed passable enough that they could read what I had written. They seemed surprised when I then tore my clothes off and jumped into the sea in my swimming trunks but they seemed entertained enough by it. Irina, another artist in residence here, kindly took the photo for me.
Now I am off to Hong Kong on a night bus to renew my visa.
