Light a Candle for St. Christopher

St Christopher holds patronage of things related to travel and travelers.

According to Wikipedia these things include protection "...against lightning; against pestilence; archers; bachelors; boatmen; bookbinders; epilepsy; floods; fruit dealers; fullers; gardeners; for a holy death; mariners; market carriers; motorists and drivers; sailors; storms; surfers; toothache; and transportation workers" Well thank goodness, now all I have to watch out for are the rapists, the cheap streetfood we often pay dearly for, pickpockets and little sneaky, annoying children.

My living-out-of-a-bag story proceeds to Chapter Two this week.

First up, Shanghai.
