Same here "dunroaming" in Tanggu west of Beijing

Fireworks of an evening, or actually sounds more like mortar shells. Actually less fireworks than past times I have been in China.
The place is now empty, we've gone from 2000 workers to zero in 2 weeks, they wont be back for another 2 weeks for this 3 day long weekend.
I'm off to a beach resort in Mui Ne, Vietnam, tomorrow to see my other family and for some warmer sunshine.

Lucky you enjoy Vietnam, we are working same as usual here albeit with a Reduced squad of mainly Expats and nationals on 28/28 Rotation, Wish I could say the same about reduced fireworks here never stops and traffic at a standstill. My usual 10 minute journey to the plant now takes well over an hour and Temperature dropped to -8 but doesn't dampen their spirits! Parties started a week ago but the 8this actually new year so expect things will go back to normal 3 weeks from now
