F1 Weekend


Newsflash: Astronaut back on the blogs (sic) for F1 Weekend



After a long hiatus, Shanghai-based blogger Astronaut is back.

Back with a style and vengeance never before seen in this part of the blogging world.
An enforced absence, mainly caused by the relentless blockage of the Internet by the G(reat) F(irewall) of C(hina), has left the few followers of his blog with a degree of absence.

During the course of the 6 months away, Astronaut has experienced several life-changing moments. Turning 30 was a big personal milestone for him earlier this month. He also took delivery of an electric orange Ford Focus ST, which has since terrorised several drivers on the roads. Physically, he was sent to study the pandas of Chengdu, and returned with these comments:

Pandas aren't as stupid as they look. When in contact with humans, they only pretend to be stupid, so that we find them all the bamboo that they need. They even rely on humans to breed them, because sex for them is such a chore.

Otherwise, Astronaut is well. Sichuanese food and women has spiced him up a bit, but down right to the core, the heartlander in him is still very much alive. Watch out for him at the Singtel F1 Grand Prix. Somewhere at the Bay Grandstand, you will find him frustrated with the slow moving traffic that takes the time of 1 lap to descend the staircase in front of him, totally destroying his $250 view.

Watch this space!
