Having succumbed to a bite on the backside by a piranha, whilst swimming in the Amazon last week, our young hero has been taken under the wing of fellow canoe passenger, Xong Xui. Mr Xui is on a Chinese trade mission to Brazil and was enjoying a weekend's break up country when he became totally captivated by Roland's outgoing personality and enthusiasm for life. Unable to contemplate being parted from Roland, he smuggled him into China in his diplomatic bag. So his latest adventure begins ...
Roland Poland's postcard to Malcolm, his half brother in Carlisle, is of the Temple of Heaven in Beijing. It is coloured with Distress Inks and Copic markers.
He writes:
Hi Malcolm,
The food is great and better than The Golden Chopstick in Lancaster. And get this! - they cook it in the STREETS! - Great for a grab and RUN.
Just like the old days
Cheers
RP
Here is the page I made in Roland Poland's travel book
Wow this is amazing. You can see the light shining around the temple. Super work and that Roland is one lucky dog.
