mircea_popescu: some places had success with nightly plowhing of beaches.

mats: once i have my tw passport, i will be able to apply for an MTP (mainland travel permit), which will allow for 90d stays in china proper
mircea_popescu: o nice mats

lobbes wonders if this is actually a bug in the english language. Closest word I could think of to denote both "to/by" was "via", but that does not really work in this case
