Stan and I were done with our planned site visits, but not with the paperwork. Yes, even in tropical China, there’s always paperwork. So we ate a hearty breakfast, knowing full well that even the condemned get to eat something. The buffet was well stocked, and I tried out more of the Chinese goodies [...]
Wednesday’s a special day on this trip. We made our last site visit! We saved the “best” for last. At least the longest, anyways. We visited a factory in Guangzhou, which is nearly two hours from Shenzhen one-way. My previous visit to Guangzhou involved the same factory, nearly three years ago. I have some interesting [...]
The sun comes up early in Shenzhen, and today it brought rain with it. In fact, a deluge. So much rain it had to get an early start, and the thunder and lightning preceded first light by about an hour.

We had a few legitimate chores, but naturally we took the opportunity to eat [...] This entry is part of a series, Austin Scene» I’ve been to Xiamen, China several times, and enjoy the food there very much. (Xiamen is in Fujian Province, for those without a China map handy.) Because of that, I watched with interest as the Old San Francisco Steakhouse in Austin morphed into the Fujian Grand [...] Here’s a quickie for your fish requirements. (No, those fish don’t need a quickie, YOU do!) Black Bean Garlic Fish This one is flavorful and spicy (if you include the chile strips), but what I like about it is how easy it is to make. Almost any firm white-flesh fish works. Probably would work for shrimp or [...] I woke up homesick this morning. For a place I visit infrequently, and not since January of 2007. Yang Ming Shan, the mountain park and resort only a city bus ride from downtown Taipei, Taiwan, is the area I mean. In particular, the village of Zhu Zi Hu, or Bamboo Lake in American-speak, was on [...] |
