This is a pretty good book. I got my kindle version ($10.99 USD) a month ago. Scally's review pegs it well.

Yunlong ham is salt cured. In fact, Zhang Mei takes you to the salt villages where you learn how salt is mined. Then the curing process is explained. It is interesting and well written.

Zhang's husband, John Pomfret, has written a couple of books on China as well.

How little Han attitudes toward other cultures have changed. In 1407 - 1428, the Ming re-conquest of Dai Viet (Vietnam) was militarily harsh and the imposition of direct political rule and cultural assimilation all too real. Upon arriving, the "Ming burned Dai Viet books in an attempt to reset the Vietnamese clock to Chinese imperial time. Scores of Chinese bureaucrats debarked to run the province, pushing local leaders out of the way and scorning 'barbarian' customs as they did so."

Thanks for this series.

Zomia is indeed being sliced and diced. For centuries, people have lived out their lives close to the land with success.

Now progress intrudes and a way of life disappears. Money replaces barter, electricity flows and folk are pushed aside. Cheap power and lights for China but little for people of Zomia.

Good for quality, but pricey, hand tools.

Be aware they will push whatever they are selling. Some of the staff have no idea about the technical side of appliances.

I went there to buy a stove. I repeatedly told them I would be using bottled gas. They sold me a stove. When I went to my local gas guy, I learned there are at least three kinds of gas sold. Luckily, B&Q did not deliver as promised. I went back to the store and discovered they had sold me a stove they needed to be hooked up to the gas main. I got my money back.

The sales lady was almost in tears, 没有问题！I don't know if it a safety or design issue, but I would think B&Q would know and care.

Last week had an 8:45am flight.

Subway starts at 9am. I have no idea where to catch an airport express bus. Eight taxis refused to go to the airport. After almost an hour standing on Beijing Lu took a black taxi, this dude drives slower than my mother, 120 yuan.

Flight back was delayed so I learned the subway stops running at 6:10pm.

Getting a taxi back was easy, more taxis than customers. Taxi was 87 yuan including 1o yuan toll, airport to Beichen area. Yes, he took a longer route than necessary.

Kunming imagines being a gateway for international travelers. New airport but hard to get to and from it.

World Class Airport, NOT!

Tonight "Peacock", a performance by Yang Liping (杨丽萍), to begin her world tour, 8pm, 100-1680 yuan at Yunna Haigeng Auditorium.

Saw this lady perform at the Pasadena Civic Auditorium, in California, in 1995. Quite a good and interesting show.

I'm going to try to make it.

Not so good. Kimchi had a very sour taste. Other food was nothing to brag about. I don't think I would go back.
