I won't argue his appearance because he is indeed a handsome fella.
He looks worried in all the pictures I have seen. But maybe fear is the new sexy, who knows.

And thanks for the intelligent compliment, except it isn't one. Because I was asked to meet with a intelligence service recruiter. I never met that guy or lady because asking around and spending 10 minutes doing research, just showed that being an analyst for (any) intelligence service is the most boring, dumbest and unfulfilling job on the face of the earth. And the person trying to hook me up told me, that mostly dumb people join, that is why they recruit a lot of ex-military. A lot of people watch too many spy and conspiracy flicks. Check out the job requiremtns and then you will see.

So sorry to slow you down there honey, but being in the intelligence business is for stupid people in the first place and then getting caught is, -well you do the math.

Who is a spyer in kunming or anyhere else (whatever a spyer is) is not an art. every hacker can find that one out.
He is most definitely not intelligent, because if he would be intelligent he wouldn't be on the run, nor would he been spotted as the leak.

If he is a great man we will see, depending on what you consider as great. Mandela, Ghandi, Khrushchev....etc. or just a bloke that opened his mouth more than he should have and then even talking a lot of ..poopy poop...that my Snowden supporters, we will see very soon.

Greetings to last source revealing the earthshaking news of, thanks to him we know that people in offices like to talk a lot of dirt when nobody (seems) to be listening.
Big Mystery solved! People in offices talk dirt...Nobody could have guessed! ....whatever newsworthy nil-formation bulllcrap that was about, was it worth it Mr. Mannings?

All govs are full of it doesn't matter what flag is hoistes on their roofs.

You probaby tried it already, but there is blood tofu, I think it's duck blood. It's used in tons of different dishes.

I heard of a minority or even more of a tribe in one of those villages around Dali that still eats raw meat, which is somehow preserved in the soil over a period of time. Saw it in a documentary about this American Japanese guy travelling the routes of Zhang He and Marco Polo, National Geographic I think it was. Great docu by the way.

That would be most def some very special Yunnan cuisine.

I like to do my quiet work at Cafe Prague, the Wenlinjie branch.
It's not exactly as quiet as a library in there but they have good strong coffee, good prices for alright food and outdoor seats.

They have free WiFi, too. Although sometimes the modem crashes and you need to tell the waiters to reset the WiFi.
My favourite quiet place at WLJ.

I have never practiced Aikido but I would like to start. I have a few years experience in other martial arts.
I was wondering if there is room for one more aikido enthusiast to join the group, or if you find a dojo, to let me know about it.
I'd appreciate it.
