@ Bucko: the one I bought has one side that was really very, very fine; the other side was a little coarser but very useful. I don't remember the price but I think it was something like Y20, maybe less.

I bought one around the corner in a hardware shop on Jiaoling Lu a few months ago, works fine. 2-sided, one side finer than the other. Don't remember the price, but it wasn't much. I used a little oil on the stone and my knife and chopper are now sharp.

The AVG, the original flying Tigers, were a mercenary group of American airmen under the command of Claire Chennault. The AVG was disbanded in July of 1942, but following their disbandment the name was attached to the airmen of the regular US Army Air Corps, who flew out of Kunming, for the most part, until the end of World War II. Some of the original AVG members resented this, but the name pretty much stuck and was used in war propaganda. William Wallace must have been a member of the US Army Air Force (Corps?), to judge by the dates of his participation in the war effort and of his death.
Both the AVG and the air force played very significant parts in providing air cover for ground operations and shooting down Japanese airplanes.

Good, important.

But of course the machine running this operation is still going to be producing increased relative poverty.

Not quite what you'd call a jumping place, but not bad at all for rather standard US-type meals, not overly expensive, and with a really good salad bar that's cheap, or free with most dinner dishes after 5:30PM. You can get a bottle of beer or even wine if you really want to, but I've never seen anybody do it - maybe that's just to take out. Chinese Christian run, and they hire people with physical disadvantages, who are pleasant and helpful. Frequented by foreign (mostly North American) Christians and Chinese Christians - was started by a Canadian couple associated with Bless China (previously, Project Grace), who are no longer here, but no religious pressure or any of that. Steaks are nothing special, and I avoid the Korean dishes, which I've had a few times but which did not impress me.

As a shop and bakery, it's very good bread at reasonable prices, of various kinds (Y18 for a good multigrain loaf that certainly weighs well over a pound. Other stuff too, like granola and oatmeal that is local, as well as imported things, including American cornflakes and so forth, which some people seem to require.

Large portions, seriously so with the pizza, which is Brooklyn/American style, I guess. Convivial, conversational, good place to drink with good folks on both sides of the bar, especially after about 9PM.

Really good pizza and steaks. The wine machine fuddles me when I'm a bit fuddled, & seems unnecessary. Good folks on both sides of the bar.
