Don't know if I'd use the word 'love', but there are a lot of things I like, including all the things you mentioned, with the exception of the puns, which are okay but which don't really interest me much in any language. I would add: the generosity & friendliness of the country people in particular, as well as a lot of the landscape, and variety of landscape, in many areas. I'd also say I appreciate the basic toughness of the people, which is not always obvious unless you look at the history they've had to put up with, fascinating as it is. Also, there's something about the sense that, in China,, you're dealing with a very large percentage of the human species that I find satisfying, even when the events that affect the Chinese or that they participate in are not necessarily positive. I also like China because it's become very familiar.

Voltaire, I've got a reference or two for the British in Simao, but my files are disorganized, can't do a search right now, but contact me if you're interested & I'll do it later.

Can't remember personally planting anything for a very long time. However, I'd imagine the cheap farmers have. I'm not sure the problem is their ignorance, but perhaps that of their leaders, but they're stuck for economic reasons and so have to follow orders. Anyway, it's not as if their are no good gardeners in China - seems it's a matter of making sure those who are are allowed to get into positions where their 'orders' will be the ones that make sense.

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.
