carnage
For lunch: jellyfish, something we thought might be turtle, shrimp with all their parts, tasty root veggies of unknown sorts with fried fat, crab guts, and, oh, French, albeit ‘cabernet merlot’ red wine.

wandering wenzhou
Wenzhou is different than I expected. I knew going in it was a small city – of several million people – and one of many centers of China’s low-tech industrial machine. Google National Geographic’s story from summer 2007 on China’s boomtowns so I don’t have to type it all here on the phone. But do [...]
