Xing ba ke!
Hi Katie, Thanks very much for the photo of Xing ba ke - xie xie, xie xie. It looks impressive and high-tech - like a glass tube (with good coffee inside). As usual, the family style meal looks yummy! The Luce Chapel - the name Henry (& Claire Boothe) Luce came up often in the Contemporary China history class I took last spring, so very interesting to see your photo and caption. I. M.

You are a very descriptive writer - the tranquil beauty of the tea plantation, and the sweaty mugginess of just walking around. Glad to hear your Chinese language skills are improving - especially so you can order that delicious sounding intestines with spicy blood soup. Lianne is complaining about one aspect of her internship - she attends events which are often held in big Chinese restaurants - she ends up with plates full of jellyfish and chicken heads. Happy 4th of July to you! We eagerly await your next blog entry! Terry
