Let’s Go For a Drive



















 


 




The food pictures that I did not take are free use stock pictures. The still from Georges Méliès’ Trip to the Moon is out of copyright. The helicopter is copyright Universal Studios. I don’t know where the breastfeeding picture came from. It might have come with my OS.

Wan is the Question

I complained about China when I lived there, mostly about the drivers, but it is a great country. The food is unbeatable. I have been unable to find real Chinese food since I left. There is some great scenery around 長江河, what the rest of the world calls the Yangtze River, and the Tibet Plateau is amazing. People who know me might remember that most of my complaints while there were about the bureaucracy and especially the very bad drivers. As a visitor I will not have to deal with any of that. I will only have the usual travel bureaucracy and hopefully I can get others to do all my driving.
