Got a flashcart for an old GBA I had laying around because I had this idea that "Hey I might stop being considered a tourist if I played the first SMT game on real hardware" but it's surprising how much the ergonomics of this thing sucks when you are not 14.

It is on.
Might have landed a dream job. The gallery where I had my exhibition last year wants me to deliver a course of multiple lectures on various aspects of Chinese philosophy, history, aesthetics, art etc. Since they are an accredited gallery, they can pay me contractually. Pumped.

The Four Classics of the Yellow Emperor says: 1.5.10 以強下弱，以何國不克？以貴下賤，何人不得？ "If the powerful demonstrates modesty towards the weak, which country cannot be overcome? If the noble shows regard for the humble, who cannot be won over?"

On the topic of cigarettes, Dazai favored Golden Bat, a popular inexpensive brand. Chūya Nakahara and Ryuunosuke Akutagawa both shared this preference as well. He also smoked Sakura, imported Camels, and Peace brand cigarettes. *Last Quote from One Hundred Views of Mount Fuji

One of the beautiful things about China is that you can go and physically see and observe the development for people like this. You can literally look around and see the network of additions and alterations to their life that result from development.
A glimpse into 'median China'. This is a 41 year-old man and his 29 year-old wife. He is a 'businessman' and she 'runs a home shop'. They have a 3 year-old son. They have what seems like a rather rural existence. They live in a two-bedroom house. They have reliable electricity
