Love the play with Emperor Pommes. The loss of ferries in the name of progress is as bad as the loss of fairies for the same reason. Took one from Aransas Pass to Port Aransas last weekend - with another wonderfully moody sky - and there was never a better way to cross the Mississippi River in New Orleans than by ferry.murat11https://www.blogger.com/profile/00663364407992075130noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3607441034503290367.post-31312690853386301252011-01-18T19:06:27.414-08:002011-01-18T19:06:27.414-08:00Great translation, Cloudia.

Pommes would love to leap out his window at the sparrows. <br /><br />I hope to see you in March/April when I am in Hawaii for the Association of Asian Studies conference. I am saving an entire Sunday to visit your boat and eat dim sum Honolulu style.Teresahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12831169405732892599noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3607441034503290367.post-75749149319326578192011-01-18T17:37:56.446-08:002011-01-18T17:37:56.446-08:00"insomnia

There are some posts on e-cuneiform about his formidable ways. He definitely rules his house from the top of his throne. <br /><br />I think that sui banne is made of rice flour. According to the English, it has dates in it. I think there is also a bit of honey from the taste. <br /><br />I had read about the Hakka village when I did the paper on the Hakkas two years ago during my first semester of my MA. The "village" has now been swallowed up by the city, but it was really cool to be in a place about which I had read an anthropological journal article (from the 1970s) and to find Hakka food. <br /><br />Robin, Pommes the Wonder Cat is truly amazing, as are his minions. I do hope to go back at a time when it is NOT raining. There are a lot of things in Hong Kong that I would like to see.Teresahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12831169405732892599noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3607441034503290367.post-65225017091871316552011-01-15T09:06:45.460-08:002011-01-15T09:06:45.460-08:00Loved the pictures.

Great pictures and how cool that you got to visit the Hakka village and eat an old favorite. What's sui banne made of? It looked like some kind of rice dish. (I'm so ignorant of all things Chinese.)<br /><br />LindaLinda McLaughlinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15291670592316021851noreply@blogger.com
