She teaches me Chinese words for the body. She is my new friend, even though she doesn’t say much. Which changes the “tone” of your conversation a bit. Pepper is helpful, but I was learning words based on their relationships with each other. Head is tǒu. So hair is tǒu. So then eyebrow is. And then mouth is.

Words Cubed Writing Blog. 1,000 Miles in 2011 Running Blog. Wednesday, March 7, 2012. Kunming, Yunnan Province. I really love this photo. It captures so many things about China and about what I notice, revealing things about both of us.

Moving stuff in this country often means using your body to do the work, regardless of the item. Strong backs are the backbone (pun intended) of getting things done. Scenes From a Run.
