Home on the waters | Under the Yunnan Sky
https://renainchina.wordpress.com/2014/02/06/home-on-the-waters
Under the Yunnan Sky. Home on the waters. February 6, 2014. I’m noticing three distinct themes on this trip: home, faith and respect. Starting with home–Not too long ago, right before I left for college, the last time I really “lived” at home, I felt embarrassed about the state of my house. It was never neat or presentable enough for guests. Leave a Reply Cancel reply. Enter your comment here. Fill in your details below or click an icon to log in:. Address never made public).

Under the Yunnan Sky. April 5, 2014. Two things I learned from this visit: (1) Natural ingredients are all you need for good, strong flavors. (2) Simple is delicious. I’m imagining the colorful supermarkets in urban China and the United States, and, while part of me craves that sort of convenience and sanitation, I’m hesitant about the artificial flavoring and ingredients in those fanciful packages. Why do we need stuff we can neither pronounce or visualize in our food? In the developed world? I’m ...

Forgotten By Time | Under the Yunnan Sky
https://renainchina.wordpress.com/2014/01/28/forgotten-by-time
Under the Yunnan Sky. January 28, 2014. In Mandalay, local Burmese people don’t have household landlines and not many have cell phones, so you see these tables on the streets with a phone (a really, really old phone) and the yellow pages. Cars are old, used Toyotas, driver’s seat on the right. Pick-up trucks are the public transportation of choice. Cannot emphasize how old the cars are. But hotels have Internet. Bagan is a land of many temples. Seriously magnificent in scale. Leave a Reply Cancel reply.

Meet | Under the Yunnan Sky
https://renainchina.wordpress.com/meet
Under the Yunnan Sky. I love falling completely unaware of time’s passing. that feeling of purpose, adventure, pure fascination and desire for perfection. Kind of like when you have art supplies and a vision. Living, perhaps, feels like that. My attempt at living brings me to China. If anything is as I imagine (and most probably it won’t), I’ll learn many things.culture, dialect, equality; be many things.fellow, friend, expat, newbie, sister, teacher; and hopefully.

Lots and Lots of Seafood | Under the Yunnan Sky
https://renainchina.wordpress.com/2014/02/03/lots-and-lots-of-seafood
Under the Yunnan Sky. Lots and Lots of Seafood. February 3, 2014. I was expecting this trip to be very offline, in Myanmar at least. But I’ve had fairly convenient access to Internet pretty much everywhere I’ve been. This is simultaneously great and not-so-great. To update, I’ve been eating lots and lots of really fresh seafood. I could live in Thailand for the food (and humidity). Leave a Reply Cancel reply. Enter your comment here. Fill in your details below or click an icon to log in:. Sorry, your blo...

Read | Under the Yunnan Sky
https://renainchina.wordpress.com/read
Under the Yunnan Sky. Fun stuff with significance, some good reads :). 8211; http:/ offbeatchina.com/. A collection (somewhat random) of articles, stories, and news gathered from the Chinese web. What the Chinese think. 8211; http:/ www.foreignaffairs.com/. In my opinion, this is the best. Great prose (easy to read) by the most respected people in IR. The articles also have large text and wide spacing, which make reading enjoyable. 8211; http:/ www.smartclassroommanagement.com/. Leave a Reply Cancel reply.
