10/27/2015

0 Comments

 
It’s Booklust Wanderlust bookreview time again! This month over at The Displaced Nation, I reviewed Huan Hsu’s memoir THE PORCELAIN THIEF about searching for his family’s buried treasure in China. Hsu, the American-born child of Chinese immigrants, deals with culture shock, learns about the history of the porcelain industry and uncovers the details of a family legend.

I'm not a huge fan of organized sporting events, but I *am* a big fan of social media! 

One of my clients, the social media analytics company Socialbakers, has released a fascinating (and addictive!) new tool  that will measure fan participation--mentions are counted as "cheers"--for the FIFA 2014 World Cup, happening now in Brazil. Want to find out which teams get the most love on Twitter? Which players are pictured most often on Instagram? Check out the tool--and my blog about it on the Socialbakers site. Who will you cheer for at #Brazil2014?

Shopping for souvenirs can be a lot of fun. I love making lists of things to take back for friends and family, or to keep until the next gift-giving holiday rolls around. And heck, yes, I like buying things for myself too. But first-timers to Southeast Asia can find the markets and street stalls intimidating, not because of choice or crowding, but because of haggling. In my article for ThaHoliday.com today I give seven tips for bargaining gracefully. Check it out at this link.

Chinese sayings have always intrigued me--they're colorful, often poetic, sometimes a bit comical, and perennially relevant.

This week on Novel Adventurers we've been talking about proverbs. I wrote about my quest to find more Chinese sayings when I first came to China in 2006.

Follow the link below to read what I wrote--and find out why the monkey on the right is wearing such a grand hat!

Kaili Crack Buns--a featured WanderTale on Wanderlust and Lipstick

6/17/2012

0 Comments

 
I was extremely pleased to find out that my ode to baked goods, Kaili Crack Buns, has been featured on the Wanderlust and Lipstick women's travel site.

I wrote the essay while living in Guizhou Province, China, a few years ago.  Kaili is a small city that foreign tourists usually only use as a jumping-off point to get to the ethnic minority villages of southeast Guizhou. Enjoy!

Foshan's TV tower is a handy landmark.
Today my latest eChinacities.com article has posted, this one about Foshan, a small (I think there's 7 million inhabitants--so, only small by Chinese standards) city that neighbors Guangzhou. The two cities are linked by public transportation and a shared history here on the Pearl River Delta.

Click the link to find out why Foshan is famous:
