Moving on

Uncle N's been home from Hangzhou for a few weeks but he'll soon be leaving to start a new job in Taipei, so we're getting ready to throw him a farewell party ... any excuse to visit the Chinese supermarket!

"Arriving at each new city, the traveler finds again a past of his that he did not know he had: the foreignness of what you no longer are or no longer possess lies in wait for you in foreign, unpossessed places."
(Italo Calvino)
